St Lukes Baptist Church — Local services in Savannah

I wasn't going to initially write this but I was convinced to by some friends because of how awful the experience was for me. I attended the church on Easter and I was there because I needed and still do need financial assistance. And someone on the phone told me I could go and speak to someone in person about it. When I arrived and inquired for help, they said that I could speak with someone after the service. So, with all my painful and traumatic religious experiences that I've faced, I bit the bullet and sat through the service despite how uncomfortable I felt. Afterwards, I asked around and was able to get a hold of the woman I was apparently supposed to be talking to. Vera Marchel. I told her that I needed financial assistance and she told me to come by Wednesday. I'm exhausted by this point because I've driven to so many churches before that and have been given the same runarounds. I am also a full-time student with a part-time job. I told her I couldn't do Wednesday and instead of offering to help me on another day or maybe give me other information, she promptly told me, "Well I can't help you." And proceeded to walk away and speak with others. She dismissed me and I'm generally a kind person but I found this interaction extremely rude. I think what hurt the most was seeing her give attention to other students who not only attend the same school but are also in the same major as me. We are no different except in the sense that I lack the money and resources that they have access to. And yet, I'm the one that's turned away. I stopped asking churches in general for help after this. I swiftly left the building, got in my car, and sobbed all the way home. When I spoke to my mom about it, it pained me to hear that she underwent the exact same experiences when I was little. And from black churches too nonetheless. I'm extremely saddened and disappointed, especially being that the month is coming to a close and I am still without help. Trust, I've exhausted every option there is. I only write this now as a reminder of just who these...
