My sister was recently diagnosed with Von Willebrands Disease which is a clotting disorder. My parents have been here for us all our lives and have never stopped giving to us no matter how bad the financial circumstances have been. From my father giving up his time to coach my sister in softball and basketball, to my mother taking my sister to dance and the many doctors appointments, they have always been here for us. Now it is time for me to try to give back to them by asking for $3,000 to help them with the many medical bills that have added up since my sister was diagnosed with this disease last year. Her medicine is $700.00 for 2.5/ML of nose spray. Please help if you feel led in your heart. My father has always said that God will find a way to get us through this.
My Story:
I am an 18 year old male who has always been taught to put the needs of others before my own needs. My parents are in major need and I feel that it is time to give back to them as much as they have given to me in my life. If anyone feels led by God to help out with this I would greatly appreciate it. |

I am needing help with getting things for my household, due to my income I am unable to get everything I need. I am needing a king-size bed and hoping to be able to find a L-shaped desk with a hutch to work from. I am having to leave a lot of other stuff in Washington State due to lack of having the money to afford to move it to California with us.
My Story:
I am a widower/single parent for over three years, now. I was in the military, but being a parent was more important, then a career. I have been struggling to make it every month. I am moving from Washington State to San Pedro, CA to work with Harbor Interfaith Services. I am hoping I have better luck in CA, then I did in WA. |

My son uses Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatments for pain relief that is due to swelling in the brain. Hyperbaric treatments have been the only thing that has kept his pain levels to a liveable level. He has been doing 6 days worth of treatments 2 times a day every 4 months. Insurance will not pay for it. We are fortunate to live close to a non-profit facility but the cost is still aproximately $200.00 a day. He has what is called proxismal pain rages and they are like using a pain scale of 1-10 his level is a 200. His neurosurgeon told us that the type of pain he has is what people jump off of buildings have. If anything I ask for your prayers for relief of pain.
My Story:
I am a mother of 3 children. My oldest is in the Airforce and has been to Iraq 2, headed to Afganastan in a couple of months. My 2 youngest children 18 and 15 have a rare brain abnormality. It is called the trifecta for short and it consists of Chiari Malformation I, Tethered Spinal Tight Thilium cord, Ehlers Danlos. They also have several other problems that also go hand in hand with the trifecta patients such as heart conditions and so on. In the last 3 years we have lost our house and sold most of our belongings. I had to quit my job working in a ER so I could stay at home and care for my youngest that has had 9 brain and spine surgeries in 10 months time. Then the week before Christmas my husband was laid off. We can't afford his uncovered medical treatments. |

Help with Clothes and Food |
Gifts Granted: Shorts and T-shirts (Giving a partial gift
), Angela @ 07/03/09
I have very little food for my daughter. I am doing without and so is my husband so she can have what is left.
Her clothes are so tight and she needs shorts t-shirts and a few dresses.
I wish I had a gift card for Food and some clothes for my daughter.
My Story:
I am married and my husband has been out of work for awhile. He had a good job then he was laid off. He got a job at a temporary agency, but it doesn't start until the 6th of July. I keep telling my daughter that I will get her some food soon we just have to eat what we have and it's just soup right now. She complains everyday that her pants are too tight and wants to know why I can't get her some clothes. I applied for foodstamps and have to wait up too 45 days for a decision. It's frustrating when we cant provide basic needs for our 6 year old. Not even toilet paper. If anyone can help us I have exhausted all resources. The job is great but we need help now.
Thanks and God Bless

My Story:
Chermyra is a 23 year old single mother of a one year-old son. Chermyra lived with her grandmother in San Pedro all her life until age 20 when she was suddenly asked to leave the household. Chermyra then moved in with a friend in LA for 3 months; Chermyra then moved in with her child’s father in LA at his parents and stayed there until the summer of 2007 when she and her son moved in with a family friend in Gardena.
Chermyra stayed with this friend until March 2008 when she moved back to her grandmother’s home. The living situation was not a healthy one for Chermyra and her son so she moved in with another friend in Wilmington in May 2008.
Chermyra Davis entered into the Harbor Interfaith Emergency Family shelter program in September of 2008 with a goal of permanent housing, becoming a Registered Nurse and gaining employment. Chermyra had been attending Harbor College before entering Harbor Interfaith program. She has maintained class courses during her stay; she has followed all program rules, attended Case Management meetings, workshops and all required outings.

We are a big family. My mom has 6 kids, and I am a sigle mother. Since the economy went really low, we decided to move to Bakersfield because we thought we would have a better life over there. When we got over there everthing went worst, so we decided to come back to LA. We came back with nothing; without a bed, without clothes, and my kids now sleep in the floor and the only money I get is from the wellfare and I don't know what to do. If anybody could help me with some clothes, food, bed.
My Story:
My name Rosa my moms name is Carmen Sanchez. Right now I am looking for a job in maintanence or taking care of kids. My mom has a harder chance in finding a job because she can't speak english.
