Last year when Katrina hit, a friend of my in Holland was planning on comming back to America. She has no family other than her 3 children. Her church along with th egoverment were goin to help her relocate...than Katrina struck stopping all funds to help. 2 of her children were held from her by the father(a police) during thier reg. Summer vacation. Due to Katrina, she was now for the first time seperated from her children. So during the summer 2006 with the supposed help of her LDS church...promising her to help get an attourny, fine her a sheeltor safe for her and her 1 child. After all the talk and convincing to the dutch father, that it would be good for her and the child to go and reunite with the other 2. . It never worked like that for her...they sent her to a sheltor all right called the Shade tree. Asheltor for abused and homeless women. She had a 3 bdrm home and was working. She gave it all up in belief she had a church family who thought only of the best.

Sounds like the LDS church to me~!
And even if they do help her out, she'll be ever in debted to them! It's not worth it, she needs to move on, find a new job, and start from square one. It will be hard, but it will be the best.

Well, there are probably a lot of facts which are missing here, which would enable me to provide the best response. However, I must say, that in every situation I've seen, the Mormon church always steps up and helps in anyway they can. I don't think it would be there responsibility to find an attorney, but they would help financially and physically where possible. The Mormons are always some of the first people anywhere in the world to provide assistance through both money and physical means, they are very recognized for that.
Like I said, there must be more to the picture. Also, she may have just had a bad experience, with a member of the church (even maybe the bishop), it happens, as we are all human. It is unfortunate people have to suffer as they do, but I'm certain, if they continue to have faith in God, and continue to take care of themselves, God will make up the difference. God bless.

Pray for another church to help. When you said LDS I knew you were in trouble. The MORMONS are a CULT. Pray to Jesus for forgiveness.
