Funds for Cowboy's surgery

By: Kore
Amount: $50
Views: 40
Wish Points: 117.97

I volunteer with a dog rescue group called Retriever Rescue of Colorado. The group recently took in a dog named Cowboy - a sweet Lab/Dane mix. Cowboy was surrendered after he chewed on his owner's motorcycle. Cowboy was punished by being run over repeatedly with the motorcycle. One of his back legs is crushed and requires about $3,000 worth of surgery. RROC doesn't have that kind of money, so Cowboy has been hobbling around in pain, waiting for the corrective surgery he needs. [ link ]

RROC has been fundraising for Cowboy's surgery, with little success. The economy is just too tight for people to give away their money, as much as they may want to. I know that there are a lot of needy people out there right now, I'm sure there are much more compelling wishes to compete with. I was just hoping - won't you take a stand with me against abuse? Cowboy was a perfectly healthy dog, and someone abused him to the point that he's not anymore. What happened to this dog was evil and wrong. If you agree, please give this wish your five stars. If it wins, I'll ensure that Greedy or Needy is listed on the RROC page as one of Cowboy's donors.

Thank you! (more)

To be able to complete our backyard landscaping and fences

By: Kore
Amount: $2,000

Wish Points: 220.76

After years of saving, my husband and I were finally able to buy a new home last year. We set aside $4,000 in our savings account to complete the back yard, including the two side fences that would allow us some privacy and security for us and our son.

Unfortunately we recieved a huge tax bill this year and will end up paying the federal and state governments everything that we saved, and then some. We had no idea that we would owe so much, it really was a shock.

The $2,000 is what it would cost to do the side fences and yard work ourselves, without hiring a contractor. We would need to buy the materials and either purchase or rent equipment, like a tiller, shovels, a wheelbarrow, etc. It would be very basic landscaping, just rocks and grass.

We live in an HOA which requires that we complete our yard by November 2007. If we don't, we will be subject to fines and possibly court action. We really appreciate your vote, and especially some moral support. I've never even had a garden before, so I'm feeling really overwhelmed by having to do everything from scratch. Any encouraging words or advice is sincerely appreicated!

P.S. I uploaded a picture of our yard. Nice utility boxes, eh? The fence you see in the back belongs to the HOA, since our lot backs up to the road. I think the white jacket was left there by one of our neighbor's kids - another reason why we need those side fences. (more)

My husband and I have lived in the great city of Denver for a year and a half, and we haven't done ANYTHING fun since we moved here. No cool pubs, no block parties, no operas, nothing but sitting around on our butts at home. This is such a waste because Denver has tons of stuff to do every blessed weekend.

I'm dying to see "Wicked", but the show has sold out. We can get our names placed on the lottery for returned or unclaimed tickets. If we win the lottery we get orchestra seats for only $25 each!

If I win this wish I will hire a babysitter for the knee-biter, make a reservation at a nice restaurant, and hopefully get some tickets for one of the last three shows of Wicked! Even if we don't get to see Wicked, we will still go out and probably take in another show. (more)

To share a memory with you - NOEL

By: Kore

Wish Points: 318.48

When I was a kid, my Gramps used to put up the most tattered, ugly Christmas decorations for the holidays. They were 20 years old and from a time when he and my grandmother had small children. Gramps could afford new decorations, but these had sentimental value and so were taped, stapled, and prayed over to keep them going another year.

One of the indispensable items was a collection of large wooden letters that spelled out the word "NOEL". NOEL had seen better days - the red paint was faded and the wood chipped. Still, Gramps would stick NOEL on the garage door with rusty green thumbtacks for our neighborhood to enjoy.

Not all of our neighbors loved NOEL as much as we did. Our neigbor across the street, Neil Schwartz, would accuse Gramps of spelling his name wrong. NOEL, he said, was just a careless mispelling of Neil. One day Gramps came home from work and NOEL had been replaced with large construction paper letters that spelled NEIL.

Well, Gramps was having none of that. I don't know when he managed to do it, but the following day HIS name was posted over the Schwartz's front door for all to see. My dear Gramps had definitely one-upped Neil, because his name was DICK.

Some people would chuckle and let it go. Not Neil, and certainly not Dick. The NEIL-DICK war waged on for months. Neither of these silly old men would take the other's name off their home until the construction paper disintegrated and the tape dissolved in the rain.

