    Tuesday, March 18, 2008 | A Call For Help story

    I need prayer!!! The sickness at our house is still on a rampage. Last night or should I say this morning at 3/am Cathy started vomiting. She woke me up and I went downstairs to help. I have been up since then. She vomited so many times we lost count and then the diarrhea started. She was the color of chalk poor thing. She was so weak she could hardly make it back to bed each time. Brayden refuse...

  • My goal to raise $500.00 for March of Dimes

    Friday, April 25, 2008 | A Call For Help story

     
    The March of Dimes has changed the name of its biggest event to March for Babies. It's a great change because it makes it very clear exactly who I am walking for -- all babies. I am very excited to be a part of the “first” March for Babies; please support my participation.
    Although the name of this signature event changed, the mission did not. The March of Dimes champions the...

  • A truly tough day!

    Saturday, May 17, 2008 | A Call For Help story

    I am so weepy today, and I am not really sure why. I feel awful, I haven't been able to get out of bed except to race to the bathroom. It is my son Jons 18th birthday tomorrow, and I haven't been able to get to the store, or cook, or clean or anything. I want it to be so special, and i just don't have any ideas. I don't have much to give, and there is a little nagging worry, about...

    Pray for us on the gulf coast of the USA, we are once again in trouble, pray it just disappears and that his sister behind him does too.
    Been in a lot of pain this summer and have not been on-line much, when I get better maybe I can catch up on everyone.

  • CAN'T SEEM TO FIND THE ANSWER~~~

    Thursday, September 18, 2008 | A Call For Help story

    I have searched my very soul for the answer. I can't find it. Why do these things keep happening? I know that we're not "special" and I know that bad things happen to good people..and I know that many many people are going through very difficult times, but I am still searching for an answer. Shelley has been through sooooo much. She had yet another biopsy this week to rule ...

    Tuesday, February 10, 2009 | A Call For Help story

    Actually I am not the one with non-hodgkin lymphoma, it is my mother-we just got the diagnosis a few days ago.
    I dont know what it is that Im supposed to do to support her, shes in stage one and the doctors tell me that she is lucky in finding it so early and not later at stage 6.
    I would appreciate anyone out there who has gone through or is going through the same experiences as I am, to give me a...

    http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/if-a-person-is-a-danger-to-himself-or-others
    I wonder if members would sign my petition. The site is self explanatory but I feel strongly that alot could be prevented for those that take their own life if their carers were listened to.
    My son took his own life and the day before I begged the hospital to section him they ignored my pleas...and within 24 hours he was ...

    I went to the grow group and I was uncomfortable at first, then I started to think it was a mistake, I shouldn't have went, but then after a while I felt at ease. Joined in with the conversation, received support, and phone numbers of a few members. Now, I am very happy I went. 
    And now, I want to go to the Residential Center in Kankakee Illinois for further help and support for my issol...
