Our campaign has come to an end for
2005.

keep the family in your prayers.

you one & all!

Would you like to contribute to
a draw for Christmas food baskets
for families who write in to us,
who are in need this
Christmas season?
On Dec 03/05 we will draw names
on who gets a food basket from Hickory
Farms for example, or E.D.Foods,
the Cookie
Garden , MexGrocer,
Flying Noodle
& Almond
Plaza . We
have many other stores on our shopping page,
BUT, we
will also be sending Christmas Dinners to those who
don't want the extras, but, just the dinner. We do this with
our donations. Last year we also sent out Grocery Store Gift Certificates. We (you
& me) can pay for it. I thought maybe
$1., $2. $5., $50.. sent to my Paypal, or whatever
amount you would want to donate,we will
contribute as well of course. If we get enough
for a couple of food baskets, we
would draw for 2 or 3. I hope you find our idea
appealing, to help a family or two in need
this Christmas season. I think you know
me well enough, that we would never allow this to
be abused. Send thoughts &/OR donations
to: rpkdv@nf.aibn.com
This is our donation email
address. Donate to Paypal by

Let's give some of our needy families
a Christmas Dinner:)

#1 Please put
me on your list for the Christmas dinner.
My name is Mary` I have a heart condition,
and my Mother just had surgery she had part
of her right lung removed. I just
cannot afford a dinner for Christmas
for that fact. Is there some way
someone can help out with a gift card for food?
Thank you, Mary.

#5 Hi Patsy, Its
me again. First of all, I want to thank you for picking us last
year and we had a
very nice dinner. The past year has not
been any better, in fact it has gotten worse. My son will
be starting kidney dialysis soon because
his diabetes has caused him to be in kidney failure.
The last month his diabetes has been so
bad we had the rescue squad here 3 times at 500.00
a trip and he has no insurance. I still
have not been approved for disability and because of that
there is no heat for the house. We make
13.00 too much for energy assistance I know there
are families with little children that could
use the meal more than we could but i would like to
be considered. Oh if anyone
has any blankets or quilts or material that they have lying
around,
Im looking for some to make heavy curtains
for rmy windows to keep the cold out
Blessings to you kathie

#16 Dearest
Patsy,
I am writing this to you from the library, as we
no longer have internet service at home.
Unable to keep up with the bill from month to month,
we had to cancel.
And now it looks like we are going to lose our electric
unless we can work something out.
I'm at such a low state of mind over our circumstances,
and now with the holidays coming up,
my self esteem is taking a nosedive.
Four children and absolutely nothing for Christmas.
Brings tears to my eyes just thinking of what isn't
going to be lying under the tree this year,
especially for my 2 1/2 year old who is just now
beginning to learn about Santa.
I know that there are people in worse situations
then I, but do you think that you could help
these poor children? To show them that Christmas
does exist?
You don't know how much that would mean to them.
To myself, also. Thanks ever so much in advance.
Cheryl
UPDATE:
Thanks so much for writing back.
I'm sorry I failed to add the childrens ages in except the youngest
one, my baby boy, who is 2 1/2.
The other children are two girls, ages 16 and 9, and one other boy,
age 12.
It breaks my heart that my children are want for something to be
under the tree, and I haven't even
the resources available to contact any local agencies for help because
they took thier applications
earlier this year than last.
I don't understand this when I had called several times concerning
the Secret Santa program and
was told that they would take the applications the first week of
November.
When I called back to confirm the information, the woman told me
that they did them in August of
this year because of the high demand from last year.
I had been hoping for this help, and would have handled it much
better if someone had been
honest with me from the very beginning, instead of getting my hopes
up only to have them dashed.
However, personal crisis has added to our burden with my mother
in law battling lung cancer.
The chemo is taking its toll, and trying to be there to support
her mentally and physically is
demanding when you have a family of 4 children and a husband also
that need my attention.
No wonder my mental state is a bit fragile right now.
I know we'll make it with God's Blessings, but sometimes it's a
bit hard to see the light at
the end of that tunnel for want of the fog. My many thanks to you,
dearest.
You are a true sweetheart.
Much love, hugs and kisses to you and yours.........
Cheryl

#19 hello I wanted to find
out if there was anyway to
register with your site to try and get some help for
the holidays as I am fully disabled and my hubby is
out of work d/t cutbacks and unemployment has
certainly run out we try our best to make things
streach but there is only so much you can
do........last year we waited to long not wanting
to
ask for help trying to make it on our own that we
were
too late to get any help at all so our 4 kids had
no
christmas at all last year we have 3 boys ages
16,15
and 13 and a daughter age 16..... we are looking for
possible assistance in gifts for the kids and
christmas dinner any and all help would
be
apprieciated more than you could ever know
thank you toni

