My little dog recently suffered with vertigo, i took him to our local vet & they flushed out his ears but while they were doing it discovered a tumour in his ear canal. He was referred to a specialist to have m.r.i scan & inner ear removal.The specialist vets also advised us to have his larynx operated on at the same time, so we took their advice. The ear operation went well but throat op caused problems & now our fit little dog has been left with a nasty cough for life that needs to be controlled with medication. We expected the pet insurance we had to pay for the treatment but as the tumour turned out to be a polyp he is not covered as he was prescribed ear drops for an infection 3 yrs ago.So now i have put a £6000 vet bill on my credit card that i am struggling to pay off. Any help would be greatly apprieciated Thank you

Hi everyone,

I am a seventeen year old aspiring filmmaker and TV production specialist currently applying to several of the best universities in London in hope that in a year I will be able to study at the Met Film School. All my life as a child I remember loving to do videos and edit them - filmmaking was always my dream job. My grades are fantastic, so I know I will definitely get in. The tuition fees alone will be $30,000 a year, and I will also need to pay for living costs and accommodation. This is very difficult for my parents to afford because I also have a little sister growing up that they need to pay for.

One more thing: when I apply, I must provide a portfolio of my works, but I haven't got any works because I don't have the money to buy myself a proper camera. A good camera with all the equipment required to go with it costs at least $1,500, and I don't have that money.

Please, if everyone just helps with a dollar or two, I'll be able to afford good equipment, a good education, a fantastic future, and thus yet another child's dreams will be fulfilled.

Thank you.

Hi! I am a 29 year old woman who has some dissablities and some major medical bills. I have had a hard life medically speaking in the last several years but I won't bore you with all of the details. Right now I need $1,000.00 immediatly so that I can pay off some of my debts so that I can continue to see some of the specialist doctors that I see. I am on medicaid and madicare but since the decline in the amount of help with our government health system, there are bills that I just can not pay. I never thought that I would have to do this, but I am desperate. I have nothing to offer in return, but I need the help desperatly. Anything you can do at all would be a huge help! Thank you!

I’ve never asked for any kind of help before, and certainly not from people that I have never met! But my situation has become so desperate that I really do need help.
I have, for the last 15 years, struggled to make ends meet, following periods of ill-health, bad luck and catastrophic decision making. My circumstances are now very desperate indeed, and have even considered suicide.
In 1997 I suffered from a period of depression, that became so severe that I was forced to give up my job, and borrowed money to cover my mortgage and keep my house. Unfortunately the repayments on this ever increasing debt snowballed, and I found myself unable to meet my mortgage and household bills. I had ploughed my life savings into the home, and lost it all.
In 2006 I was approached by a friend, who was concerned for my financial circumstances, and suggested that we buy an old property, renovate it and sell it for a profit. I was desperate to make some money, and trusted my friend. I would refer you to full details of this in my Beg, as the project ended in complete failure having been ripped off by an unscrupulous builder. Work that should have taken 3 months took in excess of 9, and I ended up carrying out all the work myself. I regularly worked at the house from the early hours until well past midnight. The long hours left me exhausted, and in October 2008 I had a breakdown. I simply couldn’t carry on, and collapsed at work. My employer at the time was an unforgiving and vindictive man, and he said that I would be suspended if my work didn’t improve. I was afraid that I would lose my job, and under considerable psychological pressure from my employer I was forced to resign.
Following the failed business venture, which had plunged me into further debt, my breakdown and subsequent loss of my job, I simply couldn’t cope and pushed me into a long period of depression that became so severe that I planned to take my life. At the time I was so ill that I was unable to hold down a job, and this simply added to my woes - whilst out of work and undergoing intensive counselling I borrowed further. By the end of 2009 I was £15,000 ($23,250) in debt. I desperately want to rebuild my life now, but it is difficult to do so when I am saddled with a debt that is crippling me. Between 2009 and December 2010 my debt increased - there is no answer to it, and I will never ever me able to clear the £18,000 ($27,900) that I now owe. It is a debt that cripples me and prevents me from having a normal, happy life. I am 50 in February 2012, but have no future. I am tired of being worried, stressed, unable to sleep, and being depressed. Please, please help me start my life all over again. Please read my full story, and contact me if you have any questions. Thank you.

