A Fun, Stress Free Night Out Together For The Ferst Family

A Fun, Stress Free Night Out Together For The Ferst Family

Sherri, Tom, and the kids (Tessa & Joe) have lots of challenges, and they could really use a nice evening out to the movies, es, dinner, or whatever else they choose to do. They could even go back to Chuck E. Cheese's if they want, since Joe had such a blast when they went there for his birthday. Where they go and what they do is sort of unimportant. What IS important is that they are able to go out and treat themselves, without worrying about bills and other expenses.

FYI, I changed the category of this wish from Greedy to Needy, because Sherri is having a lot of heart problems, which I believe are stress related. Therefore, in my opinion, this wish would help her by relieving some stress, which makes it more needy than greedy. If this wish wins, the $100 will go to Sherri's PayPal, and then they can figure out what to do with the $$.

I've had my laptop for about 3 years now, and it works great! I've only every had one other problem with it, but I started my laptop the other day, and I get this warning message:

SMART failure predicted on hard disk 2

In other words my laptop will drop dead if I do not replace the hard drive. The hard drive is dying, and my laptop will need a new one in order for my computer to work.

Hard drives are usually not cheap, believe me, I've been searching online, but I found this cheap one for about 90 bucks with 8 dollars shipping.

Missins daughter Ashley been surfin on the couch making her back hurt and driving Missin nuts for a bed, Missin is a hardworking single mother and her daughter needs her own bed! All teenagers need a bed in their room with their own space. They have the frame just need the springs!

Missins story "My teenage daughter has been without a bed for a while, she's been sleeping on the sofa, floor or recliner and she's driving me crazy asking when when when I will get her a mattress. I just haven't been able to afford one yet because I've been sick and trying to recover and get back on my feet. Anyhow, she's a teen and already moody as it is and this is really complicating matters, and she complains her back hurts and I feel bad. I am trying to do everything I can to at least come up with enough to get a her a mattress so she can have a comfy place to sleep at night. We have a bed frame... just no mattress set.

I've been on the site a year and I very rarely make a needy wish I think this is my 2nd needy wish ever but I'm getting in the desperate stage..I really feel bad as a parent that I haven't found a way to get this for her yet. Thanks"

Our son has long held dreams of being a pirate. He is good at finding things his siblings have lost esp. as he is usually the one who hid them in the first place! He will soon be 9 years old and we want to give him his wish to be a pirate for the day. There is a location in Cape Cod where we will be visiting this summer that offers pirate ship parties. If we win this wish his day will start off with a breakfast worthy of a pirate captain and GROG for the rest of us, then down to the docks to impress a crew of pirates and taking the boat out at full sail. Perhaps we will let him make me walk the plank too. We will follow the treasure map and hopefully not have to fire the canons on board to keep other scurvy pirates away! After hoisting in the treasure and keeping the captains share for himself we will make our way back to land and let our pirate dictate the rest of the day perhaps laying on the beach, swimming, or shopping the little shops hunting more treasure. [ link ] We want to rent the whole boat to host a private party as with his Autism he has problems with large groups of people. We could just do the ticket price of $21.00 a head but the extra 100.00 would ensure we could purchase the remaining seats beyond the 10 it would take just for our family ensuring him a better experience. He is most comfortable around family and although he is selectivly mute when comfortable and there are no strangers around he can relax more and have fun. Please help him have a day to remember. We will then top off the night with his favorite meal then tuck him into bed with his stuffed bird and let him dream of the day he can recapture the ship! I know this is not a need but it is something fu n he would love to do and renting the whole boat for a private party is just the thing a greedy pirate would do more Booty for himself that way!

For The Rayhawk Family - Wonderful Person Needs Help

For The Rayhawk Family - Wonderful Person Needs Help

There is so much they need right now. With the chip in they have managed to get a much needed cooler and some food. But they need tarps & badly need car repairs. Obviously this wish will not cover everything but its a start. If you have even an extra 50 cents in your paypal account please think of them. Becky is a giver, and it is hard for her to take the helping hands and I can see that. I can see she knows she has to though, and I know all she can think about is the day when she can pay it forward to others. I do not know her real real well, like offline or anything BUT this is a person that you KNOW with all your heart and soul would give the shirt off their back for somebody. So I ask for help for the RayHawk family. Much needed help so they can get back on their feet and move onto paying it forward to others like she wants to.
Thank you all for your time. I am including the chip in link for those who can spare some, even little bits add up.
HUGS

(my chip in page was first made for Mike and I to be married so the link looks funny, you will see upon going there it goes to Rayhawk)

There are so many people in need way more than me I know. But with it starting to get cold and me starting school, I will barely get by paying 600.00 for daycare a month for my youngest. I am lucky that two of them are already in school. On one income it is okay, we survive, but paying for daycare starting at the end of this month I don't know how we will make it. The only thing I want is for my kids to eat and have warm clothes. They are Twelve, six and almost 2. We have this really cool thrift store that has a buy one get two free on Wednesdays. I love the place but I don't have two pennies to rub together lately. Florida gets cold too. Thanks for reading. And I cry and my heart aches for those in need. The sick babies and hungry families. Vote for them. They need your help way more than we do.

I work at home for a wellenss company and try to tell everyone that I run into about the toxins that are in households these days that are being linked to Add, ADHD, Asthma, Allergies and many more debilitating diseases. If you knew that there was formaldehyde in your baby's shampoo would you want to continue using it? If you knew what formaldehyde was- a carcinogen-carcinogens are cancer causing agents. There are 1000's of toxins and chemicals in our houses right now that is killing us or leaving us with lingering problems for later in life. I would like the chance to give you this information. Atleast knowing about it you can make the changes. Copy and paste this link into your browser and watch this video to hear that this is true and it is reality.

