I have tried and tried I no longer know what to do. I received sun burns on both arms and had tried to protect us. I am going through major heat stroke and trying to care for my family. Please help! This is a broken down list of what we need help with.

$140.00 Rent
$ 67.67 Power
$ 61.50 Cell phone
$75.00 for laundry
$ 120.00 for my brother’s dialysis medications
$400.00 Personal care for 5 people (my son, my brother, 2 of my daughters, and my-self) /Can accept things in care package email for a list of things.
$150.00 for fans
$200.00 for food would be awesome / can be sent in a care package or gift cards
$300.00 for my brothers food (renal diet)/ Can be sent in a care package (email for list of foods that are OK)

Even care packages sent by mail would be greatly appreciated.

I have 8 children biologically all together and can admit that with pride.
2 from my first marriage, both boys teenagers 15-16.
5 from my late boyfriend, 3 girls 2 boys ages 12-6. Their dad died on May 23, 2007
1 from a friend, a small male child 21 months now.

I love all my kids but not all currently live with me due to finances right now. And yes I am going to pay the price for the emotional part that will affect them due to this economy and my having to send them away.
I try my hardest but I cannot support them the way I used to and it breaks my heart.
Please help as I am now physically exhausted and spiritually drained.

This is what my kid brother has:
Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is a genetic disorder characterized by the growth of numerous cysts in the kidneys. The kidneys are two organs, each about the size of a fist, located in the upper part of a person's abdomen, toward the back. The kidneys filter wastes and extra fluid from the blood to form urine. They also regulate amounts of certain vital substances in the body. When cysts form in the kidneys, they are filled with fluid. PKD cysts can profoundly enlarge the kidneys while replacing much of the normal structure, resulting in reduced kidney function and leading to kidney failure.
When PKD causes kidneys to fail-which usually happens after many years-the patient requires dialysis or kidney transplantation. About one-half of people with the most common type of PKD progress to kidney failure, also called end-stage renal disease (ESRD).
PKD can also cause cysts in the liver and problems in other organs, such as blood vessels in the brain and heart. The number of cysts as well as the complications they cause help doctors distinguish PKD from the usually harmless "simple" cysts that often form in the kidneys in later years of life.

I have recently moved into my first home. The place is a fixer-upper that came with only the hot water heater, which unfortunately is not working. I need help with money to either fix or replace it. Please, anything you can give would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much and many blessings upon you!

Hi.

Thanks for taking the time to read my request. I'm 30 years old, still in college and living with my parents. I've made a lot of great accomplishments in my life with far less support than most people who make it this far. Of course, with that said I've also made plenty of mistakes.

I grew up with a single parent, and another parent who visited annually just to stir up emotions and make my life miserable. When I was 18, I decided to work really hard to lose weight so that I could join the US Air Force. I had a strict plan that I was going to follow to succeed in life.

Unfortunately my superiors in the USAF would not accommodate that plan to independence as they forced me to find my own way from the barracks to work (a 40 mi drive), so I had to immediately struggle to get my drivers licence and I had to buy a car on an Airman's paygrade.

My income wasn't enough to afford the car and gas and other living needs that I was expected to pay, so eventually I had to leave the Air Force before my term was up (under honorable conditions). I tried to work as a civilian. The transfer was tough and I was vastly uninformed about what to do and what my options were. I'm the first first generation college student of my extended family.

After some petty jobs that would each take more than 10 years to be able to earn enough to live independently, I finally found a nice nighttime custodian job that was at least simple enough for that kind of pay. I was the night time custodian, but I was also a guy to have on call at this retirement home where I worked. If people's toilets flooded or a nearly deaf resident left their tv on past quiet hours (once I could hear one through 3 floors!) I was the guy to send up to fix it.

Having my first satisfying job as a civilian, I was able to investigate community college during the day, so eventually I enrolled and tried taking a few classes while working full-time. College was my saving grace. I never felt like I belonged anywhere until I first started to take college courses in math, science, and philosophy. I found the tutoring lounge on campus, made a lot of friends there, and I spent many hours cramming and helping those in need.

