I can't believe I have been reduced to this. My family needs your help. I have 3 children, 2 of which have health issues. My oldest son (8yrs) was born with a heart condition called Tetrology of Fallot, he has had open herat surgeries, angio's, and a vein collapse. My middle son, who is pictured (5yrs) has Leukemia, and we still have over a year of treatment left after completing 2years so far. Our youngest son is just 3. I was diagnosed with Epstein Barre, a virus that there is no medical cure for. Sleep is the only thing that will aid the body in repairing itself. I was diagnosed with this 1 month before learning my son had Leukemia. I had to quit my job in order to get my son the treatment he needed, as well as the debiltating fatigue that comes along with my diagnosis. My 8 year old has a birthday in Aug, and our house taxes are due in Sep. Honestly there is no money for either one of these things. We have no savings. It has been very paycheck to paycheck, with it not even covering all monthly bills. Stress is not good for fatigue, and I have my fill. The financial place that we have found ourselves in, is not good. We do not live out our means, and I know that many of you might question our situation, email me if you want to know (depleted_one@yahoo.com ). I have always been an altuistic person and love helping others, but now I HAVE to ask for help. My son deserves a decent birthday. I am not out for a blow out party based on materialism, but simply the abilit to achieve the simple wishes he has. My children have been great through all the troubles of last two years, and I feel terrible that we are unable to fulfill some of the simple requests they have. My huband and I have used this life occurance to show our kids the difference between want and need, as well as showing them that God does provide, and I must say how proud of their receptiveness, understanding and faith. My 8 year old deserves so much more than he gets. He has been the greatest to me on a daily basis.

I would be more than appreciative of my wish being granted. The taxes on our house are just under $600 with the remainder of my wish being for the birthday. I pray that with your help we will make it another month.

Please, I am asking that you find it in your heart to simply vote for my family and I. The last 2 years have taken a toll on use and although I hate to admit it...we need help. I am a married mother of 3 boys. Our 9 year old was born with Tetrology of Fallot, which is a Congenital Heart Defect. We have gone through heart surgeries, caths, angios etc...As if that was not enough, my 6 year old was diagnosed with Leukemia in 2005. For boys, the chemotherapy runs for 3 years. They start counting the weeks about 6 months after diagnosis, so we are not done with his daily and weekly chemo until February of 2009. That seems so long away. I myself have the Epstein Barre Virus, there is no quick fix for this. Rest is what will help the body cure itself. I have had an active infection for over 2 years. It causes fatigue, migraines, nausea, basically it feels like a really really bad flu...EVERYDAY.

I had to quit my job to get the care my son needed, and now to care for myself. Money has become very tight and we need help. Our bills are behind, our van payment is behind, our property taxes (600.00)are due in September, we need new tires and....whatever. I know that this wish is just for 100.00, but that would still help as something that would be coming in for us.
I am not claiming medical bills and never had. We have 2 sources of insurance, we pay a monthly premium and all. The decrease in income and the increase of expense is mostly due to the cancer that entered our lives. Occasional special diets for him depending on his counts, finding something that he will eat after his chemo since everything tastes bad afterwards and so much more, that 450 words would never allow me to convey. You can check out our myspace at [ link ] if you want to know more. I also do not expect anything from anyone, but I will give my paypal email...filiocht75@hotmail.com

Thank you for reading my wish.

My family and I need your help. I pray that we all make it through this is all on the upside. Many of you already know the details of my situation, but here it goes again for those of you who don?t know. I am the mother of 3 boys. One, my 9 year old, has Tetrology of Fallot and another, who is 6 has Leukemia. I myself have Epstein Barre and Chronic Fatigue. I was diagnosed a month or so before my son was diagnosed with Leukemia. There is no cure for what I have. The body must repair itself through rest. I had to quit my job and go to Memphis for 2 months, then we went back and forth for over a year. Our trips are now more spread out. With having 2 ill children it adds to the stress of life. The lack of my income has hit us hard. It has taken us 2 years, but we are now in between a rock and another awfully large boulder. We used our credit cards for living expenses and to make up for the loss. We hated doing it, but what else could we do. We do not qualify for assistance by dollars, and they do not count the health insurance we pay for. We do get SSI for my son with cancer, but not for the other one, they say he is not disabled ENOUGH. I am going to try again though with his next Dr?s appt. The SSI we do get is lower than what we should get in order to avoid an overpayment, according to THEM. We only get around $200 a month. That makes our total income $1400 a month for a family of 5. I will break this down for you as well...
$200 Health Insurance
92 Van Insurance (2001 purchased before I had to quit)
260 Van Payment
45 Phone
35 Water
20 Sewer
290 Gas/Electric, and that is on budget billing
200 Gas for van, we do not do unnecessary driving either
10 Internet
50 Misc. Special foods due to chemo or low counts

I have listed is 1202.00. That leaves 198.00 for groceries and anything else for the month.

I have listed all of these to let know I am not full of it. We need the help and I pray that you find it your heart to vote for our wish. I also hate to do this but my paypal email is filiocht75@hotmail.com .

This wish is partly for participation points and partly for my 6 year old son. The majority of his chemotherapy is done locally here at home now. We do have to go to Memphis every so often, for spinal taps, MRI?s and other things that they will not let an affiliate office do. Our next trip is in October. My son is already freaking out and crying because he does not want to go with just me. He misses his brothers and his father something fierce when we are there. Out of the 15 or so trips we have made, he has only been with the family 2 times. St. Jude does pay for gas and a rental car (there is no way our van would make it right now, tires especially). The problem is that they reimburse the gas when you get there, and the car rental after you get home and pay for it. The problem with this is that we do not have the money upfront. The other problem is that a family of 5 is not able to stay at the housing facilities there. There is a limit of 4. That means that we have to get a hotel. The cheapest hotel there is the Ramada Inn in West Memphis for $50 a night. We should only need for one night. If we can not all drive down together, then my son and I will fly out on Sunday, with a 3 hour layover in Chicago or Minneapolis, then onto Memphis. Then on Tuesday fly out of Memphis with another 3 hour layover, then home.