#20 I do not know if you can
help me and my family AS were in Canada but this is my
(our) situation. I am a single mom with no family My
kids are young adults whom the oldest
has been seeking work for some time and has no luck
he is 21 and my youngest is 17 and
has a 3 month old baby... all live under my roof and
i am supporting all of us on my meger
wage. The Welfare dept says they will not help us because
my son has not lived on his own
for 2 years and until he does he is not eligible for
aid .. and my 17 year old is still my responsibility
she is also having a difficult time coping because
there are things she would like to get for her baby
and can not because we have not the funds.. The infant
will have to live off of his family allowance
when that kicks in and the authorities tell me that
would be the later part of december. So I can only
say that my finances are strapped i am having a very
difficult time making ends meet and the past
2 months they have not. So any help i could get would
be very appreciated. I do not like to ask
for help but some times here are no other solutions.
but the ones that are before you.
Thank you so much for you time Cheryl D

#22 Hello to all of you,
I am a 37 yr old single mother of two boys. Their
ages are 14 and 17. I have become disabled from
ARDS (Adult Respitory Distress Syndrom).
I went into the hospital 4 times (only 1 do I remember)
asking for help because I could not breath. (My
mom took pictures and notes the whole time I was in
the hospital) 3 times they sent me home with
an Inhaler and oviously if I could not breath, there is no
way I was able to use the inhaler. Finally the
4th time my mom came over to my house and told me
I was white as a ghost and she took me back in to the
emergency room crying asking for help.
They finally took an X-ray and both my lungs were filled
with water. I was admitted in May and put
in a medicated coma and I had trach and was on a vent.
(breathing machine) During my 2 month coma,
they entered 4 tubes into my lungs (3 on my left side
and 1 on my right side) and my mom said when the
2nd tube was entered I coded (died), they had to go
into my heart and start it. I was on 4 different
types of vents because I was unable to breath on my
own. When I woke up, I had no idea were I was,
I could not move (I was paralized) and I could not
talk and cried for my mom. When my mom came in
she was able to read lips and she told me what had
happened. My boys and family came in to feed me
since I could not feed myself, I had to learn to move
with therapy 3-4 times a day, had to learn to sit,
turn over, get into a wheel chair, stand, walk, talk,
etc. September I was released into the care of my
parents since I did not want to go into a nursing home.
I am still going to therapy.
The reason we need help for Christmas is I lost my
job, my home, self-esteem, have memory loss,
depression, anxiety, muscle wasting, and have no money
for my boys or family for christmas.
Please help us.

#24 Although Christmas time
can and is hard on most people, and my family included, this
Christmas will be even harder. Seems like different
set backs all year were going to make it so,
and it has. Thinking about survival and then holidays
at the same time can be overwelming.
I, like so many others, don't like to ask for help,
but sometimes one has to swallow pride.
I really only want Christmas for my son and my grandson.
Thanks for considering us.

#29 I would like help for
my family this christmas for a dinner. I have been very illl
for over a year
now and have good and bad days. recently i was told
i could work part time but just about 2 weeks
ago my labs came back and im deficient in several areas
and my primary doctor told me not to work
right now as the main concern is trying to get the nutritional
deficenties back within a normal range.
i have also been in and out of the hospital on numerous
occadsions too. My 14 year old son has had
to do without alot this past year and half. this
year our finances are worse off as all the money we had
for emergency situations has dwindled down to zero and
we are basically surviving on ssi and socoail security
right now. that does not leave very much for extras
and only covers barely the minimal. The dinner helping for
our family would be a blessing so that I can at least try
to have a nice dinner for my family. I hate to ask
for help but really need it right now. Keep our family
in your prayers and if you fel so compeled to help
that would be great. There are totl of 3 people in
my family. myself my husband and my son.
I thank all the wonderful people out there for thier
generocity.

#31 Hello
my family is in need of help this year for Christmas. My dad is disabled
and can't work and
my mom has to stay home to take care of him. So, we have
to live on what my dad gets from his
disabled check. I'm not asking for me I'm 14 and know there
is no Santa but my brother and sisters still
believe in him. I am just asking for a little something
for them for christmas. This has been a bad year for
us everything seems to go wrong. Stuff in the house is breaking
down, my Uncle died last month, My dad
just found out that he has Lung Cancer, and there might
not be Christmas in my house this year. I know
my mom and dad aren't going to be able to give us christmas
this year, I heard them talking in their room
and mom was crying about it. So, I am trying to see if I
can find help for Christmas.
My name is Josh I'm 14 i have one sister that is 12, one
that is 10, and a brother that is 8.

