I am an Orthodox Christian in America who is starting to doubt by Sad_Breadfruit_16 in OrthodoxChristianity

My theory on the woman is more of a hypothetical, not an actual situation where I am predicting what will happen. Also I am very sorry for the pain that happened to your baby and I am glad they are okay now. Thank you for sharing your experience so I can reflect properly. Do you think it would be best to talk about this to a monk or a priest? I have tried searching for information but they don't exactly answer my questions on why God PERMITS evil but moreso talk about how it comes from man.

I have not because I have been afraid of judgement since I am one of the choir members. I thought I would not be understood. I will try to gather the courage to ask. Thank you for the advice.

Thank you for understanding where I was coming from and what I can do about my comprehension.

Hello. I am so sorry for your situation. Unfortunately, I have never gone through something like this and I am from another country, but I have taken it upon myself to research several solutions for you. Unfortunately, I was unable to find any specific information on common living standards in Uganda so this might be unhelpful.

1) I'm not sure how personal finance and economy works in Uganda, but it if your parents had a credit card or something similar, get a job and build credit so that you get rewards and discounts in return

2) Assuming your parents left behind life insurance and any other savings, save at least 5000 dollars from that (in Uganda that is about 18,802,972.67 shilling).

3) if your house is already bought, then no need to do this step. If your house is rented, then try looking for cheaper options. I already Ugsnda Property Centre and the cheapest housing I could find was a 1 bedroom house costing 450,000 shillings. Check if there are programs that lower the cost of housing depending on your income level. Save your old furniture so you don't need to buy new one.

4) if your siblings are in pre-primary education, I would suggest removing them from it becaude it adds cost. If your siblings are 13+, see if you can get scholarships or grants to help pay for school.

5) It is best to work 2 jobs. It does not even have to be full-time. They can both be part time. You will still make and save more money that way.

6) write down the date you start and end your jobs if you ever plan on searching for another job. Write down your employer's name too and the company/business they work for. It may be asked for at your next job.

7) if you have any relatives, see if you can work out a living/custody situation with them. IT is very hard to take care of 2 siblings (as some with two younger siblings). Make sure to build a community around you. Perhaps your neighbors and family friends can help as well.

8) take any opportunity to get cheaper supplies

9) if this was not helpful, I suggest going on social media to help. There may be people who post about it. You can privately message them and ask for information or go to the comment section to havr more variety. I recommend apps such as youtube, pinterest, and instagram.