Hi, Im Rosa. Im 32, I work full time and live at home so that I can take care of my elderly parents. I have 2 jobs, 1 fulltime (as a secretary) and 1 part-time afterhours work cleaning offices. I believe that we are all responsible for taking care of ourselves and our families. Ive never done this before.

I am raising funds for a human hair natural wig specifically made for Alopecia sufferers. Its a specialty product and very expensive ($700-$900 start price). I am going for the graduated chin length bob style as the longer styles are so expensive.

Every dollar will go towards this, and every dollar counts, please dont feel your contribution wont matter. As someone who budgets my wage down to the last $25 dollars each week, every dollar counts.

I suffer from Alopecia which is unexplained hair loss. I have had this condition for 5 years and it has gradually gotten worse. I have cut my hair very short to minimise fallout, and been to countless doctors and tried every drug and product on the market – all without success. In fact I am paying off a $3000 credit card bill which I spent seeing every specialist I could.

I find going bald at my age humiliating and embarrassing. I work fulltime so its important that I look my best, but thats very hard when you have lost over 45% hair mass. Its inevitable that I will be completely bald except for the back zone which I will probably shave to wear the wig.

Please help me if you can. I sincerely appreciated it.

My name is Melanie. I am a single mother of three children, one of which has severe autism and another with a suspected learning disabilty. I have recently become unemployed. I am a special education teacher with a Masters degree and lots of experience with children with and without exceptionalities. My friend, who has an Educational Specialist degree and retired special education teacher, and I would like to start a consultation business for parents and children with and without exceptionalities that need help experiencing success. We would like to provide tutoring, advocacy, and in home services at a very low cost to parents. Please help us to start this business and help these children who are in need of assistance.

I've decided to try and get help through donations http://www.giveforward.com/unbreakmyheart and funding http://unbreakmyheart2011.blogspot.com/from outside sources since every doctor I've seen in 2 years agree that I need the leads to my ICD (defibrillator) replaced; but shuffle me back to the original doctor and wash their hands of me.

I'm raising funds for ICD replacement surgery, to go see a HOCM specialist (Dr. Craig Asher) at Cleveland Clinic in S. Florida and to have advanced testing through Vanderbilt Autonomic Center in Tennessee.

I don't want to admit I need help; I've always been a strong, independent person who took care of everything and everyone. In August 2009, my whole world changed. After my procedure, I applied for disability and was turned down twice and had to hire an attorney. I went from being "super" mom, wife & friend and care taker of an Autistic son to being the one who had to be taken care of.

So how did I get to the point I have to ask others for help? Shortly before Father's Day 2009, I fell and broke my foot. When it didn't heal, I went to my primary with a broken foot and came out with a broken heart. After the shock wore off from the doctor telling me that I was going to die if I didn't have valve surgery; I started asking questions.

I didn't quite believe him and thought he was over reacting when he told me I was going to die because I walked and ran 3-5 times weekly and even did strenuous yard work. I felt fine and have 4 children aged 9-26 and kept up with them and stayed very active in things they did; but I was a ticking time bomb just waiting for the right time for my heart to stop.

He sent me to several specialists who said I had nothing really wrong, just some mild valve problems associated with aging; which was a huge relief. Everything seemed normal except my EKG's; they showed I had a huge amount of PVC's (premature ventricular contractions) roughly 50,000 “extra” heartbeats daily.

My heart didn't really beat fully; it only quivered like a bowl of jello day in day out. The problem with it beating like this is, the heart becomes very ineffective at pumping and your cardiac output drops and heart muscle damage can occur.

The cardiologist and electrophysiologist I saw did extensive testing and recommended more testing in the hospital. I went in for a sleep study, Tilt table test and EP Study with Ablation. The sleep study revealed I had moderately severe sleep apnea and my oxygen goes from 99% down to 73% at night making it very dangerous for me when I sleep.

The tilt table test was the first inkling that something dangerous was going on inside. I fainted and had no palpable pulse; which is a very rare thing to happen. I was diagnosed with Dysautonomia - Neurocardiogenic Syncope and Orthostatic Intolerance.
I then had an ablation to burn the extra pathways in my heart and get rid of the pvc's I was living with daily. I was told this would be a relatively easy process and given a 95% success rate to get rid of the extra beats completely but it never crossed my mind that anything would happen.

What preliminary tests failed to show, is the pattern and origin of my arrhythmias were in a very dangerous spot to ablate - the RV Apex – in the bottom thin underside of the heart.