#32 Dear Patsy and Kay:
Thank you for the wonderful newsletters that you both
do. I have sent up alot of prayers for you both and
your families. Things just never seem to happen at
a
good time and when we can maybe handle it better. But
there are reason for it all and how we do deal with it
let God know what kind of people we are!
Would you please put us up for the Christmas
dinner request. Also any prayers would be great too
so could you add us there too.
I have had my fair share of problems over the years
but this year is going to be the hardest. I have
started back to school and was doing very well but
then there has been problems with my husband. I have
had to have him removed from the home. I am now a
single mom to four beautiful and wonderful children
(Brittnee 15, Cameron 13 and Brandon, Mikayla my twins
that are 6) but it is making Christmas very hard on me
this year. Because of going to school and having all
of them I am not able at this time to get a job. I
want to finish this semester out and see how well I do
before deciding how to work a job into our lives.
My
only wish for this year is to be able to give my kids
a special Christmas for them to remember in the years
to come. Please send up a prayer for us also.
Thank you Patsy and Kay for offering this to ones who
need it. I know that there are no promises that I
will get any help but even the prayers help. May God
Bless all of those who help and prayer for each of
these families at this time of year and thru the
coming year!!
May God bless both of you and all of us in the coming
year!!

#34 I would like for you to consider
my family for Christmas help. My job closed down last month and
I had worked there for 10 years and now unemployment is
gone.. My husband is an invalid and we have
4 kids. We won't have a Christmas dinner this year. I
have never done this before. but I am desparate.
Me and my husband don't want anything. The kids had been staying
at a relative's because we couldn't
afford enough food and laundry needs but they cried so to come
home. Everything has gone wrong these
last few months. I feel like a faliure and I don't think I can
take one more bad thing. Only prayer and the
kids keep me going. The kids haven't asked for one thing
this Christmas and I don't know if that is because
I tell them things will always get better or else they know
how bad things really are.
My name is Sue and I live in Indiana. If you don't choose my
family, please pray that our family will be
happy again and things will get better. thank you.

#36 My name is vicky and my husbands name is mick. we
have 6 kids and money is really tight.
My husband does work and makes about $400.00 a week.
After we pay our bills and buy a small amount of food
we really have nothing left. Our kids are 10.13.15.16
year old twins and the oldest just turned 18. They are
all in school full time and are really good kids. I
have muscular Dystrophy and was working from home
tkaing care of my 2 god daughters untill 6 months ago
when we moved to be closer to my husbands work. Our
rent is $500.00 a month and our utilitys are around
$200.00 a month. We are spending about $70 a week in
gas for the one vehicle we have as it is a14 year old
van and not good on gas. We are not asking for much
but would so love for our kids to be able to have some
gifts and a really good meal on christmas. Our kids
rarely ask us for anything that cost to much and I
hear all my friends kids ask for dinner out and toys
and video games and I know how thankfull I am for the
kids I have. Anyways I know if anyone reads this and
would think of helping us this christmas please let me
know and I will tell you thank you form my big whole family.

My name is susan and my family is having a very
bad time this yr, I just recently lost my
job. My husband is working very hard to provide our needs but a lot
of wks we are foregoing
bills to buy food. We are part of the working poor and don't want
handouts just a break, we
don't receive social assisstance because we can generally make it
once i get a job but cannot
do it this holiday season. I am trying to be honest with you, I am
to the point where I feel
hopeless and discouraged, I woulen't write if we didn't need the help.
thank you so much.

