I have been very sick this past month. I want to apologize to my friends on here because I have not been able to be on line long enough to vote. I have tried but the pain was just to much to deal with. I want to thank all of you for your votes and help through the past few months. I realize my needs are not as great as some of the others on here, and that my wishes will never be as worthy as the others on Robinhood that are in such desperate need. Thank you all again for all the votes. I just wanted to give my husband something to help ease his pain. Some of you have already removed me from your list, and I know I do not deserve your friendship, so I will be removing the rest of you from my list so you don't have to. Good Luck on all your wishes. My heart goes out to you all. God Bless you. (more)

My little boy's wish, is so special. He is four years old! He really wants to go to preschool. , I can't depend on that happening.

In May, I found a church preschool I liked. They charge $100 a month. He will go 4 days a week, for four hours a day.

When I signed him up, I thought we would be able to afford this cost.

But recently we have been struck will illnesses and my clutsy childrens E.R. visits.

These expences are way to heavy now.. I am asking for help with his tuition.

He REALLY wants to go to school, and has been so excited. I feel preschool is an important part of preparing children for the world. My oldest went to preschool when she was four, and this was a very big help for her. I am hoping someone will help us to give my son this same opportunity. (more)

A CURE, PRAYERS, AND A NEW LAPTOP

Imagine your whole world being turned upside down. That was what happened to Ben and Becky Powell on February 6, 2007 when they took their happy, healthy 2 month old baby boy for his checkup. They received the most devastating news a parent can imagine; their son, Ethan, has leukemia. Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia (infant ALL) to be exact. Ethan was only given a 15% chance to survive and, for the past four months has been fighting for his life at St Jude Children's Hospital in Memphis, TN.

When Ethan was born, his parents set up a website, [ link ] to share baby pictures with family and friends. Sadly, this site now serves a completely different purpose, updating the world daily on Ethan's struggle with leukemia. People from across the world have become Ethan's "Prayer Warriors". The chat room on Ethan's website is full of people praising God and lifting up the Powells, along with many others who are in need, to God in prayer. There have been "prayer warriors" from over 20 countries.

Ethan's family and thousands of Prayer Warriors recently celebrated Miracle Monday! It was the date of Ethan's most recent bone marrow aspiration. If his bone marrow contained more than 5% leukemia blasts the doctors planned to send Ethan home to peacefully live out the rest of his days. Two weeks prior to Miracle Monday, more than half his bone marrow was made up of leukemia blasts. However, God answered our prayers and completely eliminated his blast count to zero percent.

Ethan is now scheduled to be the 8th child in the world to undergo a risky, experimental stem cell transplant. After the transplant, the family will go into isolation for 110 days.

Whenever someone asks how they can help the family Ethan's parents have only responded with "prayer"! However, Ben & Becky are in desperate need of a new laptop for several reasons. Ben Powell is blessed to be able to financially support his family while at St Jude. He is currently a Web Designer for LSU Medical Center in Shreveport, LA. The family also would be able to continue to update and add more features to Ethan's site which is a source of information on Ethan's progress to the extended family that can not be there while they are in isolation. The laptop will essentially be the only link to the outside world during this time. Because of these reasons they need a MacBook Pro: 2.4 GHz. This is the only Mac laptop with the capability of opening up both Mac and PC formatted files, does video, audio, and will run their graphics suite.

Please help us grant this wish for Ben & Becky Powell. (more)

contact lenses

When I was wearing eyeglasses, I ran into a health problem. I developed a wall eye and started wearing contact lenses.

The condition improved and I wore contact lenses for about 3 years. But due to my financial problems, I could not afford contact lenses.

I realized that lately my eyes are going back to the wall-eyed state.

I am making it a nice wish because having contact lenses will help with my eyesight. I am deaf so it is very important for me to have eyesight.

Thank you. (more)
