I have 2 children with Alopecia areata and one that has Alopecia Universalis which is an Auto Immune disease which cause hair loss. Two of my children have patches of hair loss and one has no body hair at all...having three children with the same condition is rare...Now you are probably wondering why I am explaining this to you all. Okay, My daughter is 11 and my sons are 7 and 5 and there is a program called Alopecia Palooza that is happening in August 2012 and I need anyone's help with money or buddy passes on flights to WILMINGTON INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT (ILM) http://alopeciapalooza2011.charityhappenings.org/ This is a great opportunity for my children to meet new friends for a lifetime that have the same condition as they do. My children have never me any other children that has hair loss like that especially meeting a child with no hair loss. So I am asking please anyone if you are willing to help my family out in anyway that would be greatly appreciated....If you have the time take a look at the website to get more information on this gathering..again thank you very much for taking the time to read my story...

Hello, I am in dire need of help.....All was a struggle to get where I am at now...I have a job which I have been there for only a lil over two weeks and I ride my bike home at 1:00 am in the morning which is very scary...I also have a daughter that will be having surgery soon but we had a set back due to some sort of unknown lesion around the tumor on her femur. So now the doctor wants to scan her whole body to see if there is anymore lesions anywhere else in her body. I have faith and I will continue to have faith whether it is good or bad. I really need some help with getting a used car I have $700 saved. So if someone out there can help me and my family out that would be a blessing...I will continue to have faith as I have been thru all of my hardships and I am sure something will come up eventually...
Thank You all God Bless.......

Hello, I just want to say that all is going great other than still not having a car I have managed to save up $700 from the job I just recently got..I ride my bike to and from work I start at 4:30 pm and end at 1:00 am so my my ride home is pretty scary but I do what I have to do. I really need a dependable car...So I am asking if there is any one out there that would be willing to help my family out with a little more money for a car. Also an update on my daughter she will finally be getting surgery in two weeks so I really need help at this time. Our Christmas is going okay we are going to have a great Christmas dinner after all...
God Bless

Everything is falling in place...but.....I have faith that my daughters tumor won't be cancerous but why is it that I am so scared......I feel myself falling apart....my blood pressure is high my anxiety is acting up...OMG I just pray to our Heavenly Father that he gives me the strength to get through all of this..I am also scared I am gonna mess up this new job that I just got hired onto....I know its all about faith.... that I have...but it s so hard to maintain my thoughts...Sorry I am just venting
and asking for more prayers
God Bless

Christmas for my family is gonna be okay...We gotta keep having faith and all will work out.....
God Bless

Happy Thanksgiving...Just giving an update on my situation.......So my power was turned off on Wed. and I was so stressed out..and was saying what am I going to do? no power, no car I was seriously hitting rock bottom now. So on the second day all my food in my fridge and freezer went bad...I was seriously feeding my kids sandwiches for two days because I had no way to cook or have any money to buy out to eat for my kids. So on that Thursday night I got a call from my church and they were calling to check up on my daughter that just got out of the hospital and was making sure that everything was okay and I told them my electricity was out and that I qualified for EAP ($688) but that wouldn't cover a bounced check...So they said I had to pay $900 to get my lights on...but I told the Church that I had $300 from selling my bed. So guess what the church offered to pay the $600 to turn my lights back on...What a relief seriously....I just have to stay positive and keep my faith going.....
God Bless everyone

Okay, I am really being tested over all the stuff I have been going thru. recently....So I got a job but I don't start working till November 30th 2011 and I have faith that all will be good but last night my lights got turned off...omg I am so stressed out now I was approved by EAP for my power but because my husband had wrote a bounced check to give us more time on our Nevada Power they say that money from EAP can't go toward my bill for the bounced check... I am so upset because EAP was paying $688 and I was paying $200 to get it turned back on. I can't believe this is happening.....Right when I got a job I swear someone is sending bad energy my way..But I will continue to have faith an keep praying to my heavenly father that he sees us through this hardship thats all I can do at this point.....

 in response to MOM MOM...   Thanks...

