Hello, Happy holidays to everybody that is kind and loving enough to read this,also to the others that somehow found themselves on the other end of the Holiday giving tradition. For years I found myself giving during the holidays(only usually) except for St. Jude,But it has recently dawned on me that I really should have given year round,even though it may not have been much,It would've for sure helped somebody. My son is 8 yrs. old now and has special needs,For years the Doc. and the school system have changed his diagnosies at least 5 times,very fustrating,Iv'e come to the conclusion that my son has mild Asburger's syndrom,He has a diagnosies of Cognitive Impairement, I really don't care about what it's called anymore, I focus on getting him the education and compassion he deserves,My little angel is in a Life Skills class and he is finally making the friends he so lovingly deserves. I'm not really sure if the stress of my husband being unemployed for 10 yrs. and loving and caring for a special needs child but the past 2 yrs. Iv'e had several surgerys,7 days in the hospital when I contracted a staff infection from my job, hours of surgery later I went home only to be out of work for another 2 weeks, then tumors on my uterus,In Feb. of this year I had a hysterectomy, I'm 37 now but it still was a low blow,Please understand I'm not complaining entirely because I know others aren't lucky enough to recover like I had,BUT.. Recently there were 2 lumps in my throat and after a CAT Scan they aren't sure what to make of it, I need another Cat Scan, after 8 weeks of antibiotics the lumps grew, they think lymphomia??? I pray to God if it is I'm early enough! My little boy needs me,that's what I WANT 4 CHRISTMAS..But because of my constant time off work and being basically black balled from one of my jobs for needing time off and apparently the other employee's didn't think it was fair,I have failed to keep up on some,well on all of my bills. I AM PRAYING that there maybe could be some help for Christmas for just a gift or 2 for my son,my son deserves it,really he does,he is the most compassionate person I know,I would never change him even if I had a free wish. My son loves the simple things,Lego's, board games,sorry sliders,perfection,roller blades,He wouldn't care,and neither would I. If someone actually get's through this book,God bless you. Thankyou from our hearts to your's. ALWAYS THANKFUL!
