Help Me God, I'm Poor!

Fiona Finn, Huffington Post Blogger and author of Help Me God, I'm Poor: Send Pennies from Heaven (2015), shares an insider's account of how to break the poverty or scarcity mentality. In the summer of 2010, Fiona was abandoned and left penniless by her husband of ten years during her fight against stage III colon cancer. Previously, unaware that the divorce rate is 21 percent for cancer-stricken wives, compared to 3 percent when husbands get ill, Fiona made a critical error. She began to focus all her energy on saving her marriage instead of saving her own life. This experience left her with a new found cause to raise awareness about the dangers to these ill women when they become distracted by divorce. Still life gave this single mother another opportunity for growth, testing her endurance and faith. For once treatment was over Fiona joined the 1 in 3 American women, 42 million women, plus 28 million children, who either live in poverty or are right on the brink of it. After experiencing painful poverty firsthand, she learned how to remove those negative thoughts preventing success. In order to move from a victim to a victor mentality, Fiona had to 'let go' and 'let God' guide her family out of a vicious, self-reinforcing cycle of poverty. Help Me God, I'm Poor: Send Pennies from Heaven offers a great deal of financial and moral support to those who feel helpless and alone. But what this author takes great pride in is her ability to weave humor into all of her books, in order to light a candle of hope for others in their darkest of hours.