#40 I am a single mother of three.
I lost my job 3 weeks ago due to another companies takeover.
I feel so alone and I tried to sign up for the Christmas help my church
offers,
only to be told I was over 2 weeks late(!!!)
My children are 14, 13 both boys and a little 6 year old girl.
If you cannot help me then please, pray for me.
Elise
Thank you for what I feel/know is genuine kindness. While I wasn't expecting
any
physical help, your prayers and the fact that you took the time to answer
me specifically
are GREATLY appreciated and will never be forgotten. Thank you and your
family for
everything you do for me and the multitude of subscribers every day.
In Christian Love,
Elise

had to quit my job because my daughter was ill from mold in our home.I

off with her and was told by office mgr that maybe i should find a job
where i can take off
with my kids when they are sick.Financially we are drowning fast.I know
things will get better..
it will just take time.We had so much damage to our home that the contractor
told us that it

Patsy, I know this is late but I don't have anyother
choice and I know that I might not get
pick but I figured I'd try anyway. Things seems to have gone from
bad to worse this year,
My health has gotten steadly worse and I can only work for 15 hours a week
at minumin wage
and my hubby can't work at all right now, so everything I make goes on
bills which are steady
getting behind so Pat (hubby) filed for bankrupcy and it seems everyone
looks down on you
when you have to file but what else can you do when you can't make it.
If I don't get adopted
I'll understand but I know you do a great service to everyone out there
no matter what and
I love your group very much and love being a part of it. Thank you
for listening and
God bless you for what you do.
Love Linda B

#2 Awwwwww...we
have been adopted by Julia & her Mom:)
God Bless these Christmas
Angels & thank you from Patt & her family & also
all of us at Pakadevas:)
patsy,
i am hoping you will add our 4 children
for the holidays.
we are in need of christmas help for our
4 children. my husband was injured at work last dec 29.
and has been on and off work comp since
then. they cut him off first because they said his injury
was not work related. our lawyer found
a report from the dr in st louis that he wanted my husband
to have a milogram, so until the milogram
was completed and results in they put him back on work
comp. to say the least we have fallen behind
in everything and are slowly trying to play catch up.
my husband had his milogram on the 10 of
this month, ever since then he has been un-able to walk,
sit up or stand with out help. i help him
get dressed etc. we have contacted his case manager at
work comp and they are trying to get him
in to see a dr to see if this was caused by the milogram.
before the milogram he could walk but he
was bent over and walked very very slowly. he cant
ride in a car longer than an hour.
i was planning on getting a part time job
to help out with
outstanding bills but am now un-able too,
there is no way he can be
left alone in his state of health.
we would like some assistance for christmas
for our 4 children, they
have been great thru all of this and have
helped always.
lindsay will be 12 in dec. she doesnt need
clothes but a pair of
shoes and boots would be nice, she
wears a size 3, she would also
like books, jewelry and make up for a 12
yr old. she will be in
junior high next year. she would needs
single sheets for her bed and
a quilt. also maybe some light perfume.
steven is 10, he likes anything nascar,
also needs sheets for his
bed, also a book worm
trinity is 9, she would like books and
dolls, she also needs sheets,
boots and shoes also underware, she wears
a size 1 in shoes and size
6 in underware
brandy is 7, she would like dolls and anything
dolly or having to do
with housework, she loves playing mommy
to her dolls, she also needs
sheets, shoes and boots, and underware.
shoe size is 13 and
underware is size 5. she could use some
turtle neck shirts and jeans
with an elastic waist size 6.
if you would like further information please
feel free to contact
me, thank you in advance
hugs
patt
PS: patsy, i don't mean for everything
to be given, whatever, as for the sheets ive been watching our
free-cycle and we make do with what we
have. all the kids are into word circle books, and reading,
our kids are not picky and they dont ask
for a single thing. but word circle books are important in
this
house, we have 1 left and they all want
to use it at the same time. nothing has to be expensive and
it
can be used if in good condition. sheets
is just something that is needed but not necessarilly wanted.
i hope this helps you out a bit, and we
do have a lawyer for my husband, we have since he got hurt.
hugs patt

Awwwwww...we have been adopted by an angel
named Stephanie:)
God Bless this Christmas
Angel & thank you from Kandi & her family & also all
of us at Pakadevas:)
#3 HI. I really
hate asking for anything but here is my situation. I recently
became disabled due to
Multiple Sclerosis and Congestive Heart
Failure.. I have two boys at home yet. We were getting
371.00 dollars in food stamps while I was
applying for disability benefits. That got us along just fine.
But now that I receive disability which
is only 544.00 a month, they have cut our food stamps to a
mere 83.00 a month. Our rent alone is 350.00.
It is really hard to get by. And I would so love to
have my children have a decent Christmas
as I don't know if my health and the good Lord will
give
me another Christmas with them. I can give
documentation of my income if anyone would like to
see that this is all true. Thank
you so much for making this available to us.
God Bless you all. Kandi S. Galesburg

