Headstone for my baby!

I lost my beautiful baby boy on December 17th at only one month and four days old. We burried him on the 20th, five days before Christmas and still do not have a headstone. Covering funeral expenses were difficult, we still owe for some of it and have no funds for the headstone. He was born with a heart deffect called transposition of the great atteries. It caused him to have to undergo open heart surgery at only four days old. He came out of the surgery fully sedated, on seven machines and his chest left cut open for two days. They closed his chest on that Friday (his surgery was on a Tuesday). He then was slowly taken off of each machine and then off of the vent to be able to breat on his own. All of this occured within the first eleven days of his life. We were then able to bring him home the day before Thanksgiving and felt we had so much to be thankful for...God had provided the doctors the knowledge to save him and our baby boy with the strength to survive!! However, we were only able to celebrate for a mere three weeks before I found him lying lifeless in the bed December the 16th. I performed CPR waiting on the ambulances and he was airlifted back to New Orleans (this is where his heart surgery was performed) and put on full life support. The doctors told us the very next day that he was brain dead and would not live without the machines. We made the decision to not be selfish and leave him lying in such a state as it was very painful to watch after bringing him home and believing he would be ok. We never thought we would be back at that hospital losing our beautiful baby boy. The corener stated that it was indeed congenative heart failure that caused his death. I am trying to find the strength through to go on with my life as I have other children that I am very thankful for and thank God for the three weeks we had with him at home and will cherish the memories forever. Now that you know a little about our experience please help us raise the money to provide him with a headstone. Anything at all will help!! I am not working right now and have no idea when I will be back at work and really want to provide this for my baby as I feel there is nothing else left I as a mother can do for him :(

Nick is getting deployed next month and we have to sell our home. Nick will be gone for a minimum of eight months and when he returns; we will be living in Norfolk. We have to get our home ready to sell and could use Home Depo or Lowes gift cards for materials and cash for labor. We have to fix windows, wood rot, shampoo the carpet, and bring a few things up to code. We do not have a choice, we have to sell in this market because when the military gives you orders, you have to go.

i think that these two have a love that is so special and giving . the only thing missimg is a quality night out together. they very rarely ever have a chance to spend time alone and a night at the movies would be just the thing for them! they would really enjoy it and help them relax and actually have a little time alone!
how about helping them out and give them the votes they need to accomplish having a little quality time together.
thank you all for taking time to read my wish for these two good people.

Yeah. I am so fat there is no punchline. and I am so over it. I have been afraid to TRULY try to lose weight. I am afraid of failure. So... yeah. Please help me and support me. I need to lose weight. I truly Need too. I do not want knee replacements, hip replacements, and type 2 diabetes. The ladies in my families have suffered all of this and more, and I can not do that. I have to be here for my kids, I owe them more than my idiocy. So I will no longer idly contribute to my own self destruction.

I need a scale to begin with. I need to join Weight Watchers. I really do not understand enough to help myself, so I want to work with them. A 3 month membership is just over $50 for online weight watchers. I am also wishing to purchase some used copies of " eat this not that".

If you read my blog, please support me without judgement :) This is humiliating and hard for me.

To not get Tetanus from a rusty needle! (sewing supplies)

When I started knitting hats again this winter, my daughter figured out that mommy can make lots of things she wants. She's been requesting doll dresses, a pink tutu for dress up & a hat like the one I made for myself among other things.

I used to have so many craft supplies but years of being "too busy" to craft has dwindled my supply to scraps, rusty pins / needles & rotting thread. I'd rather not get Tetanus from those needles so I'd love to replace the aged items, find cute remnants of cloth & lace for doll dresses & various things like that. I have supplies for the tutu so I'm going to start on that as soon as I get the needles!

Thanks for reading my wish.

Years of studying, writing, going days without sleep or proper food, finally at an end.
After investing over $20,000, I think this bloody piece of paper can take another $135 so that it stays in 1 piece!

The top of the line 'Diplomat' wood degree frame is made from a solid hardwood
imported Italian moulding with a highly lacquered mahogany coloured finish. The
degree is accentuated by an acid free triple mat, featuring Nipissing University in gold.

The time, the money, the retinal damage from days in front of a computer screen...

You're darn right I'll be stickin' that sucker in a good frame!

Thank you for your consideration,

The car isn't running, I haven' t found another part time job and weighing limiting phone and internet to dial up.!! I hope to be able to find a bigger place with what money I don't know so I could have a roommate to cut cost. Honestly , like others here when finances aren't good feel cranky...I get frustrated and my cat wants to play when I don't . I wish like heck everything was great for everyone. Like everyone else we all need a lot of things. I have a clock in the living room on the computer the others broke.
I wish I had extra money to help people out and it hurts not to be able to give back more like I would like. As that is the way I am.
Thank you for looking and reading this wish.

On January 5th we lost a very special girl, Laura Gray (15 yrs old), she was my niece.
She lost her life to a Group A Strep with no obvious warnings. On monday morning she went to school feeling fine, 2 hours later the school was calling her mom and dad because she was vomiting and passing out. Her mom took her to her doctor and they sent her right over to the ICU at Eastern Maine Medical Center in Bangor Maine. Lauras white blood cell count was down to 1000 when it should be above 5000. They immediatly started treating her with antibiotics and giving her fluids. Over 24 hours she showed no improvement and was getting much worse. With all of us by her side family and friends we lost our beloved Laura Gray. She will be greatly missed by her friends ,family and siblings. We are looking to get some help for her family with any funeral cost or daily expenses until her parents can return to work.

Providing a fertilizer here in the Philippines is very costly and expensive. Nourishment for the crop can aid my father's first harvest.

I’m a proud second hand owner of a DSLR camera that I acquire from my friend three years ago. It was worth a buy and now, this hobby turns into a part time job.

Most of my equipments and accessories are not bought from camera shop. Thanks to some how-to websites I have searched and it really helped me improvise on the equipments I have right now.
Like my light box that was made up of cargo box, 3 lamps, and a white cloth. Although, it is way too cheap than the one you can buy on some camera store, the problem is it cannot last a decade.

The last thing I bought for my camera is a brand new pair of batteries for my semi-automatic flash. Buying genuine equipment is very costly but can last a century, most likely.
