I sleep with men to take care of my sick dad
Dear Pastor,
I need your advice. I am so confused and stressed out. I have been sleeping with different guys to get money to take care of my father and myself. I want to stop and settle down, but it is so hard because I’m poor and my dad’s expenses are high. I am working, but I am only getting $6,200 weekly. I have bills that cost me $10,000 weekly.
My father got me when he was old, and I am the only child he has. He is 73 years old. He has sugar, high blood pressure and poor circulation, etc. Most times the hospitals don’t have his medication so I have to buy them. I am 25 years old, and I am so stressed and fed up. It is like the world is coming down on me. I want to stop having s*x with all these guys because I don’t want to get myself killed or get any sickness from them.
I can’t further my education because all my money is spent on my dad. I need a better job, but I can’t get one. I don’t have the experience or the qualifications that the jobs require. Sometimes I feel sorry I was born because I have to be doing what I am doing to survive, and I hate myself for doing that. I tried to get help from Food for the Poor, but I was not successful. I am all alone. I don’t have friends because they failed me, so I stay by myself and cry and hope things will be better for me. But it is only getting worse each day.
One of the guys wants a baby, but I can’t. He is the one who gives me the most money. I don’t love him, and I can’t get pregnant in this situation that I am in.
Please, I am waiting on your response.

Dear Initials Withheld,
I regret hearing that your father is not well, that you are struggling to support him, and that the way you are doing so is by prostituting yourself. It is evident that you love your father. I believe that the Good Lord is able to help you. Be very careful. I will try my best to help you to get a better job. In the meantime, please pray, read your Bible, and go to church. God is not dead.
You have the desire to change. God will give you the victory. All of God’s people will be praying for you.
Pastor.
_I feel it for this young lady and as much as I don’t support prostitution, I feel powerless to stop_ I mean, it is easy to way that there has to be another way. However, I am not in her shoes and all that I will do is commend her for taking care of her father and for having the presence of mind to know that what she is doing is not sustainable…
These r the stories that touch my heart, real SAD. I agree with the pastor GOD’S NOT DEAD, after a storm there will be a calm. Keep praying baby girl
Please used a condom to save your life
Mi sorry, but if the father never setup nothing fi him old age, why you think you need fi sell your body, something you despise doing anyway? If you keep doing this you are going to grow to hate and resent him, because you will see him as the reason you have to defile yourself. On top of it your father never asked you to do this, he knew old age was coming, it was his responsibility in his working years to set aside for these days, not you! Would your father sell his ass to support you if you had financial needs? Stop it! Cause if him dead from sickness tomorrow, is you going to have to deal with the trauma of knowing you slept with all those men and him still dead. Go to the diabetes foundation and see what dem can do fi you, maybe they have some assistance or can lead you in the right direction. If worse come to worse, ask God to take control of the situation and either heal him, or teck him home.
ANON. 11.40 MOST OF OUR PARENTS IN Jamaican COULD NOT AFFORD TO SET UP ANY THING CAUSE DEM NEVA HAVE IT. AND MOST OF WHO THAT DO HAD THE OPPERTUNITY TO TRAVEL AND DO WELL. SO LETS NOT USE IGNORANT AT THIS POINT. BECAUSE I GRANTED THAT IF ONE OF YOUR PARENTS WAS TO BECOMES SICK THEY WOULD STILL NEED YOUR HELP. CAUSE MEDICAID NU COVER EVERY THING. I HATE THAT SHE HAS TO SELL HER BODY. BUT LOOK ATLEAT SHE A LOOK BACK PON HAR FATHER, HIM MUST BE A GUD MAN. CAUSE MI WUDNT GIVE MY FATHER A GLASS OF WATER..