This soon led to me finding financial aid, making arrangements with my parents (my mom and my stepfather) to let me go to school full-time while I lived with them, and putting in my 2 weeks notice at work to focus exclusively on school.

My counselors advised that I pick where I want to transfer to and then figure out the details of how to get there after I got accepted. I think this was bad advice. While I ended up choosing to transfer to a university that had my desired major, Biophysics, it was 60 miles away from where my parents lived. My car that I had bought when I was in the Air Force also eventually broke down from not being able to afford maintenance while I worked, and was towed away for being in the public street for too long.

Finally, I got accepted to UC San Diego to work towards a degree in Physics with a specialty in Biophysics. When it came time to transfer, I got as involved as I could on how and when I was supposed to receive the financial aid so that I could go get an apartment and everything, and my school kept telling me, "you should get it tomorrow" until about 2 weeks into my first quarter when I finally got the support.

Despite this rocky start, I managed to get into a good shape for myself, making my way slowly but surely through school. Learning a great deal. Eventually when I felt the struggle was too difficult, I changed my major to Neuroscience before I began my upper division coursework.

So, as I settled into my schooling and struggled with maintaining financial independence on financial aid, I managed to get myself into maintaining a great aquarium hobby, owned two great little kittens from a street cat program, led as president of a student organization for one year, and eventually I got married. I also carefully learned about the stock market and managed to make some great gains with money that I had invested from financial aid savings.

In 2010, my gains were over 100%. That amounted to $2000 doubling itself, but still, that says a lot about me as a trader. However, 6 months into my marriage, she said she wanted out, grabbed the car that we both paid into (most of the money was mine from stocks; $5500 worth), and refused to pay her share of 2 months rent. That happened in December of the year of 2010.

2011 was a difficult year for me. I fought hard to maintain things, especially my head, but it was tough. I lost 45 lbs from exercising regularly, made lots of new friends, and I got some volunteer work experience in a Neuroscience lab. But I just couldn't focus well enough to maintain my finances and my grades, so I had to drop out and live back with my parents.

Despite how tough it's been, not finding work, struggling with the ins and outs of the VA, and just needing a professional therapist to talk to and help me keep my head straight but never being able to get one, I've managed to recuperate well enough and learn a lot more about this bottom floor of society that I've been so desperately trying to escape my whole life.

I've gone looking for opportunity in every direction. I've tried changing my career goals, collecting recyclables, writing online, trying any online scheme that didn't include me forking out money to get it, imagining what I could write as a novel, tried to make money through playing video games, making goal after goal after goal for myself, but still just not being able to get just the right amount of money to put me back on my feet.

I'll be going back to school in April at the risk of having to do it as a homeless person if the VA doesn't pull through for me. They recently approved my 10% service connected disability status and now I need to jump over a few more hurdles to get my more significant service connected disabilities recognized. I'm also seeing what the vocational rehab people can do for me despite the bureaucratic issues that are stopping them from helping me all the way.

BTW, this whole time that I've gone through life with common lower class difficulties, I've been disabled with a number of small conditions that all add up to a hard time. I have lower back issues that the military has yet to own up to. Community college found also that I have a learning disability which makes some intellectual tasks show up as lower than average ability for me while the rest of my intellect is high enough to expect that I could easily get a Masters Degree or a PhD. My biggest difficulty in school is that they don't give me enough time to show them what I know or what I'm capable of.

From working with special needs students as a tutor, I have proven to myself that there is a major problem in the education system. Most teachers never simplify the material into a clear picture of what they want to teach. If you want someone to learn something, the last thing you should be fuzzy on is what it is exactly that you want them to learn. We can't all work like intuitive Jedi or sophisticated parrots.

If you help me out, here is a list of the priorities of what your money will go towards, in order of their priority If you would like to request that I spend your donation on a specific cause, please let me know:

1. A working cheap economic vehicle.
I need something that I can sleep in and that will take me wherever I need to go. Preferably something that can stow quite a few recyclables as well to pay for gas, but not an SUV or truck or van (Unless that's all that is cheap of course. Not likely but you never know.).
I'll aim for great gas mileage, but I'm thinking that I should attend some police car auctions to see what the cheapest deal I can find is. This car would make a great shelter for me while I return to my far away school.

