Wow.

So yesterday there was a conflict at my daughters moms house, and my daughter was attacked by a woman and two men. She is ok now, but has multiple concusions, a fractured thumb, and her jaw is out of alignment. She's here at home, we're helping her rest.

Besides that, it's HOTTTT in Fresno.

:/

Have a good day, everyone.

First payment made!

So this morning I made a $60 payment for Edo. It came from the donation jar at Kristinas.

Yayyy!

Weekend.

I got new furniture (a friend gave us some since mine is torn up), and I've moved stuff around, in preparation for Edo. I also installed a air conditioner I bought last summer. It was difficult for me to install, so I had to have my daughters boyfriend help me pick it up. I don't think it was actually all that heavy, my body just wouldn't do it.

I was going to visit Edo this weekend, but my step son is getting married in 6 weeks, so we had to sit down and go over the list of people going. Wanted to make sure everyone was on the list. I wish we could help him and his Fiance out more, but we're stuck financially.

Well the donation jar at Kristinas is doing good I heard! It gives me a lot of hope, I'm excited.

I FORGOT TO MENTION:

Any donations can be used as a tax write off, I have the tax code, if you'd like it.

Thanks, Eli.

Got my cooling vest today.

I applied for a cooling vest to keep me cool in the heat, since the doctor advised me not to be in the heat. I work on a lot of projects around my house, so I need to be able to stay cool and do what little I can. I applied for that and a pillow and pretty much it's a vest and a pillow that has ice packs inside to keep me cool. I was very suprised on how fast they got it to me. I'm freezing the ice packs right now so I probably won't try it out til tomorrow. Which will be good, because it's going to be hotter tomorrow than it is today.

I also applied for a donation through the MS society and the highest amount they can offer is $400. They asked me where I would get the rest of my funding and I try to explain how I've sent out letters. I almost feel as if they will deny my application solely based on the fact that I'm not quite sure how I'll finish raising the rest of the money. I hope it goes through though because $400 is still quite a bit. That'll knock me down to $5,100.

I might go visit Edo this weekend. Even though I will have to go through the "training bootcamp" once I am able to bring Edo home, it is very nice to get to see him now. He gives me hope and I also think that by visiting him and getting him comfortable around me now, it might be easier to train during the training session.

At Kristinas Ranch on first & barstow I have a change jar. It also has a picture of Edo on the front. Thank you all at Kristinas for letting me put a donation jar in your store.

Also, thank you Mike Oz for helping spread the word about my blog: http://bit.ly/39CTEm

June 17th 2009

I'm feeling ok, writing letters. My medicine seemed to help today, many days it doesn't. I have things to do today, but I'm worried about doing them because when I get into heat, it takes a toll on my entire body. I get light headed, and weak, and almost to the point where I can no longer see anything around me.

But anyway, I'm going to my doctor, after taking my daugther by my dads.

I'll try to update later.

Donations

Anything helps:)

I'm sending in any money I'm able to get myself, and I think I'm really going to need the help.
