This came in on the WHEEL email line.  Requests like this are
heartrending.  I can sometimes send info, but can't send direct help.
Does anyone here have recommendations for help in New Orleans?

Subject: please help!

I am not currently homeless, I have been homeless and a prostitute, for the 
last five years I have lived with an abusive substance abuser, I have a 17 
month old son, and I am 24 years old.  At this point in my life I would 
rather be homeless.  If it weren't for my son I would be.  I am trying to go 
to college, but I fear I won't be to finish in this situation.  I am hoping 
beyond hope that you may know of some organizations that can help me with 
housing and such while in school or something, I don't know if I'm 
daydreaming, but there has to be something.  I live in New Orleans Louisiana, 
but if there are such places out there that may help relocating me as well, 
wouldn't that be great!  Well, I pray there is hope for the sake of our 
lives!  Grasping to faith, awaiting your reply.

Thank You,
[end forward]

I'll forward whatever I get.