Awwwwww...we have been adopted by an angel
named Diane:)
God Bless this Christmas
Angel & thank you from Diane & her family & also all
of us at Pakadevas:)
#6 HI Patsy,
I hope you are doing ok. I hope you can help
us out this year. My husband has MS and
disable from that, We live on his ss check
and thats just enough to pay the bills. If any is
left each month it has to be saved to pay
the house taxes and insurance. We have our
2 grandchildren living with us now for they
had been thrown from house to house in
Tennessee til the grandfather down there
finally asked us to take them. The little boy
is 2 and the little girl is 4 and had been
abused by her father. They seem to like it here
and are finally starting to learn. The girl
didn't know any colors or number or anything
when she came here but starting to do pretty
good now, her mom did drugs when she
was pregnant with her. And when we got the
little boy all he knew how to say was
bite bite and nite nite. Now I can say he
talks all the time and I love it, but I am heartfelt
for I know we dont have any extra to buy
them any thing for christmas. They seem to
like anything I give them but I dont give
them very much sweets. If any one could take
our need in consideration for the children
I would so appreciate it. We only want to see
them happy and healthy and nothing else matters.
You sent myself and my husband the
soup and candy 1 year and I appreciated what
you did for us then and hate to ask for
any help now, but the children had nothing
when they came here, very few clothes and
not many toys. Friend down here gave me a
baby bed and toddler bed for them. and I
was so thankful. I know God watches over
us always for it seems when we are at our
lowest something always happens. Thank you
for all you do for the people out there.
I am sorry to keep going on I will go for
now. Thank you so much Diane
#8 Awwwwww...we have been adopted by an
angel
named Jerry:)
God Bless this Christmas
Angel & thank you from Doris
& her boys & also all of us at Pakadevas:)
Thank you so much. It will mean a lot to my sons. My 17 year
old can invite
his girlfriend for a meal without being embarrassed.
We do not have Kroger stores in our area. They all closed about
a year ago.
We have Publix, Food World, Winn Dixie and Walmart super centers
for grocery
shopping.
My address is Doris B.
Clay, AL
Again thank you
Doris
#8 I am a single mother
with 2 teenage sons at home. My older son has a heart condition
and is
unable to work or attend school since he blacks
out several times a day. He has been denied
disability. My younger son has been
working to help me out but the grocery store he worked
at closed (bankrupt) so he is no longer working.
Jobs are hard to find so he is unemployed.
He can't draw unemployment since he is a minor
that only worked part time. I work as many
hours as I can but it seems there is never
enough money for necessities much less extras.
I work as a waitress so my pay depends on
tips and with gas prices soaring and power bills
going up, people are a bit tight with tips
so it is hurting me. I do not ask for myself but I would
love to give my sons a good meal for Christmas.
I know they would appreciate it so much.

Awwwwww...we have been adopted by an
angel named Donna:)
Patsy,
I had to read your email a couple of times before
it sunk in what it said
and now I am sitting here crying knowing that maybe my
kids will have a
christmas.I have 2 boys ages 4 and 6 and 2 girls ages
2 and a 2 week old.
I am not to worried about the baby as she is to young to
know anything.
Thank you and God Bless and please tell the other person
thank you from me
God Bless this Christmas
Angel & thank you from Janet & her family & also
all of us at Pakadevas:)
#10 I have never done this before asked for help. I am a
single mother of 4 and living
on child support. I left a abusive relationship
due to my ex taking his temper out on the
kids. That was the final straw the kids have
been though hell. We just moved out of a
shelter to a small 2 bed room mobile home.
Its not a castle but its home. I recently found
out that I have cancer and unable to work due
to just having my baby 4 days ago and the
treatments that we are going to be starting
for the cancer. I have applied for food stamps
but have heard nothing on them yet and could
take up to 30 days to be approved and
would be eligiable for 245 a month which I
know wont go far as formula will take over
half since I am not able to breast feed due
to the medications I am on . I would like to
be taken into consideration for the christmas
dinner so that my children will have a decent
meal on Christmas. We have been living on roman
noodles and hot dogs and mac and
cheese. My kids deserve more but is all that
I can afford and would love for them to
have a christmas that I could not afford for
them.
Thank you and god bless