2. Investing on the stock market.
Trust me, I know how to fish. If you want to send me a request for proof I'd be glad to compose some evidence of my finest moments as well as my worst to show you that I can do well for myself on the stock market, even during the recession. What I could really use right now, is a little bait. Trading is good money for me, but to make enough to make gains worth more than the commission cost (about $10), you need about $300-1000 per investment. $300 is more for the high risk lottery plays on the market. I even made a blog about it if you would like to see:
http://www.squidoo.com/TheYoungidealistEconomyBlog
If you are willing, we can arrange something personal so that you wont need to worry about me putting the money you offer at high risk and blow it all. Might even be able to arrange something where I could make money for you to prove myself before accepting your donation. Whatever the case, I know we'd have to make it a personal arrangement to satisfy the current laws.

3. Working towards paying my debts to my friends.
My friends have been really supportive through these hard times, though they are starving students themselves. To keep up my morale they've bought me food, given me a place to crash when they could, and even paid to have me join them at fun local events. I have some money that I've promised them back, and I plan on making due on those promises as soon as possible.

4. Paying off my debts with companies.
I've had times where I couldn't afford to pay for rent and had to leave, like when my wife left me to live with her parents. These issues follow me on my credit score and I would like to work towards removing them so that I can turn my life around.

5. Getting a good start towards paying off my student loans.
I know I won't be able to pay them off before I find a good career with my degree. I would just like to have something to start making some automatic payments with and put that part of my bad credit score behind me as well.

6. Buying a home.
My mom never owned a home. No offense meant to land lords out there, but I really think the rental system is way out of line. My mom was always a hard worker. Way better than me, yet she could never own a home because she didn't have the money. Meanwhile, people with money could live in great big houses for less than she even had to pay.
I want a house to own. Probably start with a condo and seek ways to improve it and flip a profit out of it. Then I want to keep building up money from housing until I can manage to build an apartment building.
If I could, I'd like to make an apartment building near a university that offers cheap housing using the Japanese capsule model or something even more economic and more comfortable.

7. Making an online tutoring site meant to offer free tutoring and tutoring for tips. Imagine a site (I have yet to know of one) where people can collect their resources on a class, much like they collect info on ratemyprofessor.com, but also seek help from others who are taking the class or who have taken the class. Donors like you can offer money to tutors who post their notes and stories on the site, alongside ratings from other students that they helped.
Some tutors can offer their rates for help, sell their notes online for cheap, or just offer their help whenever they can and ask to be tipped through paypal if someone likes their work. My hope is that such a site could help to put an end to sophistry in the college system once and for all, making education easy and affordable for everyone.

8. After I have everything I'm hoping for above, the sky is the limit. But I would prefer to put the extra money that I don't need to good uses. I would spread a little philanthropy around, give to others in need on this site and through other resources.
I'd also look to teach others how to fish. I think a great way for the economy to be fixed would be if philanthropists made some really good employee owned companies. Make the place pay for itself, skim a little off the top, and walk away knowing that you really were a job creator.
I think that everyone who is capable of work and who chooses to work deserves to have their own independent living situation. I know that we are a long way from that, but I tend to be an optimist. I would like to try and make the world a better place, if nothing else.

Aside form financial help, I'm interested in anything else that I could get that's useful. Advice, Neuroscience Career connections, work, hobby or volunteer work that can easily become lucrative, I'm really all ears. Thanks again for taking the time to read my request. I hope you find it in you to help me out, even get to know me if you'd like. Bet you $5000 I can make you laugh. Did I win? >;) it was worth a try anyway.

