An amazing wish has just been granted. A company called Every Kid Mobility has just offered to give a $2000 Trike to the brother of one of our members. Member hannahlilyben posted a wish for her 15 year old brother who has Down Syndrome. He does not have the coordination to ride a regular bike, but could use a specially built bike suited for his purpose. One of our incredible Wish Ambassador's took the time and energy to contact companies that could make this dream a reality. The only requirement the company is requesting is for us to pay the shipping cost of $350. We estimate that we will need to raise around $380 to cover paypal and credit card fees. We are adding the Foundations paypal to their wish so your donations can be used for tax-exempt purposes. We are calling all the angels to help us reach our goals.
Gunner Gillespie is a 7yr. old little boy with an inoperable tumor on his brain stem. He has had all the radiation a person can have in a lifetime and there are only experimental drug options now. The family is currently in Arizona at the Envita clinic where the insurance company won't pay since it is not fda approved. Being from Kentucky, they have had to rent a condo, pay for the clinic and go to the whole food stores to purchase food for Gunner as he is to have no sugar or chemicals in his foods that he eats.
I run a project that I started in college, called OPERATION RETURN THE FAVOR. This project was put into place to help get together the necessities needed by single soldiers returning back to the base barracks AFTER returning from deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan.I was a member of Phi Theta Kappa honors society at Butler Community College in El Dorado,KS when I started this project.
My little sister has some appointments in St Louis, Mo and that is a long drive (about 6 hr drive) They will be leaving tomorrow and I am asking for just a little help with some gas money. Even if it is only some change or a dollar or two would be good, atleast it would help with some.
****THIS WISH HAS BEEN VERIFIED BY ADMIN. The wisher supplied a Driver License, Credit Card Bill, SSI statement and the Medical Center Bill****
My sister, is one of my heroes. She has been through it all. She was 15 when she had her son. Her and the father worked hard to over-come alot to stay together and raise a wonderful son. She got blessed again many years later with another son. Now she has a 15 year old and a 2 year old. She is a great mom, sister, wife, and teacher. Her and her husband are stil together after all these years. ( true love does exist) Dispite teenage pregnacy ,she went back to school, got her GED and then went to college.
The NJ Chapter will be manning an outdoor flea market table at the Berlin Farmer's Market this Sunday, August 3rd. We will be selling lots of children's clothing and a sundry of other items, and the best part is, all items will only cost $1. Money raised will go towards paying off the Pearl Harbor wish.
Today something happened that just blew me away. Not in a million years did I think that my 5 year old would do what he just did. Here is the story.....
This afternoon I took my kids to an event that was happening here for kids. It was in a park and everything was free for the kids. One of the things they had there was a drawing for 4 kids bikes. I put my kids names in because they wanted to but really didn't need the bikes as they already had ones that were only a few months old.
Since I was a little kid I've always been in love with Europe. My goal since I was younger is to go and start my life there. Well I had figured that when I graduated high school I would be able to go and start college there. MY problem occurred when I was in 8th grade. My dad had an aneurysm. After his surgery he was o.k. but he had an infection and had two strokes.