God Bless this Christmas Angel & thank
you from Josette & her family & also all of us at Pakadevas:)
#21 Dear Patsy,
Could you please put us on your Christmas List,here
is our story:
My name is Josette and this past year has been really
hard on us,my fiance' is retired
and gets very little money to pay the bills,we do get
food stamps and almost all of that
goes to buying extra formula that our son needs,sure
we get WIC but,WIC doesn't give
enough so,we must use our stamps to get it.We never
have enough food and those who
have helped us in the past can no longer because we
are past our limit.My children are
7,4,and 3.Yes,our son is on formula till he is 4 years
old to build his immune system up.
The bills have been piling up
and we almost lost our power a week ago but,we managed
to borrow $20.00 to at least
keep them on.Any help for the holidays would
be greatly appreciated.
Thank You and God Bless You!
Hugs and Prayers,
Josette and Family
PS. Our son is on Isomil 2 Advanced Formula

MYSELF AND MY HUSBAND ARE ON DISIBILTY, WE STRUGGLE EACH

JUST ME AND MY
HUSBAND SITTING HOME, NO TURKEY DINNER, IT JUST SEEMS
LIKE EACH YEAR
IT GETS HARDER AND HARDER, ALL OUR FAMILY IS IN INDIANA,
WE WOULD GIVE
ANYTHING TO HAVE A TURKEY DINNER ON OUR TABLE. I CAN'T
REMEMBER THE
LAST TIME THAT HAPPENED. IF I HAD MY CHOICE THIS WOULD
BE THE OTHER
WAY AROUND, WHEN I WAS ABLE TO WORK, WE ALWAYS DONATED
TO THE
NEEDY, AND WE ALWAYS SPONSORED A CHILD ON CHRISTMAS,
IT WAS A VERY
FULFILLING FEELING TO DO THIS.
GOD BLESS YOU HAPPY HOLIDAYS

an angel
named Brenda:)
God Bless this Christmas
Angel & thank you from Cindy & family & also
all of us at Pakadevas:)
#26 I am really embarrassed
to be writing to you for help. Last year, we were giving to the
needy.
My husband and I are raising our 2 grandsons(6 and 4)
because their parents are addicts.
My husband was diagnosed with Emphysema ad COPD last
January and unable to work.
I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and have all I can do to
tend to the children and my husband's needs
We have used up all our savings and trying to pay the
mortgage and other monthly bills on
Social Security Disability. Any help would be greatly
appreciated to make the boys a merry Christmas.
They have had so much disappointment in their lives
already
Thank You for your kind consideration in this matter.
either way, have a nice holiday season and God be with
you al

#28 Patsy Dear.
I know last night you said that I could add a letter to
the Christmas need list and I said it was up
to you dear. I don't feel right asking well actually
begging for help year after year. I just don't
know what else to do. I have prayed and prayed to
God to bring us out of our situation and it
seems that our testing is not over as it gets harder every
year.
If you do add us to the list Risa wears size 6 pant 6
shirt and 12 1/2 shoe, and she loves Disney
princesses, barbie and basically everything as she is
not real picky yet.
Billy wears size 32x32 pant Shirt Med - Large
Shoe 10 1/2.
It really hurts so bad that we can't give the kids Christmas
this year and may not have a tree or
even Christmas dinner. I wish I could return to
work as Super Wal~Mart just opened here and
if I was able to work could have got a job there.
The dr told me that there is parallisys setting into
my ankles feet legs and knees already
from my back. I am wearing braces from my toes to
the top of my calves right now on both feet
and legs. They are also working on knee braces and
a special brace for my back right now as well.
I go December 7th to be measured and fitted for a special
wheel chair as the one I have now is
standard and not good enough anymore. This new chair
will have a special seat, back and all, as
well as removable armrests so that when the time comes
( which is sooner than they thought) that
I am confined to the chair we can take the arm rest off
and put a transfer board on it and the couch,
bed or whatever so I just slide right over
to and from the chair. I am also so tired of all
the pain that I am in and it just seems like the
morphine is not killing it like it should, however they
are doing the job according to the dr as it is
just the pain is increasing. I have not told anyone
the whole story as to what is going on with me
healthwise cause I don't want pitty or sympathy
bestoed upon me. One possible ray of sunlight
though is one of my dr's at the VA said that I need to
file for service connected disability at the
100% level and if that is approved my income will increase
about 400% and then we will be able
to make ends meet around here and even sponsor a family
or two in the future, but that has to be
approved first and the government will fight forever before
it is approved. Well dear I am going to
get out of here and lay down as I did not sleep at all
last night.
You are in my special prayers as well as everyone with
needs not only this holliday season but year
round as I know from experience and currently that the
needs are there all the time. I also pray that
everyone that takes the time to donate, adopt a family
or even wants to help even though they can't a
very special blessing on them as well. Take care and hope
to hear back from you real soon dear.
Love, Tom

BE WONDERFUL.