I am 22 years old I have a rare recurring tumor, Desmoid Tumor or a aggressive fibromatosis. I so far have had two removed. They are very aggressive and not many people, if any, know how to truly treat them. My last surgery my left chest wall was removed and replaced with metal gortex, two upper ribs and my left collar bone removed and a muscle rotated up to my breast area for cushioning. I am, or was, a cosmetologist but I just cannot do it anymore due to surgeries. I have been denied disability twice. My boyfriend of two years left me. I am struggling and feel hopeless. I have enrolled at community college but I do not receive financial aid. I feel like the more good I try doing the more I get burned or don't succeed. On top of everything my medical bills are sky high, credit is terrible, my teeth need so much work I am in consistent pain. I have an absess right now and to get just me out of pain and what needs to be done on my lower left teeth is 6500 all my teeths damaged getting fixed is estimated 27,659. It is one thing after another. I just spent the whole day in ER last friday because I had a miscarraige. Im emotionally ruined. I still am trying to keep trucking along but I don't know how strong I can stay. I fear I will lose my home and it is my ONLY sense of security. I don't even have my own car. hardly any clothes, I don't do anything activity wise becuase I save what I can. I really need help and guidance. I just don't know anymore :(

I have four wisdom teeth that need to be removed. The Last time I went to the dentist about Febuary last year he told me that there growing in sideways and that they need to be removed soon but he told me to wait to make surgry less painfull. Soon after I had been laid off and also lost my health insurence. I have found another job but It did not come with any benefits. Now my upper left wisdom tooth has broken though my gumline and has started to hurt really bad and I know it's only going to get worse in time. But I just don't have the money to do it off insurance as it's about 300$ per tooth so any help would be appreciated.

For years now i have been staring at medical bills that medicaid would not pay because at the time i was pregnant and they wouldnt cover me just things that pertained to the baby. I am already being garnished from my job for one of them. This week my 7 month old daughter got sick and was running a 102.3 fever. Took her to one hospital and they said ear infection. The next day her fever spiked to 104.3 and i took her to a different hospital. funny thing, no ear infection. she has an upper respitory infection. now, had the first hospital taken the time to take care of my daughter i wouldnt have to pay for 2 hospital bills, and everyone knows how expensive emergency room visits are. My husband and i both work full time, but these bills are breathing down are necks, and because of them we cant save up to buy a house, or even move to a bigger rental as we have 3 children in a 2 bedroom apartment. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much for listening. You can contact me at teastin20@gmail.com

My Wife and I are both disabled Americans. She has had a major back fusion and two knee replacements as well as some heart woes. I myself have just had my second major back surgery, I have an implantable Cardiac Defibrilator and one total knee replacement.
We are both on a very low income, myself on Social Security Disabilaty, she on School Employees Retirement Disabilaty benefits. We have a vehicle that is almost twenty years old and on its last legs.. I am certain you get many letters like this everyday but we really would like some kind of assistance. We would love to be able to move to Vermont where we can be near our children and Grandchildren as they grow and flourish into strong Americans ans be near our Parents as they live out thier golden years. I know we are asking a lot but if there is anything you can do to truly show your compassion , we will speak on every t.v. station, every radio station, make posters, whatever it takes. To show our thanks and support. We're begging you.
The state of Ohio in its infinite wisdom is considering stopping paying my Medicare part b and take away my medicaid because we, "make too much gross income" by the time we pay all our bills we have maybe 50.00 left to last an entire month.
My Wifes Information::::
I was Married to a very wonderful man for 31 years. He developed heart disease and diabetes. He fought valiently but finaly succomed to the medical problems. I became very sad and was almost at the brink of a mental breakdown. I did become involved with the local Greif Counseling service as this helped me to ease my burden a small amount. I began talking to this nice fellow on Pogo.com which is an online gaming site where one may play all sorts of games such as Solitare etc. We hit it off and began internet dating in August of 2008. We arranged to meet in November and upon viewing each other we knew the bond we had felt over the air was a real bond and Leo dropped to his knees and askeed me to Marry him. We married a week later in November of 2008 and have been together ever since. Since than we have both become quite medically burdened ourselves, Leo has a thing called Sudden Cardiac death Syndrome and has had to have had an Automatic Implantable Cardiac Defibrilator instaled recently. We both suffer from back woes and must seek care frequently. Now we do have a 1996 Chevy Blazer that runs when it feels like it, the airconditioner is broken and what with being in the Midwest is very hot to have to drive around with the windows down. A computer part that costs 1500.00 for the A.B.S. system is out and we just can not afford to fix it. We love the vehicle as it was my first ever fully owned vehicle from a bank loan in my life. If We appreciate everything we have and are greatful for both this site and for all the kindness of others. Please vote for us and we shall make certain to pay it forward with our own kindness and see to it that others are blessed as we are. Thank you for reading and for helping out anyway you can.
My Information::::
My Wife and I will be Married for three years on November 28th.We met in late July or early August of 2008. She had just lost her husband of 31 years. I was myself looking for a somewhat different lifestyle than I was in currently. I was living at home at over 40, disabled with a moderate spinal disease and more or less going nowhere. Debbie and I hit it off right away and we were engaged in October and Married in November. We each have been each others rock and best friend and companion. I have since went into the Ministry and have undertaken many courses towards helping others to live as good a life as possible. Debbie is a great personal loss counselor in her own right. I recently became a heart patient and have had to have an Automatic Implantable cardiac defibrilator installed in my upper chest which has a built in pace maker. All this at only the age of 49.Debbie has had to have undergone major back surgery herself and have screws and cages ut into her lower back. This makes us totaly disabled yet we both have a teriffic outlook on life and are always willing to help others. Life is what you make it, not a series of bad events that bring you down. We both appreciate each day given unto us and are so greatful for all our friends, family, and fellow searchers of lifes Grace. If we were chosen to receive a New SUV as we live in snowy Ohio and may move to new England to be closer to some family we would make certain that it was put to good use and everyone would know the generosity of others. I can only hope as this as well as the other stories here on this site may touch you a small amount and you shall favor us with kindness. God Bless Everyone. Thank You All. We are truly blessed to have such wonderful friends and supporters here. We appreciate everything people are doing and sending all the wonderful messages. God Bless You all.

