Xtragr8ful needs a chair

I am in desperate need of a power wheelchair! 

I have to have my leg amputated and want to get the medical equiptment needs taken care of now.  I am immobile at present but my old wheelchair is not electric and is falling apart from age. I am unable to go anywhere or get out of house. 

I need a powerchair to keep up with my 7 and 8 year old grandsons, who I have adopted.  I cannot do anything with them currently and their youth is whisking by quickly.  I have missed so much already. 

I am on medicaid which does not pay for power chairs. If you could find someone possibly  donating a chair, I would be extremely grateful(xtragr8ful):) How can I thank you enough for being my angel when I really need one?  Words cannot express my appreciation for this gift of help that you bring at this time in my life. I thank you so much and may God bless you with health,and true happiness!

Xtragr8ful's question

Greetings everyone! I am new to this but I will try to tell you a bit about myself. I am a disabled, homebound, 53 year old mom/grandma to beautiful 7 and 8 year old boys. They are my grandson's, but I have adopted them to try to give them  a" better life".   I took them under wing at ages of 1 year and 1 week old, relatively. 

Up until now, I have been doing okay by them. I am in the process of getting settled into a rental in Georgia. I came from Michigan, which I now find had much more to offer the disabled or low income family. I moved to Georgia after I found I have to have a leg amputated. I need to be near someone who can take care and nuture my boys during my hospitalization and my recovery. 

However, since moving to Georgia, I have had to give up on many of the benefits I had in Michigan.  I have never experienced this type of poverty before!  Georgia is a state not inclined to help the poor or needy. I do not want to go on, talking about my woes, as most of you have heard so many crying out or have troubles of your own.  If you want to know more, please read my blog.  Thanks to all of you who have taken the time to read this profile page...please keep us in your prayers.                        

warmest regards~

About jeslargo

I am the 58 year old mother of Tim who was diagnosed with stage IV follicular b cell lymphoma in March of 2003 at only27 yrs old. Four months earlier his girlfriend committed suicide while he was on vacation, 2 years later his father died in a car wreck and two months later I lost my Mom. I do have another son with 4 children; but they have no contact with us because of our mental and emotional conditions. He claims it is too much stress in his life. My tears are a daily part of my life. Tim is being prepared for a stem cell transplant. The port for the chemo he is to receive is being surgically placed this week. We live about 50 miles from the hospital round trip and eventually we will have to have a place within a few blocks/miles of the hospital. My sons medical and recovery condition can change by the minute. He also drinks at least four to six milk chocolate Ensure drinks daily. I believe it has saved his life. But a six pack costs apx. $7.32 each which weekly equals apx. $45.00 per month. We both live on SS disabilty, him for his cancer; and me for my mental and emotional disability. I am so tired of living thru this but I can't do anything, I can't leave him, I am his Mom.

Each month it gets progressively worst with no end in sight where all we own have been sold to be able to buy food and medication. Anything would help and would be greatly appreciated

I have recently been told that my health condition is much worse then was first realized.  I have been trying to get my self on track for some time now, but there is little hope that I will get any better.

My medical expenses are mounting now and my boyfriend has had to quit his job to help take care of me. Things are now in desperate times.  He has had to sell his truck because of my mounting health needs after becoming completely bed bound from this current round of health issues.

I am not asking for a specific amount, just whatever someone can offer.

Thank you for your help.

I would prefer people us Pay Pal for donations, but other arrangements could me made at your request. My email for Pay Pal ID is becky438452000@yahoo.com should you choose to use this method to donate. If you require more information please contact me at becky188@gmail.com.

Help before we end up living under a bridge

I'm not exactly sure how to even start this as we have always been self sufficient until now, but, here I go. My husband and I have been through alot of things in the last 2 years including living through Hurricane Katrina, but losing everything we owned, including our jobs as they were washed away with the water. We've always relied on God for the things that we have needed even through the storm, we didn't ask FEMA for a thing, we got a little bit of help from the Red Cross right at first to keep us all from dying of thirst and starvation. This includes our children.  We have struggled since the storm and the rent has more than doubled because there is so little property that wasn't damaged or completely washed away only leaving slabs, where homes use to be. In December of 2006 I had a major car accident that almost killed me, I haven't been right physically since the accident. We have no insurance for medical bills or prescriptions, without the medication I am unable to walk from the major pain, caused by the damage to my spine and pelvis which has 4 breaks, both hips are out of place and have fluid on them where they go into the hip joint. I can't do anything about it as I don't qualify for any type of state insurance because I haven't been diagnosed as totally disabled yet by the state of Mississippi. Without being able to see the right Doctors there is no way for that to happen. Just to see any specialist or pain management Doctor it costs $ 305.00 for the initial visit, that is the price without any tests or medications. ANY and I mean ANY financial help is so badly needed, $1.00 in an envelope or how much ever you feel right about sending would be such a blessing. PLEASE HELP WE REALLY DO NEED IT!

Help! $2000 needed for medical bills and medecine & bills! For my child

    I am not really sure about how this works. Someone close to me suggested it. I have a wonderful family. A wonderful husband and three beautiful children. I am a Teachers aide and do not make alot of money. My husband was just laid off from his job a month ago and we are out of money. I cannot work in the summer and do not have an income either. He is currantly looking everywhere for something, anything. We are scared to death. We have mounting bills including numerous medical bills from where one of our three children was sick. Some have gone into collection. We try so hard and give our lives to God and for some reason we just have rotton luck. I have no doubt that we will turn this situation around soon but for now we are just so desperate. My oldest child need asthma medication and we are currantly trying to get state assistence. But until that comes through we cant afford it. I am crying right now because I feel like I am begging. I believe in paying it forward. I know one day I will be in a position to help someone who needs it and I wil pay it forward. Thank you!

Personal Need

I have filed bankruptcy. Therefore they take $800 a month out of my check. I bring home around $350 a month. I also have diabetes. I do not have enough to pay the bills, buy groceries or medicine each month. I need some help.
