I’m ready.
So my wife and I keep my cousin’s little boy, Jax on the weekends. He’s 16 months old and the cutest thing ever. The wife and I have been talking about starting a family for some time now, but she’s been doubting that I’m truly ready to have kids. I wasn’t so sure either. But now I am, I know I am. I know I want kids. And I know I want kids with her. When we have Jax, I feel complete. When we take him back to his parents, who aren’t very good parents, I feel like a piece of me leaves with him. I don’t want to take him back, ever, but I know I can’t keep him. So I’m ready to have my own. One that I don’t have to return. One that nobody can take from me. One that will always be there to fill that void in my heart. So yeah, I’m ready. Sorry guys, just felt like sharing that. It’s important to me. We are about to take a big step in our marriage and in our lives. And honestly, it can’t happen fast enough.

Hey everybody! My name is Ariel, and I am so excited to be attending Grand Valley State University in the fall!
However, due to my financial situation, I need to come up with about $6,000 dollars if I don’t want to take out unsubsidized student loans.
My mother has, for the past several years (maybe even longer, I don’t know), has had a heroin addiction. Not only has it robbed my sister and I of what should have been a great childhood, but has also (as anyone who has lived with someone with an addiction can probably attest to) robbed my family financially. If there was ever any money set aside for me to go to college, it doesn’t exist any longer.
Things got worse, however, when back in January, my mother was staying in a rehabilitation facility. Just a couple days after checking in, she checked herself out, went across the street and carjacked a poor man’s truck and ran him over with it, taking him from his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.
Now, she has to pay for her actions, but now my sister’s life and my own have been flipped upside down.
Within the matter of days, we had everything we had known taken away from us. We weren’t allowed to live at home with our step-dad (because of family drama), and my father committed suicide in Oct. ‘13, so my grandfather obtained legal guardianship of us both. We now live in a house of 6 people, 4 of them teenagers (myself being the oldest which means being the first to go off to college).
Financially, we have just enough money to get by, and not really any extra money to help go toward my college education, and even if we had enough for me, my family has to start putting 3 more kids through college over the next 5 or so years.
Any kind of contribution will help immensely. Everyday I meet more people who are truly good, kind and compassionate, and it really helps to know these people are in the world when times get tough. Even if you cannot donate money, sharing my page to those who can is just as good a help as any and I thank you so much for what ever you can do assist.
As much as I don’t want to put myself out into the world like this, I know that sometimes a person just needs to ask for help.
can u imagine how hot id be if i ate right and took care of my body
i’m not gonna do it but can u imagine

Chronic illness is so different from “regular illness.”
No one is running medicine and soup over to your house when you say you don’t feel good. No one is running you to the hospital when you’re crumpled up in pain. Doctors don’t run around you ordering immediate tests and skipping lunch to go over your results.
You’re not excused from anything. You’re just expected to go about your life with way less spoons than everyone else has. If you’re in pain, you hide it, because it’s not a rare occurrence. If you need a doctor’s appointment, well the next one’s in five weeks at a time/day that you need to cancel all your plans for. And if you can’t make that one, well the next ones in 3 months. Need some tests done? We’ll order one at a time, and they’ll take a few weeks to have a spot open for you. Then a few more weeks to get the results. Medicine?! You don’t need medicine. You get through school/work just fine. Not like we’d know what to prescribe you anyway. And not like it’d actually help. Have you tried some Advil? Tums? You’ve had this for how many years? You must be used to it. We need to focus on the people coming in with NEW pains. Pains we may actually have a diagnosis for, and not just a coverall name.