I need to raise JUST $20 by 5 PM today so I can be able to afford my co-pay and medication for a very important doctor visit. I just spent money on school and have none until next payday, but will be tight then also. I need all the help I can get. I have a severe upper respiratory infection and I need to get medication.
Thank You. :)

Horrifying homeless situation in NYC. Recently homeless. I'm a highly educated middle class white person who is now in the homeless shelter system in NYC. Racism, hatred, horrifying. I have about $120 total left. I lost a front tooth and can't get a job in my old industry. I need to get out of this brutally uncompassionate city, and into a Christian community somewhere / anywhere. I have good experience on a farm/ranch – used to own one. Also a horse trainer / experienced rider. I'll work on a farm anywhere in the US for room and board, and hopefully can get day labor work via one of the illegal immigrant labor pools for cash to fix my tooth and get an automobile. All of this is due to divorce in an extremely anti-American foreign divorce court. I have 3 young girls whom I haven't been able to see in almost 2 years.

My request / beg: Please forward this to a Christian family farm / ranch owner who will take my labor in exchange for room and board. Any monetary donations are welcome...I'll use them for transportation to my new employer, and food to tide me over until I get there. I'm a serious, committed Christian, and would ideally love to be in a compassionate Christian environment for a few months. No drug, alcohol, emotional problems – ever. A very normal guy who looks like any clean normal guy from upper middle class suburbia...except for my tooth.

Is there anyone out there who will notice me, and have compassion? I can provide a solid reference from a homeless shelter. hopefulhomelesslionjudah@gmail.com

I'm currently a full time student/stay at home Mom, my husband is a 3 time Iraqi and Afghanistan Veteran who works for the department of Veterans affairs as a nurse. After years of saving and paying our bills on time and doing things "right" we bought our first home. We had three different inspections to make sure that everything was good and safe for our family. A few weeks ago my 9 month old son came down with a 103 fever a rash covering his body and an upper respiratory infection that wouldn't seem to get better. After some research I got the idea to search for mold in our house, and sure enough, I discovered that my whole basement was hiding black mold behind the wood paneling. My husband is a very handy, and we decided to take care of it ourselves. We bought the Hazmat suits and masks and bought the solution for washing the walls etc..etc.. So, long story short, when we went to clear out the closet we uncovered an unopened box of Asbestos Tile!! We opened it only to discover that it was covering the entire basement floor and enclosed back porch of our house. Needless to say, we soon realized this is out of our hands and we need to hire a professional. All of our efforts to come up with the money for this project have been dead ends, and in the meantime we can't even live in our house. We are all living in one bedroom at my Mother in Laws house, basically indefinitely until this is remediated. This is my last chance to come up with the money to make our house safe for my children. Please help us if you can.