During the EP Study, I went into cardiac arrest and my heart stopped completely with no rhythm they could shock (Asystole), some how it started again for a few minutes but then stopped again. They were able to shock me back to normal sinus rhythm and luckily, the third time it stopped; it restarted on it's own so I didn't have to be shocked again.

I was diagnosed with Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia; a very dangerous, life threatening arrhythmia. I stayed in the hospital for 4 days trying to find a cause and to be prepped for an ICD (implantable cardiac defibrillator).

It took a cardiac catherization to finally find the problem and to show I had HOCM (obstructive Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy) and internal high pressures in my valves.

My regular EP had to go out of town after the first procedure, so his partner had to do the implant; he wasn't as skilled as my regular dr and botched the lead implants.

When they checked the leads the next day before releasing me, they found a problem with the lead placement but the dr said it was "ok" and sent me home. Since then, I've had nothing but problems with the unit and been told by several other EP's I need to have the leads replaced and the ICD could be causing part of my problems.

Doctors think my other problems are related to HOCM (obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy) and Autonomic nervous system failure and when I faint, my heart stops briefly causing damage each time this happens.

After the procedure, my body started failing from the damage it sustained the 4 times my heart stopped. My original cardiologist told me I would be in a wheel chair and totally dependent on others for everything by the time I'm 50; which is daunting because in March I'll be 45 and I can't deny the facts - my body is failing.

I was put on 10,000g sodium daily, water/fluid loading, Midodrine (insurance won't cover it $312 - 30 day supply), Propanolol, Pantoprazole, pain meds, suppression hose and binders as well as having to stay supine the majority of the day - which caused my heart failure to worsen and my EF (ejection fraction) to go down.

Nothing the doctor's have tried has helped, I still faint and my heart stops on a daily basis and I never know from one day to the next if something is going to trigger fluid build up and I have an acute attack.

In June 2011 I fainted falling into the side of my tiled tub, lacerating the side of my head in the process, severely sprained my neck and suffered a concussion. After that episode, I became a bit more cautious with every move I make because the dr found declining neurological functioning and mild brain damage; he said any more falls could lead to permanent major brain damage.

With so many previous medical bills and co-pays, I can't afford the 20% co-insurance to have my ICD replaced and Mayo Clinic wants a $5,000 deposit up front even with insurance. My ICD alone is $125,000, leads another $30,000 and then there's the doctor and hospital fees; which I won't know the cost until the procedure is done.

Each heart rhythm specialist and cardiologist I see tell me there is nothing more they can do after going over my history and treatments; I have a long hard fight to go and I have to just be thankful each day I'm alive. Some days I'm really glad I made it through, other days when the problems and pain take over; I wish the dr's had let me die.

I developed PTSD after the procedure, panic disorder and extreme agoraphobia. I went into such a deep depression over my health issues, I was afraid I would never see the lighter side of things again. I finally went to see a psychologist who prescribed Lamictal and diagnosed me with Bi-Polar disorder which has helped greatly but I still struggle on a daily basis.

One day we were just the “normal” every day family and the toughest thing we had to deal with is a child with Autism. Then; our whole lives changed in an instant we were dealing with mounting medical bills, expensive prescriptions, tests, appointments, loss of income and dealing with the possibility of death on a daily basis.

You just never know what the day may bring, so keep those you love close to you and never take one second for granted.
From the bottom of my heart thank you - even if it's support to say hey; I'm here if you need to talk or I know how you're feeling.

Hello my name is charles shephard and Im a Iraq vet with severe PTSD and bipolar disorder. I have had a very hard life since coming back from Iraq. When I came back from Iraq they didn't send me to a mental health specialist. I'm fighting the VA right now for disability. They are telling me that I need to get a lawyer and get ALL my paper work together showing that I have PTSD and Bipolar because of the Army. I need help with paying a lawyer to help me with my case. My doctors already said I can NOT work at all. I have a severe mental condition that keeps me from working. The Army messed me up in the head. And I didn't even know what PTSD was until 2 years ago. The WHOLE military gets tested for any type of mental conditions that they get while serving over seas. Back in 2003 they did not. This is there fault and they wont help me with a lawyer. I need at least 500 dollars for a good lawyer. Anyone that can would be great. I hate staying home every day in fear because I can not handle seeing anyone else but my wife. I have flash backs all the time and I really don't want to live in fear of the outside work. Any help would be appropriated.

