When I worked on a Hotline, God opened up an online connection with a young woman some years back. 

Her life was a continual horror from 2 years old till I met her when she was 22. 

After we had been communicating for some time I asked her if I could have permission to share some of her story, 

She wanted me to. The communication was done by texting online. 

I decided to leave her testimony in her own writing, sadly, she had little education and it takes some work to understand her. 

I did add some punctuation. 

“Thank you so much for everything you have done. 

you can tell my store to other to help them it ok

 i am sure my store can help other or i hope so.

 

i am so thankful you was online that night and you have helped me so much you have no clue.

i hope you can help others just like me. 

everyday a new day. 

i will type my full story so you can share with other.