I am medically disabled, and am able to squeak by on regular monthly expenses. But I am living in a 'fixer-upper' that has not been fixed.

1/2 of my flooring is ripped up due to mold. I can't replace it, so cracked concrete is what I have to walk on. The rest of the carpet is disgusting from what the prior owners did to it.

I cannot move, as my mortgage is really low.

It costs 10K to renovate one of these 30+ year old units (condo) (800 sq. feet) not including things like the A/C (also needs replacing) and the stove.

In the 6 years I have lived here I have managed to save enough to replace the water heater when it rusted out, and the disposal for the same reason.

Otherwise, if this were a rental unit and I had a landlord, he'd be a 'slum lord' as these are not proper living conditions for me and my precious dog.

I am a victim who was attacked my a stray dog while walking through my small town on Feb 10, 2011. I immediatley ran to a house to get help and these nice people drove me to the hospital, where I was treated for stitches to my face, along with several "rabies" shots because of the stray dog. I worried for my safety as well as for my health, so the Emergency physician ordered me to take these Rabies Immune Globul)shots. I recently received the bill. I was not expecting to see $9,581.52. Now I am really devastated. How does a victim of a dog attack not get any help? I have made several attempts contacting and consulting with attorneys to find out my rights. Because it was a "STRAY" dog and no one claims the dog, I have no other choice but to be responsible for this Emergency Bill. I would like to post the actual Physicians Bill and a picture of the scars to my face. I won't be able to afford Plastic Surgery, but it's needed. I can live with the scar to my face (12) stitches from under my eye to my upper lip. I just need some help with that Emergency Room Bill. I have taken on another job selling cosmetics to others, yet this still isn't enough. If you or anyone you know may have crossed paths with, that has been a victim of a serious dog bite to the face, you will understand my needs, However for those of you that this has never happend to, please have it in your heart to view the photos.

Thanking you in advance... ...for any size donation for these medical bills.

I'm 33, hard working and I pay my bills. I've been a productive member of society and care about my community. Thanks to other people who didn't pay their bills, lived beyond their means and allowed themselves to be foreclosed on...I can't get a home loan.

It's not because my credit score is bad or because I don't have a down payment, it's because I'm self employed. It appears I am a "high risk" in the eyes of the bank. It doesn't matter that I can show that I made a profit every year in a lousy economy.

So I've had to change my method of obtaining a home. I'm going to try and do in the old fashion way...pay cash. I just need to accumulate about $6,000. and I'm set. I'm not looking to buy a mansion. Just a simple starter home/fixer upper. My lease is up in July and I don't want to be stuck here another year (no, I won't break a lease).

Please help this hard working guy in Columbus, OH. I'll be sure to pay in forward in the future...I just need a little help getting the American dream.

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!