Hi

Since birth my son has had many difficulties and spent nearly half his life in hospital.
Finally in September last year he was diagnosed with an extremely rare metabolic disorder.
The specialists here are doing there best to try and help but have always been honest with us and said they really don't know much about the condition and everything we try is trial and error.
My son has now started to go down hill losing 5kgs in 3 months. He has always been small but now only weighs 11.1kg and 109cm tall.
We really need to take him to colorado USA to see a specialist there that can hopefully treat him so he can live a normal life. At this stage they have said that unless he gets treatment they don't know how long he will live.
I really wish I could afford to take him now but with 5 children to care for finances are very tight.
Please if anyone can help in any way even if it is only $1 it would be muchly appreciated.

Please hit the donate button below that goes straight to my paypal account.

PLEASE HELP KEEP US TOGETHER AS A FAMILY I BEG YOU

I am 32 years old and was born with Spina Bifida ( a hole in my spine). In the past 2 years I have been dealing with severe pain and loss of motor function, the cure is surgery. There are many costs involved for medical tests, visits to specialists and long drives each time (70 miles each way from my hometown). I do have medicare insurance but I make $16 too much to qualify for the States medicade program, this means the co-pays are all on me. For MRI's and CT they are $150 each, specialist visits are $40 each and to stay in the hospital it's $225 and I need to stay in for 5 days. I do alot for my community I am the President of a Non profit that helps the elderly and disabled get to the doctor, grocery store and pharmacy. I also am a volunteer for another Non Profit that helps people with mental illness. I have friends who set up a special account to help with my co-pays and this is where all this money is going. If you should have any questions about my story you can always contact me at vicap.boardmember79@gmail.com I thank you in advance for helping any amount will help.

I am a handyman/ home improvement specialist who has not been able to find paying work for over 3 years thanks to the deplorable real estate market caused by the greedy banks who screwed this country. I went from earning a good living at about 50K per year and reduced down to washing dishes in a Chinese restaurant for $100.00 a week just to pay for keeping food on the table. My wife is now about to lose her home and we have not able to find work with NO unemployment or other benefits coming in. She was able to be approved for a load modification to a payment that she can afford but needs to come up with $3,500.00 to pay the bank. I accidentally found Begslist and am posting here hoping to find goodhearted people who would be willing to help.

Hello, my family and I are in desperate need of financial assistance. We have been going through a storm of rain these past couple of months. I've always heard the saying when it rains it pours, but never ever thought it could get this bad or continue on this long.It started with my husband having a tumor in his throat, the next week I was told I was over paid financial aid and had to pay back a very substantial amount of money. Week after that our daughter shattered her elbow, I stepped on a nail and had to go to the ER, following week on a trip to a Dr.s appointment out of town our vehicle broke down nearly 200 miles away, had to have it towed at 4 dollars per mile. And they charged us an arm and a leg for a simple simple repair. My husband never got to his appointment. Medical expenses are just breaking us this year, we do not have medicaid and everytime we see a dr we have to pay a copayment that is ridiculous. Especially ER and specialist visits. Our bank account was also hacked into by someone who had our checking account number, so our account was locked. During that time several checks that had been sent out to pay bills came back NSF. So things keep adding up and adding up. 2 weeks ago I was diagnosed with an ectopic pregnancy, which was a complete shock because my tubes are tied! The medical care for this treatment is very expensive. It just seems as soon as we catch up or get paid, everything is gone plus we are still in the negative. We just cant catch a break. We are extremely faithful people...but at the moment I just can't seem to understand why this keeps happening? Why can't we catch a break. These are only the major things that have been happening...there are so many in betweens. Now we are about 1500 to 2000 dollars behind. This all started in June and every month we say to ourselves it will be better next month and so on and so on. Well, so far it seems as if we are on a downward spiral. We are always the couple who people can come to for help, the couple who seeks out those in need and offers our help. Whether it be financial or spiritual or just a helping hand. And now, we are going through the roughest times we have ever had to endure, and unfortunately we have no one to help us in this time of hardship. We are grateful for all that we have and know that we are beyond blessed, sadly though you cannot feed and house a family when you have absolutely no money. I know that things could be worse. We just need a little help getting back on our feet. Just to catch up. Once we can catch up we will be back in business and will definitely pay it forward. Sorry for the long vent, and I am so ashamed of having to post this on here. There is just no other options, we have exhausted everything we have. If there is any possible way you may be able to help us, we would appreciate it beyond measure. Thank you for your time.

