Hi

I'm Karen. I have MS like 400000 in USA do. I am not a widow of someone with millions of dollars nor do i have cancer with short time before I loose my battle to cancer. And I don't expect anyone to set up orphanage and help poor widows with monies I have and my last dying breath you will take over. PS this is not from Nigeria..

My MS has taken much from me. I can't walk--I use a wheelchair and now I use a hoyer lift to get from bed to wheelchair. I've been considered completely disabled for a decade. So I can't work and don't come up with a western union scheme. I am hoping for generosity of strangers. I don't want to talk about finances except to say this condition is devasting to my pocketbook. I will ask for gifts of $20-$25 or more. Any donations would be much appreciated

Okay what will your funds gto, catheters, underpads, disposable underpads, gloves, disposable underwear, home heath aide, medication copays- I take seven meds. So $20-$25 is just a small amount compared to expenses.

How might you donate. Go to http://www.paypal.com and click send money-send money to my email address kar6h@aol.com .I can only accept gifts

Thank You
Karen

To whom it may concern:

My name is Angela K. Baker. I live in Green Bay, Wisconsin and have been living with diagnosis of Systemic Lupus since I was fourteen years (I am now 34 DOB 06/16/1977). Although as a child, I knew there was something a little different about myself compared to my twin brother Johnathan. I could never run and play with the other children because my body just would not keep up with the other kids. It always felt like I had sandbags attached to me and I would pass out in the sunlight, I was always exhausted and my body cried out in pain. I just didn't know why. I can remember being like this all the way back to my kindergarten year. Not that my parents were bad people, it just seemed like they just didn't have anymore to give, there problems were so on the surface, (both of my parents are alcoholics, and my mother has had Multiple Sclerosis (MS) since I was born and as for my father, he spent a large part of my life locked away in the Wisconsin jail system (due to his own alcohol induced indescretions.) At fourteen I got a full-time job to pay for my medical bills and a part-time job working at a nursing home to help my family. I have always been stuborn and a fighter, but at this point in my life the fight has just about been exstinguished out of me and I have to admit that I need some help. Over the last twenty years I have been under anasthetic approximately 125 times. I am missing more parts than I have. I feel like an experiment gone wrong or a human pin coushon. I hope that at least some of my surgical suffering at least helped the surgeons learn something from my body...You see I have lived longer than anyone that they know of with this kind of Lupus. It usually manifesters in the late 30's or 40's not in children. My most recent operation was on June 9th 2011, to fix holes in my intestines that were accidentley left after my colon was removed (my colon exploded after it had been recected four times) Right now I have an Illyectomy system that does not work correctly, it leaks blood, bile, puss, fecal liquid ect. and the plastic appliances do not work on me because my skin is so sensative from the Lupus. My medical exspenses are so astronomical even with Medicare and I struggle every month to pay my basic needs (rent, public service water copays ect) I was forced to retire at 23 my body deceided it just couldn't do it anymore, even though I worked very hard to put myself through college so that I could have a decent job that I enjoyed. Thank God that it does not take much to feed me, because the state of WI says that I do not qualify for food stamps or medical assistance, I make $4.oo a month too much. I am not asking for large donations, I know the ecomomy is bad and we are all struggling. What I am asking that when you balance your checking account that you round up to the nearest dollar and please donate the change. My goal is to collect enough money to see a special surgeon at Freodert Hospital in Milwaukee Wisconsin. He would like to see if he can help me have some kind of quality of life and end some of the suffering that I have been enduring for a long time . I would be happy if I even received a little relief. I don't remember what it is like to feel healthy, everyone in this life deserves at least a shot at it... If I am given the help that I need, I fully intend to open my home again as a safe house ( I am not able to do that now because of the leaking illeostmy ) and I would love to a foster mom to any child who needs a good loving and stable home. The way I am right now is horrible ( I have not left my home in over six months excluding doctor appointments) I do realize that some people use these sites for frivilous things and for scamming people. All that that I can do is to give my word that I promise to pay it forward. In my life I have been through an extraordinary amount of human suffering and it is a miracle that I am alive still to tell my story, and for that I am truly greatful and I am here still for a reason. It is not so bad to live without certain basic human needs, it's the having too that is very heartbreaking.

