Molly sent a message to Larry Ellison Co-Founder and CEO, Oracle Corporation – email address that said:
Dear Mr. Larry Ellison, I have a story to tell especially for young black women. I suffered depression and it was the hardest thing I ever had to under go. I had a broken foot, lost my job, broken heart and was kicked out of place of residence with my child in the midst of the winter March this year. I don't understand how could people be so cruel ever. I was looking for a job and 30 job interviews turned me down, including Bob Mendez's office when I reached out to him. None said why and what I had to improve. My depression got worst and worst . There were days I was worried about a home, a job and my child's safety.How can someone treat someone who was sick so badly?? Why the color of my skin be part Of my depression? What did I do to deserve this? I often asked myself. felt like giving up mentally. My brain couldn't take it anymore. I loss every memory in my head.couldn't think, write or put sentences together. I was a mess!!!! Finally I began praying a lot and began seeing changes. I reached out to people for help, few helped me with food, or paid my cellphone so I could have a way for jobs to call me. Most turned their backs on me and then I knew who my friends were. I am staying with someone but my time is near. My welcome is over and it's getting cold again. The thought of being homeless in the cold again is killing me. The thought of depression is driving me crazy. I have been to several apts and it's very costly or bad areas. I finally got a job but it doesn't pay much and I have to be on this tight budget. I want to be able to live in a good neighborhood with my child. I have tried to rent a room, no one wants to rent a room to me with a child. It's like going on these 30 interviews over again and all 30 of them turning me down.. It has been the hardest trial I had to go through in life. Where I'm staying I have to go out to give space for the owner of the house to be alone with his girlfriend. It's been tough and I need help. I've tried to reach out to you, Tim Cook Oprah, Tyler perry, Kelly clarkson for help but I just can't seem to get anyone. Kelly clarkson her songs kept me going and prayers. Peace by peace and what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Tim Cook's office called me and said they don't help in that department. It's getting cold and I just can't be homeless again with my child. I can't sleep in my car or feed her in my car again. Please help us!!!!!! Help our story to be told. It's not easy being turned down 30 times for all types of jobs. Some jobs I would just burst into tears. Please find it in your heart to reach out to me. The only person who reached out back with prayers was Delilah on 106.7 Litefm. She prayed for me to get out of my depression. I'm still seeing a therapist. It's just amazing how someone can ruin anothers life especially when taking drugs and the other is unknown of it. My life was very good and it turned sore so fast when my foot broke. After my foot broke my life fell apart, I became a nobody because I had no income. I was called a slave, I was told black people dont get depressed. My self esteem went down to the lowest. I couldn't drive due to my brain wasnt functioning well. Id forget where I was going so I had to take uber. My daughter watched me cried night and day. My daughter wasn't allow to do well in school because she is a black child and the white child wasn't doing well. A house, a floor was more important than me. I wasn't allowed to lean my crutches on the model because I would scratch the wall paper. I couldn't walk too hard with my crutches because Id scratch the floor. This is when my depression began. I saw how greed can consume someones life and make another sick. I couldn't believe how a floor was more important than me. Being black I was told you shouldn't do better than me or make more money. I was in a very confusing situation. It made me dark and mentally ill. Being kicked out in the cold got me more sick. I need your help please find it in your heart to reach out to me. I need my story to be told about depression and how my mind stay with me. My brain was 2 seconds from leaving me on my birthday. God was my answer. Mr. President please find it in you heart to reach out to my child and I Please. please pass this message on to The CEO if he isn't the one reading it. Life is amazing and I will keep no matter how bad my situation is now. Glad to be breathing and I learnt a lot through this. Cherish others and don't put materialistic things before a life. Life is more important.
Thanks
Ingrid