Help me be the kind of girl you like to pass when walking down the street. I am not an unattractive female, but I am over weight and have a few flaws I would like to...repair.
I am relatively healthy and looks are not the most important thing in the world and you could make a more traditional charitable contribution elsewhere, or you could say this is interesting and get a kick out of helping a young lady look her best.
I have never had plastic surgery before, and I am not interested in changing my overall appearance and creating a completely unnatural look for myself. I just want to improve some things and I cannot afford to do that without your financial contributions.
~I like my breasts, they are set high on my chest, nice and naturally round a very nice solid C cup, cute pert nipples, but I'm not 19 anymore and I would like a little lift nothing drastic no augmentation no reduction, just a lift.
~I like my face, I like my normal sized forehead, my nice not to thin not too thick eyebrows that feature a strong though not severe natural arch. I like my pretty and frequently complemented green eyes and their decent lashes that need only a coat of mascara to stand out, but I hate the furrows in my forehead, the crease in my brow and fear crow’s feet.
~My natural body shape leans toward the "hour glass figure" bigger breasts and butt than waist. However my shape seems to have gotten lost recently and no matter how much I change the foods I eat or the frequency that I eat them, I can never seem to lose more than 60 pounds :( and exercising helps me to feel great, but I really only firm up, I don't shrink. I am not looking to be a stick figure; I just want my nice natural shape back.
~I like my lips; someone once said to me, "you have Clara Bow lips" turns out Clara Bow was a silent film star. So my lips are beautiful and I worry about getting lines around them or losing their fullness, but I do not smoke and do not have any lines there yet. :)
I do not have kids, I am a good deal less than 40 and I enjoy outdoor activities. Help me keep the outdoors beautiful! ;)
F.Y.I.:
*The average cost of a breast lift varies from $3,500 to $6,000. Cost for anesthesia ranges from $1,000 to $1,300. The facility fee (or hospital fee) ranges from $500 to $1,500. The remaining cost is the surgeon's fee.
* The average cost of botox injections is around $450 - $500 per injection. Multiple injections are usually given at one time, so the cost can add up quickly.
*Portrait Plasma Skin regeneration (high energy, PSR3) is an exceptionally safe skin resurfacing modality when used by an experienced practitioner (it is somewhat technique dependent). Charge for a PSR3 can be $3500 and up, depending on the skin type. PSR1 treatments (low energy, multiple treatments) typically run $1500 for full-face treatment.
*Juvederm cost typically ranges between $800 and $1,300 per syringe, depending on the formula used and other factors. In some cases, a second syringe may be needed for a fully satisfactory outcome. Some practices may offer a reduced rate for the second syringe in these cases. ArteFill treatment now costs $1,000 per syringe. You may want to ask your doctor about payment plan options.
*Typically, Liposuction will cost an individual between USD $4,000 for 2 small areas and as much as USD $10,000 for 5 areas, but your Liposuction surgeon will have a more specific idea of the Liposuction cost after a consultation. On average, Liposuction in the U.S. costs $2,000 per body area treated. While the cost of the lower and mid body lift procedure generally ranges from $6,000 to $8,000, a full body lift typically costs $10,000 to $17,000, but can go up to $50,000 depending on the extent of treatment. The only way to determine the exact cost of lower or upper body lift surgery is to contact a plastic surgeon in your area for a full consultation.

I need to fix my truck and get drivers license. I needed a transmission kit over 6 years ago. My husband who was driving my truck (bought and paid before we got married) back and forth to work. It is 1995 S-10. We got married in 99. He never wanted to spend money to fix. He kept promising but he said we never had enough money but if he wants something he can always find some money or adds to our loan at the bank getting us deeper and deeper in debt. Now he just says my truck is junk. I took very good care of my truck. After we got married he acted like it was not even worth getting the oil changed. I did not know what a prison I was getting myselt into. Now is needs some other work from sitting around. The transmission kit was 120.00 6 years ago now 149.00. Needs belt it is 17.99, oil filter 16.99, air filter 11.59, spark plugs 2.09 each times 4, spark plug wires 15.00, upper hose 15.00 and lower hose 10.00, oil 3.30 quart parts guy at parts store said 9 or 10 but I thought only held 5..?? Also needs some tires but have not priced them. I have a friend who's son said will fix it. I would like to give him some money for gas and time. They live an hour away. He said do for free if I get parts.
I don't need to leave house much but don't like having to ask for rides.

I'm 20 years old and a junior in college currently. I'm getting a biology major, botany certificate, and chemistry minor and also hope to go on to graduate school. I really want to finish and get an undergraduate degree but I have a hard time paying rent and groceries. I do childcare a couple evenings here and there, but I find I don't have time to work outside of school this year (taking upper division courses like organic chemistry take up ALL my time). I'm very hard-working and get good grades (mostly As and some Bs). Any assistance, advice, etc would be greatly appreciated. Any monetary assistance would be spent on either tuition, textbooks, rent, or groceries; it would also be rewarded with some thank you gift, dependent on your taste.
