Just needing a little help...and some good thoughts while you're reading. Things are hard financially with two kids in college another in elementary school, not much pay and not a lot of child support coming in. I wish I could get my oldest something nice when she graduates from college this spring, make sure she has invitations and her cap and gown, and throw her a little party. She's worked her tail off and we just don't have the funds so she can participate in the ceremony. I didn't graduate and her dad was a high school dropout. She wants to make a difference in the world. She's going to be a social worker. :)

Seminar to boost my self employment status

Seminar to boost my self employment status

I am the recently single mom of two special needs boys. My husband of ten years walked out in Sept. 06 after the near drowning of our youngest son. Zach is ten and has been diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome, Bipolar Disorder, ADHD, tics, bladder spasms, insomnia, severe reactions to medications, and the list continues. Riley is eight and has been diagnosed with Autism, Type I Diabetes, a Seizure Disorder, insomnia, severe reactions to medications, as well as experiencing the trauma in Sept. 06, where he slipped out of the house and we found hiim minutes later in the neighbor's pool. He was blue. I had to perform CPR until rescue teams could arrive. My husband's departure has left me with the tasks of physically caring for my children while I also try to provide for them financially. The seminar I wish to attend will further my self employment career, allowing me the freedom to work from home and around the needs of my boys.

I know that there are others out there more deserving, that is why I am placing this as greedy. Thank you all for the votes!!!

Help to Find My 2 Sisters..........Please!!!  2 nd try

Help to Find My 2 Sisters..........Please!!! 2 nd try

Ok, this is my 2nd try for this......I put it in the Naughty category because it's not life threatening or for someone else. This wish is totally for me.

I was adopted when I was very young, almost 5 yrs old. That's almost 45 yrs ago! I was adopted with my youngest brother. All our growing up years I thought there were only 2 of us. Boy was I wrong!

When I was on my own, and had children, I decided to find my birth parents. I applied with the Childrens Aid Society in Ontario. Wow did I get a big surprise!! I was not the oldest of the two of us adopted together.......there was 8 children!! I had 6 other brothers and sisters out there that I had no idea even existed!! OMG you can imagine how I felt!!

I searched for my siblings for over 25 yrs, and so far I have found 3 of them. I have met them and we have been having a wonderful reunion. It's so wonderful having them in my life again!

I still have some to find. I would love to find my 2 older sisters. I have joined tons of adoption registries, and have got nothing but brick walls now. I can't find them at all. This is heartbreaking for me. I search for them every single day.

In my search I found out that my Mom died in 1976, I never got the chance to meet her, I really wanted that chance. I don't want to be too late in finding my sisters now.

I've tried everything I can think of to find them. I have a blog in hopes that if they are looking for me they will see it. Please take a few minutes of your time and check it out. You can visit it at: [ link ]

The only thing I can think of left to do is to hire a search company to give it a try. I want to apply to Kinsolving Investigations to find them. They cost $3500 for one person, so that's why I need $7000.

Please find it in your heart to help me find my missing sisters. Thank you so much in advance.

P.S.

The picture I used is myself and one of my sisters, and my 2 brothers. I have found another sister, but we haven't all been at the same place at the same time.......yet! My daughters wedding this year will be the first time we will be all together since separated 45 yrs ago! I can hardly wait!

For Aunt Dreama's wish to come true and then some

For Aunt Dreama's wish to come true and then some

I know that me and my family are in a bad situation, but some are in far worse, and I firmly believe that Aunt Dreama and Joey are very deserving of their wishes to come true. They are truly special and caring people and I truly hope the best for them. They have all of my prayers, and I hope they have yours. If you want to donate to this wish you should donate directly to Aunt Dreama's wish for her and Joey, that way there are NO DOUBTS! I don't want to money to come to me, I know that our need is great, but I believe in my heart that hers is is greater.

I am in desperate need of a van, something that will seat at least 7. I am raising my grandchildren, on a 24/7 basis I have three a boy who is 5, girl who is 3 and a girl who is 4 months,. My oldest daughter just recently moved back home with her two other boys, and every other week when she is gone with her youngest I have the 2 yr old 24/7 and she is also 15 weeks pregnant and they found a spot on the babies heart. She was in a bad relationship with a crack head that totally messed her up, emotionally she is really bad right now, My youngest daughter (Bi-polar and manic)and my son are also living at home, Just a few weeks ago and after 28 years of marriage I find out that my husband wants a divorce, When my husband left so did his va and social security. Some kind of middle aged crisis he claims. We are living in a 3 bdroom and a closet converted into a room which only fits a twin bed. And 1 bath room house. My oldest daughter and her youngest sleep in the living room, she sleeps on the couch he sleeps in a playpen, my other 4 babies sleep in a room together, my youngest daughter sleeps in the converted closet, my son has a room just a bit larger than that, and I have my room, but since my husband left I usually will lay in bed with one of the kids or in my recliner it gets very crowded at time but my main problem as of now is ?transportation? I drive a 97 chevy cavalier that only fits three car seats in the back seat. So when we go anywhere I have to pick and choose who goes, and when everyone is sick, I have to choose the three that are the sickest to take and then come back and make an appt for the other 2. I need a ?VAN?, it does not have to be a new one/ We can not go on any trips together, my grandson is graduating head start on May 11, and only a few of us are going to be able to go. We are getting by on 860 a month and that does not go far supporting 9 people It would be nice to load everyone up and even go to the park together in one trip. Thank you for listening and any and all votes are appreciated.