Sincerely,

Angela K. Baker

I am a stage 4 cancer patient (lymph nodes, liver, and lung) I have been receiving treatment for the last 14 months, and I am now completely out of money. I am divorced, I have 2 kids which my exwife has custody of. A few months ago I decided to go back to work, and that just is not working to the fullest. I cant make it a full day without getting so run down that i have to leave. I try and go every day, but realistically, i get about 20 hours in a week at a time, which is enough to cover my insurance copays.
The bills are piling up, the medicine is expensive.
Between my hospital stays, i also need the care for my son who has a disease called NF1 (Neurofibromitosis)IT is a neurological disorder that among his speech delay (he is 9) he is also required to take blood pressure medicine, and the risk of a heart attack in quite high.
I notice people put some personal info on here,well, my name is Howie and I live in the Houston area, if you would like to send me a text, or to valiate that I am real and not some con artist in another country, my cell is 832-279-7571.
There are hundreds of people on here, if not thousands asking for money, so, if i am fortunate enough to have my story catch your eye, any help would be appreciated.

I am 30 years old and a former Marine, having served from 2000-2004. I was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease shortly after. I have had 2 surgeries to have bad parts of my intestines removed in the passed 5 years. I have lately lost hours at work and have been without medications or doctor visits for 2 months which has been causing me to become more ill. I've already borrowed money from family and friends and have nowhere else to turn. Any amount of money will help me to buy food, medications, and copays to see my doctors. Thank you all, God bless, and Happy Holidays.

I am 65 years old. 20 years ago I fell on a patch of ice I managed to dislocate my right shoulder chronically
and broke a few ribs. a few moths later I herniated 3discs in my lower spine and of course damaged a nerve or two
Leaving me unable to stand or walk. It took me 15 years but i finally managed to walk
very short distances with the aid of a back support and a cane. Along the way I developed type2 diabetes and of course while I was stumbling around I tripped and dislocated the other shoulder.
So back to the Chair for a while. I started coughing and could not find anything that stopped the coughing.
My doctor says I have asthma. So now we add an inhaler to the lengthening list of drugs.

Then when I finally start to get out of the chair I developed chest pains and shortness of breath.
I went into a heart hospital for the scope threw my inner thigh so they could see how bad my arteries were. Because I failed the stress test completely. Whatever they saw that morning was pretty bad. They kept me sedated and the next morning I had Quad Bypass surgery - - They could not figure out why I was not dead.
There was very little blood getting threw my heart.

I woke up 3 days later with tubes every where. There was a large incision and they used wires to hold my breastbone together.
The years I spent in a wheelchair took a toll. .....It seems the human body is not designed to remain sitting all the time.
I am 6ft -250 lbs.
So of course Two years later the wires unraveled, tore lose or broke.
They cut me open on the same scar and after a bone graft they put in 3 large titanium plates with 34 screws.

I t now costs $1500 per month for insurance (just for me plus whatever my wife has to pay for herself.)
Between the mortgage and my drugs and the thousands for copays on the two surgeries We have nothing in the bank and my wife still owes over $60,000 in student loans.

But, you know -I just have to hang around to see what the hell happens next.