Thanks and God Bless

 in response to MOM MOM...   Thank You, I am so excited I was able to sell my bed, I didn't get as much as I was thinking but I am grateful that someone bought my bed. I also have some good news, I was called for an interview for a job and well I have no car at the moment and so I rode my bike to the interview and it went well she said she'd call me back to interview with a second person so I got home at 11am and she called me back and said how about going on another bike ride lol I said sure so she said can you be here by 11:30 of course I can : ) So i jumped on my bike rode it back to the facility and interview for a second time and was told that the administrator really wanted to meet me that she already liked me not even knowing me yet...I was just so excited and when I met her she just had a big smile and said well hello how are you today? ......So she said how would you like to work for our company...I was so excited because this couldnt have come at a better time in my life...I may not have my gas on but I will soon as far as my Power a program called EAP has my application in the pending stage and therefore they say they will not let my power get turned off.....I am really grateful for everything that has been happening and I know my life is slowly but getting back on track..I am so excited : )
Again Thank You for your prayers and I truly know our heavenly father is true and real and all prayers work Thank you, Thank you God Bless

 in response to MOM MOM...   Thank You.....Yes, I too believe that it was god that made this fall happen so that way we know of this tumor that is growing...I believe in everything happens for a reason..some of those reasons I'm still trying to figure out such as why god took there father away from them at an early age...things like that make me wonder..and so far I still haven't gotten a reason why..my daughter that has the tumor she has a lot of anxiety and is always telling me what if he is out there somewhere mom and we don't know...it just gets hard..It hurts me to see her hurting at this point she has being going through depression..I am looking for a good psychologist to work with her because she really needs help...I know I am a strong woman and I need to stay strong for my children during these ruff times...Today I didn't go to church I couldn't get me and my kids to walk in the cold weather..but good news I have a lady coming over today to look at my dining room table that I am selling...I never wanted to sell it but there comes a time like this when you have no choice...So I am hoping and keeping my fingers crossed she will buy my Dining table it is worth $2200 and I am selling for $700 and I am selling my king size bed which is worth $3800 with double pillow top mattress for only $1200 My kids are telling me mom don't sell your bed or our dining table but I tell them I have no choice right now..It kills me but I have to do what I have to do..I just want to say thanks for taking the time to reply to my post and I will definitely look into these programs...Thank You & god Bless you

If anyone decides to help my family out...I forgot to say that I have a pay pal account edelgado@yahoo.com in my last post..I have faith in my heavenly father and if these are trails that have been sent to me....I just ask why so much at once??? I am an active church member and I have faith...but it never seems as if something tries to keep me away from church..I was given a recommend from my Bishop to go to classes so I can prepare to go to the church Temple and for some reason I was going to all my classes and strike something happens..I no longer could attend those classes...Then now that I am active again and going strong all these things start to happen...1st my daughter falls and hurts her knees and during the xrays they find a tumor growing in her femur and doctor want to so surgery during Thanksgiving Break..We have faith that this will not be a bad tumor...2nd Me and my husband are not able to find a job so there for we are not going to be able to afford Christmas...but as long as we are together we are happy...3rd Just last night things couldn't have gotten any worse...my car got repossessed ..all I could do was cry then I told my self what is crying going to do...So I brushed my self off this morning and told my self okay my faith in my heavenly father is going to help me get through this hard time I know these are trials and I think why so much..but I know this is going to make my family stronger...I just can't let go of my faith!!!!

OMG what more can happen...my car just got repo'd.....I have always kept it together in rough times..but this time I just couldn't I cried my eyes out and felt like I couldn't breath..what I am I going to do???I told myself...what am I going to tell my kids in the morning....Please I am begging someone out there to please help me out in this situation..that was my only transportation...I can sell someone my king size bed with a set of double pillow top mattress in excellent condition no stains or rips only about 2 years old....I will even sell my very beautiful dining table with 6 chairs and a leaf to go with it ...I will even trade those items for a cheap car..I just can't be without transportation...edelgado2005@yahoo.com

I am just so fed up with trying to get help from local resources here in Las Vegas. I only receive survival benefits and I am just trying to get help with turning on my heating source which is gas $220 and I have been to several places no luck.. I have also tried to get on welfare assistance just to catch up on my bills mind you I have 6 kids and they say I don't qualify because I receive survival benefits for my two older children..this is so frustrating I also have sent out in the past two weeks over 50 resumes and applications and no call backs...I don't qualify for unemployment because I was self employed so I am just so frustrated..I am just thankful that I don't have to pay rent thanks to a dear friend of my husbands that has allowed my family to live in one of his home for a year so that way we wouldn't be on the streets without him I don't know where we would be..sorry I am just venting and I know I am not the only one suffering like this...I just have to keep having faith...what else can I do???I would love any suggestions as to what I can do to help out my family I am open to any suggestions

 in response to granfurious...   Unfortunately that might be the case but I have to at least give it a try. I have faith that someone willing will and with a heart will feel my need and offer to help my family out.