I put this in the naughty category because it is not of dire importance. My son will still get his treatment, and his chemotherapy. St. Jude will still provide us with plane tickets and housing. I just thought I would post this wish anyway. This has been a very tough 2 years on our family and any separation that we can avoid...I have to try. THis is the only time that I will run this wish because I must put the airline ticket request in within a week. Thank you for reading.

I am asking again for the help in paying our property taxes. I have told this story now 6 times, and I hope that there are people out there that can or will help. For a more full account of what is going on with my family, you can send a friend request to [[ link ]

You can also look at my old wishes. The basis of the situation is that I am a married mother of 3 boys. My 9 year old has a C.H.D, and my 6 year old has Leukemia. I myself has Epstein Barre and have been diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. The only thing I can do is rest. Rest is not what I would call easy, especially considering that I was diagnosed only 1 month before my son was with cancer. We have been through 2 years of weekly and daily chemo, with a little over a year left. This has been a strain on us financially. We have no savings, we need new tires, we are just over the mark for being able to have assistance. Although, we do not get credit for paying our own insurance and other things. We just need some help. The loss of my income was a hard hit. There are alot of other things that come into play, if you want to know that, that is what the myspace is for.
Our taxes our around $600.00, so far we have $100.00 to put towards them. The $100.00 from this wish would help. Also, I do feel bad for the ?begging? aspect of this, but my paypal is filiocht75@hotmail.com. Please keep in mind that I DO NOT expect anything from anyone, I am simply putting it out there and hoping for the best. Thank you for reading this.

For participation points and because I think it matters. I put this in the nice category, because I believe that we as a country have to take this seriously. They have linked this virus to several cancers (most recently, breast cancer) lymphomas, and even Multiple Sclerosis. The fatigue is debilitating. The response you get is usually that you are just depressed and tired. It is so much more than that. It really does attack the body.

Ahh yes, once again I am making this wish for my family and I. Our house taxes are due NOW, but we have until November, that is when they will sell the house for the amount of the taxes. I am sure that many of you are just as sick of reading this reading as I am for making it. But, here is goes again.

My husband and I have 3 little boys. Our 9 year old has a congenital heart defect (Tetrology of Fallot) and our 6 year old has Leukemia. I know, I know what is the chance of that. I also have Epstein Barre Virus, it causes fatigue and many other things. I was working, but when my son was diagnosed with Cancer I had to quit my job to take care of him. There was a lot of travel and time spent away from home to be at St. Jude. I am not saying that we need money for any treatments, that is covered by our insurances. The problem that we have come into is day to day living without my paycheck and increased expenses concerning the medical conditions. Our house taxes are due in September, and we have to get new tires BADLY, but there is just no savings AT ALL. Our savings balance is $27.00 and we have to have $25.00 in there to have the account open.

I am just going to keep trying this wish, maybe just for the heck of it, but I at least have to try. We owe around $600.00, and $100.00 would make a difference. I also do not really like doing this, but if anyone wants to help by the way of donations, my paypal is filiocht75@paypal.com.

Thank You.

Alright this is the last time this wish will run. Not only am I fed up with the posting the same thing over and over, but time has run out. I am not sure what the next few weeks will be like, but oh well, no one is ever guaranteed anything. Also, when I get back from St. Jude later this week, then I have to start the pre-op testing for my 9 year olds open heart surgery on Friday, and the following Wed is the surgery. Again the story goes...I have 3 little boys, my 9 year old has Tetrology of Fallot, a congenital heart defect and is getting ready for his 3rd open heart surgery, my 6 year old has leukemia, and I have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Epstein Barre. I had to quit my job to care for my children and money id VERY tight. We need money for the property taxes on our house. That is the most important thing right now I guess. All our bills are behind, tires are bad and so much more. An extra $100 towards the taxes would help out greatly. Just had to try one last time. Why not go all the way shameless...my paypal email is filiocht75@hotmail.com. Thanks to all that read. If you want more details you can check my old wishes..

Lots has happened this week, and it is only Tuesday. When I finally got home today, I was greeted. by a shutoff notice from our water company. I have been paying what I can here and there for months. Like 50.00 here, 60.00 there, or 20.00 over there, well it has fallen enough behind. I need $110.00 by October 22, 2007. I know that it takes a while for these funds to be distributed, but we can always rob Peter to pay Paul on the sewer and the phone bill, ya know. Since I am now at the point that I have swallowed every little of my pride dang near, I will post my pay pal email for this one too. I am perfectly aware that most of us on here are in the same situation, so I expect nothing, but pass it on, who knows who knows what or who. So here it is again... filiocht75@hotmail.com for paypal.

I am putting this wish in the greedy category because I will get to Memphis and get treatment for my son, but the monetary side of it is going to be a financial strain. I am not saying that he will not get treatment, but it is difficult to run two households on our income pretty much. The food money that we do get is only good at the cafeteria, and you can imagine what that means for a child having trouble eating and on chemo. I had to buy small liquid items so that I could fly with them. We will have layovers in airports and money is simply tight. I hate making this wish, but I am. If any of you can find it possible to help me out it would be more than appreciated. If not I can understand that too. May paypal is filiocht75@hotmail.com This trip to Memphis came out of the blue and has been very difficult in planning. We are all scared, but having faith that all will be fine. I hope that I am not gone long, but at this time I have idea when I will be home. Thank you all for your prayers and in advance for anything you can do to help this wish come true, I just need a little help.