My name is Clarence Tracy I’m 24 and live in FL. I got hurt at work after a few 2 months they finally got me to a specialist. After a few moments of talking to him and he taking a quick look at my injury. He told me to get some more test and sent me on my way. He didn’t give me any paper work and I went home. I was in so much pain that I wasn’t thinking right at the time. I also had medical transport waiting for me. I get home and am waiting for an email form the workers comp to get my apt. The email doesn’t come I see that I also didn’t get a workers comp check. So I emailed my lawyer and I didn’t get a response so I got on the phone Google Voice because we don’t have a phone. I called workers comp and talked to the guy. He told me that the doctor released me on full duty. I said okay so, and told him that i had apts to go to and he said. The doctor didn’t send any request for that, So i have the feeling that they are screwing with me. I’m still hurt the pain hasn’t gone a way. I don’t know what this doctor is thinking. I have asked for a new doctor 3 weeks ago. No answer back!, I also have tried to get back to work but they are giving me the runaround “O well i have to talk to this person and this person has to talk to this person” and so on. I am now not getting any workers comp checks no medical and no work. The law firm that i have my lawyer threw is a really good for worker comp cases. I just cant get a hold of my lawyer. Not for a lack of trying mind you, so here I am I have 2 step kids and a wife. She is trying to get a job but its hard. She was a stay at home mom when i was working. We get 117 a week for children support but that is not close to half our bills. We have $100 electric $40Gas and $650rent, we have a $47 internet bill but that is so we can have a phone and able to try and find help/ talk to my lawyer and worker comp. I am at the end of my rope I don’t know what we are going to do and I’m really depressed about the money and not being able to do every thing that i could before I got hurt, and still no pain meds. to deal with the pain I’m taking aspren right now but I’m on the last few pills. I have started to sell off my things. I really need help I don’t know what to do or what the out come of this is going to be. I just don’t feel like this is worth it any more and if I cant pay for my kids to have a good life then what worth am I? I just want to ask if you would help me out any thing will help for 1cent to what ever We have set up a donation page for us please consider donating what ever you can. we will send you what ever info that you want to show you that we are real and not a scam Please take this to hard and consider if not for me and my wife for our kids.

Dear friends, today I am in desperate need of help. I have no other options and am really hoping that someone will give a look at my story and will consider helping in any way they can.

I am currently deployed, before deployment I ran into a few problems with backed up loans and credit card debts. A couple of these organizations notified my Commander; now the military is taking a good amount of my paycheck and forcing me to pay off these debts. This leaves me with net pay of around $500.00 per month. With this my wife cannot pay all the bills or take our kids out for nice times. Lucky housing is free but we had to disconnect phone and internet. This is my first deployment and I’m so stressed not knowing what the future brings.

I’ve tried getting help from the military but they need to stick strictly to their regulations. I have had classes on how to live with less but right now I cannot live at all until I know my family will be ok. I’m so depressed wishing I could go home to give a hug and let them know all will be ok.

I appreciate any help I can get. Thanks for reading -Specialist G

I am truly ashamed that I have to beg for help. That being said I do not know where else to turn for help. I am praying that there really are people who care enough to help others who are suffering.

I have been a loyal and faithful wife for 15 years. I've been with the same man for more than half of my life, as I was married very young. We have a 14 year old son and a 10 month old daughter. I would do anything for my family and I have tried for years to keep our family together. All I can say now is that enough is enough. My husband is diagnosed as a paranoid schizophrenic. It has been extremely difficult dealing with his illness, but now it has become impossible. I've put up with him cheating on me, lying to me, him having alcohol problems, losing his jobs, his controlling behavior etc.. etc.. His illness causes him to believe that everyone is out to get him. He believes his home is bugged by the government as well as his phone. He believes they are tracking him in his vehicle. He believes he gets messages from God through the television and radio stations. He is see's and hears things that are not there. Many times he won't have a normal conversation with me unless we go outside and he runs the lawn mower so no one can listen in! I have tried to get him help and he's been hospitalized and medicated, but it does not help all his symptoms. I know that when your spouse is ill you should stay and take care of them, but I just cannot continue living this way. He is medicated at this time, so he isn't hallucinating. What he is, is extremely controlling. He moved us out of the apartment we were living in after my mother died last year. He moved us in with his mother, who has always disliked me. She treats me horribly. He stays gone all of the time and I am stuck here living in a garage. He has the only vehicle and he controls all of the money. We live in the middle of nowhere so I can't even walk to a gas station. He has alienated me from my friends and my family has all passed away now. All I have besides him is my two children. I would love to be able to work outside the home, but its impossible to do so without a vehicle and childcare. He knows this and just will not allow it.
My only hope is that enough people will understand what I am going through and have pity on my children and myself. All I wish to do is obtain enough money to get on my feet and get out of here. I will then gladly work as I was a Medical Billing Specialist. I will take care of my children and myself.

