I CALLED LUTHERAN CHURCH OF HOPE TODAY, ONCE AGAIN, TO PRESENT MY DESPERATE NEED FOR FINANCIAL  AND TRANSPORTATION ASSISTANCE IN THE SUBURBS OF WEST DES MOINES AND THEY REFUSED TO HELP ME AND REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING TO ASSIST ME -- THEY ARE NOT A CHRISTIAN NOR A LUTHERAN CHURCH. THEY HAVE TREATED ME IN A VERY SEXIST AND DEMEANING MANNER -- I HAVE TAUGHT AT THREE MAJOR UNIVERSITIES IN THE UNITED STATES AND I AM STRANDED IN THE SUBURBS OF WEST DES MOINES, IOWA AND LUTHERAN CHURCH OF HOPE WILL NOT HELP ME, DESPITE MY REPEATED REQUESTS.  THEY TOLD ME THAT I NEEDED TO MOVE, BUT THEY WILL NOT LIFT A FINGER IN HELPING ME TO MOVE. WHAT IS HAPPENING IS SO VERY WRONG AND SO DISRESPECTFUL OF ME.  I PRAY, IN JESUS' RIGHTEOUS AND HOLY NAME, THAT THE CHURCH IS HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR WHAT IT HAS DONE TO ME AND ITS INDIFFERENCE TO MY SITUATION. 

SINCERELY,

DIANE K. OLSON