TO HELP AN ANGEL-6TH TRY

TO HELP AN ANGEL-6TH TRY

Even though a lot of you know me here, there is one thing you may not know and that is how special my grandma is to me. She has always been more like a mom to me than a grandma. When I was a kid she was the one who watched us and bought us clothes, but she didn't just do for me. She did for my sister, my cousins, and anyone else she could. My grandma is not rich by all means, she is just very responsible with money and very rarely wastes it. My grandpa is still working full time on his feet all day in his 70's. The 2 of them have helped their 3 children, their grandchildren, and their great grandchildren. It breaks my heart that they sacrifice everything just to help others. I wish that they would do something for themselves, even if it is just to see a movie.

I know that no one is perfect, but she is so close it isn't even funny. She is such an inspiration to everyone that has ever been lucky enough to meet her. Words can not describe what my grandparents mean to me.

I was wishing for $50 because I know she would not want to win it by herself, she would want someone else to have something too. I did receive a $10 donation so I lowered the amount to $40. If I win this for her, she will have no choice but to do something for her and my grandpa. Thanks so much for reading and for your vote.

**edited to reflect $48 in Chip In donations** Thank you!


Imagine being someone with lots of energy and love to offer - a great young guy- who has to spend the first 24 years of his life in a room the size of your bathtub with limited opportunity to come out and virtually nothing for entertaiment. Add to that a diet consisting only of bread and water.

That is the analogy that closest illustrates the way Carol's new boyfriend has lived his life. No, he was not in prison, prisoners are treated more humanely than Louie has been. I was responsible for Carol and Louie meeting and was there to witness "love at first sight". Yes, it does exist! I saw it with my own experienced eyes. They have been together for a month now and are doing fantastic EXCEPT for the fact that Louie still has a problem that is preventing their total happiness.

Louie is a 24 year old Yellow Nape Amazon parrot. He has been through at least 3 prior owners and lived in some rotten conditions. One of the things that happened to him was being forced to live in a cage that was SO tiny he was unable to anything but turn around. Some of his feathers have become deformed or damaged from constant contact with the cage bars. I have given her a slightly larger OLD cage of mine but it is only a temporary fix since it is still not appropriately sized for Louie.
For just a little over $100 Carol and I can go to as local bird fair in June and get Louie a cage that will be perfect. It will be roomy enough for toys and plenty of perches and will even have a playstand on top where he can be outside his cage when Carol is home.

Carol has done so much giving of her self and her time and resources here at GON and now she has given her heart to this bird. Thay should have at least another 50 years to spend together. Will you help me return some of the love she has given to all of us by helping Louie get a new cage?

SweetBlonde and I want to put this wish up for Michie. She has recently been diagnosed with cancer, and she is so sweet, strong, and brave! Let's show her how much we love her by giving her virtual hugs and some cash to pay for her meds. I know she also appreciates prayers and positive thoughts...and humor! :) As Michie says, she is "getting ready for the fight of her life." Let's show her that she doesn't have to be in this alone or have the extra worry and anxiety of finding money for meds, gas to appointments, and other related expenses. Let's be her angels in this troubling time!!

Merrily I Go Skipping Along Handing Out Hugs and Daisies

Yeah right. And then monkeys fly outta my ass.

But I DO like singing and dancing and happy endings! Well not me so much as my inner gay man, Fernando. Fernano LOVES musicals. He wants to choose some musicals from Amazon. Seven Brides for Seven Brothers for sure, and one or two others. He wants to sing along to the musicals while snacking on cheese and crackers and sipping champagne.

Every once in a while, I must indulge Fernando or he will explode butterflies and rainbow and glittery unicorns everywhere and I just can't let that happen.

Help With School Supplies For Many Kids - School Supply Help

Help With School Supplies For Many Kids - School Supply Help

I have a project running to help children with school supplies. Currently, it is being offered for qualified ebay families, and I want to help by providing either a $25 gift card per child (limit 4 per family) for supplies, or a loaded backpack. I will be asking for verification and checking requests. Won't you help? I have no children in school, this is not a greedy wish at all. Now a grandmother, looking back at the days when I raised my son as a single parent, I know how it feels to worry about buying this or that, even though its needed.

At $25 per child, $100 would help 4 children and their parents

My wish is that you'll recognize this is a true need, and join with me in trying to make a difference.

Thank you for your time

a chance to swim with dolphins at Discovery Cove!

a chance to swim with dolphins at Discovery Cove!

Hey everyone! I am doing this to hopefully fulfill my dream of swimming with dolphins. Now you are probably asking yourself, "Why should I vote for her?".... well let me tell you a little bit of why you should. I am a 25 year old CANCER survivor! My battle with Hodgkin's Lymphoma started in March of 2006 and is still ongoing. I just finished chemotherapy for the 4th time in May. For the past two years my life has consisted of chemotherapy, radiation, an autologous stem cell transplant, many hospital stays, doctor's appointments, a broken arm, lung damage from chemo/radiation, having to wear oxygen 24/7 and much, much more.
I have not had the chance or opportunity to do much of anything, but heal my body and try to kick the cancers butt! My goal is to make a trip to Florida to swim with the dolphins. Because the past two years have been so tough and I have not obviously been able to work and financially coming up with money to swim with the dolphins is out of reach at this time. Due to my illness my mother and I both have had to file bankruptcy. So as you can see having cancer has effected my whole life and I just want something good to happen.
I am ready to have some fun and get back to a somewhat normal life. I have always loved dolphins and have collected many dolphin figurines. They are amazing animals and are so carefree, so swimming would them would just be a dream come true. Thank you for taking the time to read my wish and hopefully making it come true! :o)