The town we live in is a very small very currupt place. With very limited jobs I work as a waitress for $2.50 an hour plus tips which is normally only about $30 a day Which barely covers paying someone to take me back and forth to work. Plus i attend tech school trying to get a degree in computer specialist. Even though there are no jobs here in that field. Its not a place for raising kids. there is to many drugs and to much crime. On top of the fact that im currently Homeless living back with my parents. In a very small 4bedroom house there are 10 people living here right now. I sleep on a broke down couch in the living room with My youngest son (who sleeps in a playpen). My other 2 boys sleep in a room with my 2 nieces. I want better for my children. i want them to live in a good town where they can grow up safe and drug free. I want them to have there own bedrooms with real beds. I want a bed to sleep in. I want to give my kids every chance in the world to be somebody someday. Please help show my kids that america is a good place to live. Even if some of the towns are like 3rd world countries.

UPDATE: I have lowered the amount needed because I have been able to sell (Finally!) some furniture and other items and that has helped with some of the bills.
ORIGINAL STORY:My ex-husband passed away in a car accident this past August. I have two children that I am now raising with no child support of any kind. He almost always worked contract jobs and did not pay into Social Security. The SS my children would receive is less than $20 a month each. All other moneis that he had went to pay of his bills and funeral expenses and to his mother (which I have no problem at all with - I love his mother and she needs it as she is caring for her 94 year old mother). Anyway, we are living with my mother. I am trying to get my home-based business going again, but in the meantime, bills and such have gotten out of hand. The house payment is behind as well as the utility bills. The central A/C unit has gone out. That is not such a big deal as we have put a couple of window units in (imperative for my mother as she is almost 70 years old). It is my fervent hope that I can get this business going and be able to contribute more to the household. However, in the meantime, things are getting progressively worse. It is so hard to catch up once you get behind. I have had a couple of yard sales and they have helped a little, but those dang bills keep coming. So if any of you can find it in your heart ot help us, it will be most appreciated. I know that there are others that are deserving - more so than us and I hope that they do get the help that they need. I am one of those people that do donate and volunteer to help others. I just have not been able to do so lately. I was raised to put other's needs above your own and have always tried to do that. However, with the current situation, we find ourselves in need beyond what we have ever experienced. Thank you for reading and for your consideration. And please, if you work contract labor jobs, please pay into social security. It can make a world of difference should something unimaginable happen. Had he paid in like he should have, the kids would be due close to $2000 a month combined. Thank you again, Laurie

If everyone could send my site to everyone they know maybe I could get a few sales to support my "habit" of helping others by knitting and sewing items for others--

i MAKE MY CHARITY ITEMS first THEN use left over fabric pieces to make small items to sell..

I can sell in wholesale lots to anyone-- I can also do layaway..

Know someone in need of hats for their children? Let me know and I will send some out..

I also have Baby bibs and burp clothes for new mommies in need..

I could also use sales $$ to help others on GON :)

Trying to live on SSD and SSI sucks-- just barely covers food and shelter,
and I love helping others ..

Donations of fabric and yarn are always welcome..

The final biopsy report came in yesterday. Though I got home too late to talk to Desiree's mother, she did leave me a message that the final biopsy report is in. Desiree will now have to have radiation treatments 5 days a week for 5 weeks.

This tumor has taken away most of her sight, we don't know if that will return, and robbed Desiree of the joy and smiles that I have known to make Desiree who she is. I have known this little one since she was 6 years old and she's become like one of my own. It has also kept her mother, Kathy, out of work since Thanksgiving.

They have no extended family to speak of and so have had to rely on support - both moral and financial - from friends and coworkers. afew of us have run card rally's for Desiree before and according to Kathy, that is the only time she sees her little girl smile these days. I am running this wish once more in hopes that now, while things are going to be more difficult for them in the coming weeks, more people will be willing to take time to send them a card letting Desiree know she is being thought of. Desiree loves the color blue, dolphins, dogs, and to do crafts. Just send me a message for the address.

If this wish wins, I will give Kathy the money as she will be having to drive 100+ miles a day to get Desiree to her treatments. Kathy did set up a Paypal account and so if anyone wishes to donate to help her with gas, please send me a message and I will get her information to you.

I will be away at a conference from 2/25 until 3/1, so please be patient waiting for me to respond. Thank you for taking the time to view and vote for this wish.