What I really need to do is move my children and myself into an apartment which runs on the bus line. This way I will be able to take the bus to work each day. After some time I will be able to save enough money to purchase a decent used car.

In my area a two bedroom apartment starts at $550 per month and a 3 bedroom apartment starts at $775 per month. Before I can move I need first and last months rent ($1550 max). $150 for Electricity Deposit. I am estimating that I would need about $500 to pay for a U-haul truck and a couple of guys to help move me in. I also feel that I should not move until I have my next months rent, grocery money and a little extra for miscellaneous expenses ($1275). So, it looks like as soon as I can come up with approximately $3500 my nightmare will finally end!

The good news is that I do have an old co-worker who is in charge of hiring at a medical billing office in my area. She is holding a position open for me in which I will earn $600 gross each week. I know its not much, but I should be able to manage on my own as long as I budget wisely. I should also be able to receive child support payments for my two children at some point in the future.

If you have the means to help my children and myself I plead with you to do so. You would be dramatically changing the lives of three people in a very positive way. I promise that I will never forget any help that I receive and as soon as I am in the position to do so I will pay it forward.

Thank you in advance for considering my request for help.

I'll get to the point. I need $2000 so that I can buy a reliable vehicle. I lost my job of 10 years, where I was making $72,500 a year. Along with it, I lost my beautiful home and my car was repossessed. I am now starting to get back onto my feet with some contract work that I am doing as a Multimedia Specialist (graphic & web design, video-editing, 3D animation), but a dependable vehicle would allow me to take on contracts that I normally wouldn't be able to accept. All help will be greatly appreciated and I will offer to create or optimize any images or small media project that you need done. Thank you very much for any help that you offer.

I really need help. I have tried all the at home businesses I could find (all charge money or you have to pay to earn money), I have tried getting grants, donating plasma-which I can't do because of my blood pressure. I've tried everything. In september of last year I lost my job and I have barely been scraping by since on food stamps and my husband's social security disability income. I am 24 years old. I have arthritis and scoliosis as well as bad knees and constant migraines. My teeth are constantly hurting and in bad condition since I can't afford to go to the dentist and haven't been able to for years. I need help. Any money you could donate would help at least get me through with paying my rent and bills and for food. I really need to go to the dentist and my husband, who has a rare eye disease needs to go to an eye specialist before he starts going blind. Please find it in your heart to help me. Thank you.

Please visit our page listed above to help Cody!

Our little Cody has not been well. Since he was just a month or so old he has had a problem choking when he eats. Around the time that he was eight months old we noticed he was having these choking episodes with much more frequency and they were becoming more severe. It got to the point where we were afraid to even give him a bottle without having the phone ready to call 911!

We took him to his doctor, who suggested we see a feeding specialist. And so began our journey.....

Right away Rosie (the specialist) noticed that Cody had trouble moving his tongue and chewing food. He tended to rush when he ate and that caused even more choking, but he was choking on everything- even just water. After a horrifying episode during one of his sessions, in which Cody choked on a piece of bread and turned blue, Rosie and Dr. Pepper (Cody's doctor) decided it was time for a Swallow Study.

During the study our little Cody enjoyed every last bit of barium as we watched him mash up food and try to swallow it. The speech therapist who was monitoring the test noticed that Cody's esophagus didn't seem to be moving quite right, he rarely chewed and had a lot of acid reflux going on. Aside from those observations, Cody had Oral Dysphagia as well. Those findings led us to an Upper GI Study that ruled out some really bad stuff, but Cody started having new symptoms. He was having difficulty breathing and had to be on nebulizer treatments, was increasingly grumpy, was gassy and had a very full looking belly that hurt so badly sometimes that he couldn't give us hugs. It wasn't long until he slowed down on his eating and Dr. Pepper decided it was time for a trip to Denver Children's Hospital.