Gramps passed away when I was 16. It's been many years and I still miss him so much. So many of his friends and family have moved on, or passed on, or forgotten the good times. I don't know why people want to focus on the misery of dying, rather than the robust life of a great man. My wish is that anyone who reads this goes away with a smile, and that a small part of Gramps will live on in your memory.

Thanks for reading! (more)

I grew up in Kailua on the island of Oahu, just steps away from the beach. I know you're thinking "How lucky!", and you're probably right. Except, it's really hard for a young family to afford anything when a gallon of milk is $6 and a tiny house is $2.5 million. My husband and I tried to make a go of it there, but realized even owning a modest condo would be out of our reach. We had big dreams and a middle class budget, so we moved to the mainland to start over.

We moved from Hawaii to Denver at the end of 2005. I like it here, but the extreme change in weather and culture has left me a little down. It hasn't helped that this past winter was one of the worst most Denverites can remember - we had several heavy snows, and bad winter weather from November until April. I miss my home and my family. I miss the slower pace of island life.

I've been trying to put on a brave face for my husband's sake, but I'm getting really homesick. I'm already dreading next winter, and it's only May. I really want to go home for Christmas, so this wish is for airfare for my husband, son and me. We'll take off that week before Christmas and hopefully spend the holidays at home. (more)

My family includes two cats. I've come to the conclusion that they are in need of some serious mental help.

My girl cat, Cleo, has a fixation on anything that peels. Bananas, the pull-tab on a gallon of milk, and those perforated strips from FedEx envelopes are some of her favorites. Have you ever seen a cat beg for a banana peel? It's weird. We never give her banana peels, for obvious reasons, although she does get the milk pull-tabs. She has a vast collection of tabs which she keeps beneath the sofa.

Oreo is my boy cat. He hides under my bed 90% of the time. About twice a month he runs up to me and pukes at my feet. Then he walks away. It's like he's saying "Here's what I think of you, and your cooking."

I really think that Oreo and Cleo could use some pet therapy. $85 would get us a consultation with a cat behaviorist who would help me decipher and my cat's behavior. (more)

Alas, none of my favorite pants quite fit since I had my son. I've looked around the department stores, but I everything I try on is high-water or gives me a serious case of "muffin-top". It's just scary.

I've decided that I want a pair of custom-made jeans from Land's End: [ link ] They will cut a pair of jeans based on your measurements, plus some information on your proportions, body shape, and how you prefer your clothes to fit.

This is Kari422's wish for school uniforms for her daughters. The girls started school on September 4th at LEAP Academy. LEAP is a very special charter school run by Rutgers, a prestigious American university. The following is from the school's own website:

"The LEAP Academy University Charter School is located in the City of Camden, one of the poorest cities in the nation whose public schools are among the lowest achieving in the state. The School is a result of a long-term effort that grew from a commitment of the founders to provide young people in the city of Camden with skills, attitudes, and knowledge that would allow them to have productive, effective, and fulfilling adulthoods...It became the dream of the founders to provide a holistic approach to education that would provide opportunities for students and parents and the ultimate rebirth of the City of Camden."

Kari's not one to complain or brag, although she has reason to do both! Her youngest daughter is only in 7th grade and she's already being courted by Ivy League universities - she's that smart. Both of her girls are great students. Kari has gone out on a limb and purchased the uniforms using money she needs to pay her bills. She believes that a quality education is far more important than keeping her utilities paid.

Katie just had her water turned off due to non-payment. She did receive some donations toward her water bill, but they didn't make it in time and the utility now wants a reconnect fee in addition to the amount owed. Katie and her family are currently using a neighbor's water, she has a hose hooked up to an outside spigot and heats up the water on the stove. This is a crappy situation to have to live with, but it will be worse once the first freeze hits Colorado as the neighbor will need to shut off the outside water and disconnect the hose to prevent freeze breaks. Then Katie and her family will have no source of water.

Please vote for Katie and her family, water is really one of the few things that humans can't do without. Thank you! (more)

If you can help by adopting one or more of the kids from the angel tree, please email the RHF elves at rhf_angel_tree@yahoo.com. Don't be shy! They can answer your questions and get you set up with a family who will be extremely grateful for your kindness. At this time the Angel Tree is not accepting new kids, since they've had some who've been waiting for a while.

Last round someone asked why this wish was in the naughty category. I believe this is a naughty wish because most Christmas presents are luxury items (toys, games and other fun stuff). That's why I feel that it can't go in the nice category. (more)
