My sister lives in Kansas and her daughter lives in Idaho. Jenifer and her husband Joseph have two boys 11 and 4. She started having seizures July of 2013. They found a Cavernous Malformations of the Brain (Cavernomas) unfortunately they are unable to remove this malformation due to the location of it in her brain. Her seizures are grand mal in nature and have caused her speech and memory deficits. After each seizure she takes a week or more to recover and never fully regaining her baseline. Joseph works full time in IT and is able to be at home with her nights and weekends. Oddly enough Jenifer only has seizures while she is sleeping. When she has a seizure it becomes a sleepless night for Joseph. The emotional toll this is taking on them is huge. She is the love of his life and he is terrified of losing her. It is beyond terrifying for me. I lost a child in 1999 to a similar brain disorder. My son Bucky was 16 when he died from an arteriovenous malformation (AVM). Needless to say this is cause for alarm and controlled panic for me.
The complicate things, they do not live near any family. I need to be able to go be with them to give Joseph respite and emotional support. Their little boys do not understand why Mommy is sick and why there are Paramedics in their house every few weeks in the middle of the night.
I want to move to Idaho and help take care of my family. To be able to move across country and unwind from the commitments I have here in Kansas will take money I do not have. This is why I am reaching out for help. I need $2,000 for the physical move and $5,200 to fulfil my financial commitments here in Kansas through the end of the year.
It had been my plan to move the end of December but I just received a phone call that Jenifer just had another grand mal seizure this one lasting 2-3 minutes. Her poor husband is so tired and emotionally drained. I am so grateful that my daughter has such an amazing husband.
I have lost a child; the thought of losing another terrifies me. I humbly ask for any support your heart leads you to give. Please if you can help, Fundraiser by Denise Rookstool : Please read our story. Thank you Let them know Herbie sent you, Thank you.

I think its suspicious but who knows. This type thing goes on all the time.

What makes you think so?

If it smell like crap , Looks like crap ! Then crap.
Just think about it. If this was real Nick ( And I believe I know him a little) He would have gave already.
I have my charities that I give to annually. Here is the link and I for one am a contributor. Saint Jude’s Children Hospital is my favorite.
I say give to whom you know will do the very best for your contribution.

Those children really need us.Oh yes they do. Darn it ! It makes me sad. If you are near just take the tour. I cried and now, at this moment reminiscing I’m tearful! Yep!
How would I feel if one of my darling grandbabies came down with cancer.
When I get to Heaven (if I do) I’m talkin’ to God about this. Kids should be free to love a grow nothing more and nothing less.
If you can get by this link without opening your wallet ! You are beyond hope. And if it makes you feel better it is a write off.
Remember the Law of Reciprocity.
I’m sad!

I feel the same way… Take me, but no one between 0-21, it’s not right at all.

When you go through something where a small child is ill or seriously hurt, you realize the injustice it really is. People have questioned their faith over this (I know I have).

St Jude is VERY COOL!
I give annually to the cause for these kids.

[cfrendzel (Carl Frendzel)]

I support St. Jude as well.

It isn’t about faith Brother. It rains or the just and the unjust.
I have made a good living , but the secret (if there is one) is giving.
I was a hard head at the maximum. I chased the dollar relentlessly .
Then I discovered the Law I mention in an early post.
The Law Of Reciprocity.
Really ! If you want to make more then give more.

Just give it a little try! Think giving more to the person that waits on your table. That law come into effect here as well.
Try it! Nothing to lose, but bunches to gain.
Please tell me later how it comes out…OK?

The more you give with a good heart the abundance will never cease.
Good heart being the key.