The only thing I can do is ask for your help. Even a dollar or two would make a difference.
Thank you

Right now I sit after midnight,after a day of chemo and vomiting, still trying to figure out a way to pay the rent, the light bill, the car note, and my medical bills all at the same time.
My husband works 60 hours a week, but I lost my job a year ago when I got sick, and have only been a burden since I was diagnosed with a rare kind of stomach cancer.
My medical bills alone are almost more than our income WITH insurance, plus our oldest child is epileptic, which carries cost.
I really have done the math on discontinuing my treatments to try and get us out of this hole we are in. I just value the life God gave me so much, I can't throw it away. My end will come in His time, not mine. Besides, the funeral would be expensive.
We are living off ramen, behind on rent and all utilities, and if I can't begin paying the copays again my doctor is going to drop me and refer me to a charity hospital over 50 miles away that I would never be able to get back and forth to everyday. Our 3 kids are suffering, my husband is suffering, and I pray that God will show me a way, and maybe he did. I did find this website.
If you can find it in your heart to help, I know that our Lord will repay you sevenfold. Thank you so much. L

I am a 38 year old single mom of a 3 year old boy. The last year has been super difficult for us, and it seems like the rain is never going to stop. I have been off work on disability since June 26, 2010, due to heart problems. I was born with a heart defect and had to have open heart surger at 3 1/2 years old. Last year, scar tissue from the surgery began causing serious heart issues. During the course of figuring out what excactly was wrong with my heart, I had 2 different two day trips to the hospital, 3 emergency room visits, numerous doctor appointments, copays, prescriptions, changed prescriptions etc that have costed several hundred dollars in copays (almost $1000). In addition to that, due to paperwork problems at work, my disability was delayed by almost three months, so I fell behind on my rent and utilities.

During the time I had no income, I borrowed $3000 from my Mother to pay my rent and bills. Unfortunately, due to a loss of income herself, she is no longer able to help me. I also ended up borrowing $400 from my Grandparents to repair the head gasket on my only vehicle. I ended up moving to a cheaper place because the utilities were included and after living there 3 months, the owner of the house decided not to pay the utilities and let the power get shut off and refused to have them turned back on, even though I have sleep apnea and have to use a CPAP machine at night. I had a cardiac ablation done on March 25, 2011. The power was turned off 3 days later, on March 28th. It has been a full month and the power is still off. I cannot turn the utilities on in my name because there are two houses on the same meter, so if I got the utilities in my name, I would have to pay for both houses.

I found another place to move to, but spent hundreds of dollars in gas, moving truck rental fees, storage unit fees and moving help. On one of my moving trips, the drive line snapped on my Ford Explorer. I had to pay $250 to get it repaired. Eight days later the altenator went out and I had to get that replaced, which cost me $175. The mechanic told me that my battery was also bad, so I had to pay another $45 for a new battery.

On top of that, the house that I am moving out of was broken into yesterday and several items were stolen. I am a Certified Massage Therapist and my Massage Chair was stolen, along with a weedeater, my mothers Hoover carpet cleaner, my vacuum cleaner, my kodak printer, various household goods, about 35 old nintendo games, a bunch of art supplies for my son and almost all of my son's toys were stolen. 3 large moving boxes full of toys were taken out of his room. I have been working on moving all month long, but I had no one to help me and after just having surgery I was only able to do so much every day. I still have more to move this weekend.

I am sorry this is so long, I am just don't know where else to go. The kicker is, I have renter's insurance, but my work stopped paying the premiums 3 months ago and I was only notified on Wednesday, the 27th of April. So, since my premiums haven't been paid, I am not covered. I am looking to get some help so I can pay back my Grandparents, pay back my Mom and replace my sons toys and my massage chair. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I've always worked a stable job, and about a week before my benefits kicked in, I went to the ER due to the most intense pain I've ever experienced, and walked out with a 17,000 dollar debt. Regardless of making payments of whatever I could afford, it went to a judgement. The same year, my father was laid off his job of 10 years, and my parents lost their home in foreclosure. I hate seeing them struggle, and I have a lot of passion and hope that one day I can get myself out of debt and then help them too.
This year I was diagnosed with lupis, and cervical cancer. I am 24 years old. Thankfully I have health insurance now, but still have paid over $200 dollars in three months for $15 dollar copays because doctors kept referring me to different doctors until someone finally recognized the lupis symptoms.
I am not lazy, I try hard to make ends meet. I would be eternally grateful for any contribution. Money, advice, a few kind words.. Anything. I would love to be able to be a normal 24 year old, more than anything.
