Not sure what to do about the button?
First of all Merry Christmas to all. This Christmas is going to be a sad one for our family. We lost our mom on November 24, 2008 after a 10 week battle with Multiple Myleoma. Our family has had so many tragedies this year. I am a 47 year old mother with 2 children in the home and a husband in college to earn his degree and I was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer. I have undergone the Whipple procedure, which removed 40% of my stomach, 1ft1/2 of intestine, 1/3 pancreas and spleen. I am undergoing chemo for the second time and I have lost approx 100 lbs. I am a registered nurse and have not been able to work since Jan 08. My sister is 31, single parent and was diagnosed in 2004 with Hodgkin Disease, she is in remission at this time, but she has scans on Friday to make sure that she is okay. On top of this, my dad has been diagnosed with prostate cancer. Our family is going crazy here. We need help. If you feel lead to help financially for our children for christmas, you can call me at 910-592-2737 or mail your donations to 7039 Roseboro Hwy Roseboro, NC 28382. I have always helped others as a nurse and now I am crying out for help.
Thanks in advance.

I linked up to your blog and give-aways last week (11/24/08) by adding your buttons to my blog before the deadline and followed the instructions on your blog… but I did not get added by the “ping back.”
Am I signed up for all the give-a-ways or not? I’m so confused.
So cute.
all the best to the forum its nearly time for break thank god
regards john noi jamie

IT’S GREAT TO SEE THAT PEOPLE AND LARGE COMPANIES DO CARE. SO MANY ARE DOING WITH OUT THIS YEAR AND JUST TRYING TO LIVE. LET’S NOT FORGET THE CHILDREN ARE JUST THAT…CHILDREN. THANKS FOR TRYING TO HELP “US” OUT.
Since I am an ‘old’ grandmother, and sometimes computer challenged, hope this is what I am supposed to do. As with most everyone today, us retired people need all the help we can get. I think the moms today are so great.
I could really use some help this Christmas, I am a single mom of 4 kids, hoping not to dissapoint them this year.
this year there seems to be a big downturn 35 hours for me this winter i also service the motor trade
never mind we are a familey and really wont go without thank god
I added a link and blogged about this, thanks

Hi, I am nominating my sister for christmas help under the tree. She has been a nursing assistant. She lost her job in September 2008. She had pancreatis and called off from work. The job she worked for wanted Family Medical Leave Act papers filled out. She told them she had a note from the emergency room doctor but she has no health insurance so she couldn’t get the family act papers filled out.( Emegency room doctor won’t fill out doesn’t know your history to say if this is a re-occuring thing ,how long will it last etc. ) She had a release also to go back to work but the job wouldn’t accept without papers filled out. The job said she was volunterally terminated. She has not been able to get unemployment and her husband is disabled and his money goes to pay the rent. Her son is austistic he is 14 years old and beleives in St. Nicholas. She doesn’t know where she is going to get money to buy him anything this year. I have been helping her with her other bills and food and I won’t have anything left to buy anything for my family please help her with her time in need. Thank you and God Bless! sinerely. Michelle B