In Denver Cody met a Pediatric Gastroenterologist and Pulmonary doctor who read his records and checked him in for several more tests. An Endoscopy and a Broncoscopy turned up a very nice looking esophagus (even the biopsies looked good!) but some pretty bad asthma. They placed a tube in his nose for another test called a PH Impedence Study to measure what was coming back up form the stomach and during which times it was happening. This was all very hard on our tiny little man. He had a horrible reaction to the anethesia which forced him to have to be hooked up to monitors. Anyone who knows our Cody knows what a busy little guy he is!

The results were confusing, though, because Cody had been on a medication that was supposed to help with motility and we knew it did SOMETHING for him- but with his great looking esophagus we weren't sure what it was helping with. If his esophagus was moving fine, why did a drug that was supposed to help it move make him feel a little better? The doctors decided to do a Gastric Emptying Study as well. Cody was NOT happy because he couldn't eat for yet another day. If you know our Cody- you know he loves to eat!

The next day we did the study and it didn't take long to get the results. In the time it takes the average stomach to empty, Cody's stomach had only emptied 7% of it's contents. The medication had been helping his little belly move. Unfortunately, it has some nasty side effects and he can't go back on it. They are currently trying him on a low dose of Erythromycin, which is the last medication available to treat Gastroparesis (Delayed Gastric Emptying), according to our medical team.

We soon got the results of the tube they placed in his nose, as well. Cody has a pretty big reflux problem, too. Since his belly is so slow to empty, his acid has no place to go but up. No wonder he is so grumpy. The constant flow of acid is also a huge trigger for the breathing problems he is having. They are now trying him on both Zantac and Prevacid- both drugs that have not worked well alone, but we are praying they will work better together.

We are trying hard to give Cody small meals throughout the day and to incorporate all the nutrients he needs, but its hard. With the delayed emptying we are supposed to avoid high fat and high fiber foods. We already have to avoid eggs, dairy, soy, berries and nuts due to allergies, so you can imagine what a challenge we have on our hands!

Cody's GI doctors have recomended 2-3 surgeries, including a feeding tube. Gastroparesis is a Dysmotility Disorder. There is a small chance he could outgrow this and there is also a small chance it is actually caused by something treatable- although in 60% of the cases there is no known cause.

In order to fully understand Cody's condition, why he has it and what all the options are, as well as how to care for him properly- we need to take him to Columbus, Ohio to see one of the very few Dysmotility Specialists in the country. We have no idea how long we'll have to be there or how much of this trip will come out of our pockets. Cody's insurance does not cover any travel expenses and will likely not cover any repeat testing he may need. He is currently on a modified diet and they don't cover the costs of any of that, either.


We are asking that our friends, family and anyone who is able come together to help us- both financially and spiritually. We need the finances to get us there and keep us going even when we can't work due to surgery or whatever may come; and we need your prayers and support to keep us strong as we try to manage this difficult and unfamiliar situation. We want so badly for our baby to feel better- he has brought us so much joy and is truely our little sunshine!

Thank you all so much for taking the time to read our story and for doing what you can!

I met the love of my life about 6 months ago...everything has been great in that respect, already engaged to her. She pulled me back from a severe depression and alcholism, I was suicidal. She came with a bunch of baggage herself, she was molested by her step-dad over a 2 year span(16-18), and went to jail for less than a year and when he got out, her mother stays with him, and lives in her mothers house. This was a month after we started dating. I'm living with my parents while working for peanuts, and I move her in with the consent of my parents.

After 6 months, we love each other very much, and my main purpose is to try and get her psychiatric help, cause granted the molestation made her very unstable, but her mother choosing to stay with the man who molested her has drivin her into deep depression...I'm working a lot just to support us and try and build a life, maybe get a place on our own in the future, but I need to be able to get her at least some sessions with a psychologist or a therapist...something. I cannot solve her issues, I love her, she loves me, I just want to be with her and have her atleast get some kind of help so she can move on and we can live our lives out together in happiness. Anything someone could give would be great, in addition to me saving, I can get 3 sessions with a local specialist at 1,500 dollars. I'm not asking for any specifics, I'm just barely getting anywhere with that goal, so I'm asking for somebody with even a penny to spare, help. I love her, I don't want to see her commit suicide or hurt herself from lack of proper care, but I don't wanna lose her to a mental facility. She is my heart and soul...

Thank you for your time...
