I live in Daleville, AL, home to Ft. Rucker Aviation  -- helicopter headquarters of the Army. Single, but in a fabulous relationship; 48 yrs. old, but I look pretty darn good for an old lady; mom to 2 boys who are adults (kinda); own a greyhound named Murphy who was adopted from Ebro Race Track, Florida; live in a very very hot state where the corn crop has literally burned before our eyes.  I have a 89 Chevy Cavalier Z24 that is sitting in my driveway and needs a starter (it's really a cool car).  I was born in Germany and I am a US citizen.  I sang in a collegiate choir for 7 years with little 18, 19 and 20 yr. old babies and even got asked out on a date by one of them (I didn't go -- married at the time, plus my oldest son would have had a stroke).  My eyebrows are tatooed on.  I got it done in 1999 after years of penciling them on like a 40's movie star or a hooker.  My kids were horrified if I took them to school without them on. I taught junior high drama for 7 years at a Catholic school (what a trip -- I'm still recovering).  I have been a Boy Scout leader for over 12 years (I did give it up last year after my son got his Eagle Scout badge).  I met Robert Beltran (First Officer Chakotay) from Star Trek Voyager and John deLancie who played Q in Star Trek Next Generation at separate Sci-Fi conventions in Cleveland. I am dying of kidney disease. I was waiting for a kidney, and now I have one. My sister will donate on September 19, 2006 at University of Alabama at Birmingham Transplant Center.

I will need some help paying for things that the insurance won't cover. Every little bit helps and I will also pledge to help my friend Shirley at the dialysis clinic with some of her bills, too. She has absolutely no support network.

why did i look into this site, well after a report about how people helped skreetch from saved by the bell. i thought i would see if such a site existed. but i found more than i expected. one to see that there are people worse off than myself and yet i can say we are poor, we do need help, but we are surviving, you wonder what kind of help do we need. one is

prayer

prayer on what you may ask? well my husband is going to school to better our life as a EMT security guard and every time he tries to find ways to improve our lives disaster hits. example he tried to work in security and become a insurance agent and when his security job found out they changed his schedule during the best time to get contracts after being on the same job schedule for 3 years, also kept placing him on call instead of hours to work, which effected scheduling appointments. school for ministry, but our youngest got very sick and ended up in the hospital which caused him to fail and loose his grant money chances. then the school ended up loosing its accreditation. our cars were breaking down around that time. but we finally have a car that cut that problem. we had a wonderful church that we felt a part of for so many years and the pastor leaves to minister overseas, bringing in a pastor that ruined the church and took away from people who were helping the church grow. but now we are helping a wonderful man to start a new church, he needs prayer for growth and a building to preach.

                        my dream is more of a money thing to start. i want to start a help center, with clothing, food, budget education, reading help, low cost evening daycare for parents to have a few hours to themselves. a place where college students can earn volunteer credits for their resumes, rooms for educational purposes or scout meetings, to teach crafts and skills to help people.

as a military brat i have seen the smallest of buildings used in so many ways. that activities can work together. even a small basketball court, uncarpeted so that it can be used for different dances or skating or allow water games that wont ruin the floor. have a place to have little carnivals or fund raisers, meetings for locals to teach people a skill or craft. it can be a safe place for kids to run if scared. yes this also sounds like a youth center, but i want to build one where people help people, not products like computer or video games babysit the kids, have game tables that involve skills and teamwork, board games and home work help also from volunteers. having a child with medical needs is also a challenge and the education about her condition is so little that the place can be a medical education, and to share with the area other uncommon conditions others wish to share with people. like turrets, i just learned there are over 200 types of seizures. how many knew that? i learned that selective hearing and selective sight isn't just a joke for kids who don't want to look or listen to the parents. its a true condition, my daughter has selective sight, where she blanks out like you don't exist when you think she is staring at you. this sight has many who ask for money. i wish i could, but the money needed for my direction is to big. PRAYER would be great, ideas to get this started would be appreciated, take in mind, i have very little college education, hardly enough money to live without struggle and a handful with 3 daughters. my youngest has a condition called ACC(agenesis of the corpus callosum) missing the middle brain stem, we feared seizures, but god answered that prayer and no indication sense she was 1. her mind is effected by migraines due to her mind can not be work as hard as a normal kid without headaches, but resting helps and slower pacing as well. she is only 5, migraines are not good for a child that age, she has asthma from the time of the hospital stay 3 years ago and we are always careful with that. i have a bright gifted daughter who wants to grow up to fast, she feels she is equal to an adult at age 12, A student, she is a musician, singer, writer, artist, fastball thrower, good kicker and great help to me at home. she wishes to be a primary teacher when she grows up.  my middle child who is 9needs prayer. she is in 2nd grade and she has learning problems, getting tested for ODD(oppositional defiant disorder) ADHD, she cant sit still and her attention in and out of school is very short, but she is great in science, math and gymnastics direction. we will not medicate her and the school took 2 years to finally test her after we kept at them to help her, my youngest is bright even with her condition, she can read and write backward and forwards, started writing at 4, talks like a 8 year old. her teacher is very proud of her. my help center. is a dream, it's a wish, it's prayer, its a love of helping people as i can. god gave me the vision and the direction to do. i know one day that with gods will and gods timing such a organization will happen, even if it is started in a church or government office or a private direction. weather i started or share my knowledge for those who can start it, i know with what gift god gave me that it will happen. , why i know, he has proven himself with healing my daughter when deathly sick, saving another from a 2 story fall, helping my best friend thru her struggles and the peace that things will happen for the better, not by my time, but his allone, not my way, but his  way will be done. one phrase for me is this....

 if god and the lord jesus wills it then so be it.

god bless everyone 

peace fill your mind as you go thru your daily lives .
