I am a single mom of a 16 year old son who is terminally ill with a disease called Wegeners Granulmatosis.  I am not one to ask for charity, but this year I have swallowed my pride to do just that.

I am currently unemployed due to Justins hospitalizations over the last year.  We have lost EVERYTHING, right down to our home and vehicle. We have been staying with friends for several months now, even though it is not a home of our own it is a warm place to lay our heads.

I cant begin to tell you how overwhelmed I am emotionally and mentally, anyone who faces the fact your child is dieing can understand where I am coming from.  I lost my son James six years ago and now I am losing Justin. I keep faith that a miracle will happen, because faith and hope are the two things we do have.

It kills my soul  to know that Justin may face christmas morning with nothing.. I dont know what to do or where to turn to.. If anyone could offer me any help or lead me in the right direction to anyone who could help me out I would greatly appreciate it.

God Bless,

Sherry Gilbreath

Hi Wizard! First off, I think what you have done with this site is amazing. Thanks to you and all involved in your orginzation who put their help out here for people in need. There should be more people like you in this world. I would like to send a hug and a prayer to every and each person on this site who are genuinely going through hardships and for them to know that there is someone out there who knows the pain and overwhelming feelings that go with it. My son has a rare disease and we are facing the fact that he may only be here with us another year or less and it is tough on Justin and I, but we pull through it somehow because we have eachother.. I also want to tell people we all have one thing and that is HOPE! I have a aidpage here if there is anyone who would like to know my situation, I would be so thankful for any help I could get (even if it is just words). I hope one day I will be an oppurtunity that I could help someone in need. Id like to say to anyone who is being fraudalent on this site that its very cruel and sad to do that to people. You are causing so much distrust. Its those type of people who make it hard for the ones who truly need help and you make it hard for others to trust the ones needing help. In my opinion that is the wrong! Thank you for your time and thanks for all and any help you have given to everyone! god bless! sherrygilbreath@hotmai l.com ***Also I would like to add your a handsome man :)

Hi Vista! I just wanted to tell you I think its very nice of you to help others out in their time of need. My aidpage kinda explains my situation.. I was wondering if you knew anywhere in East Tx I could go to for christmas help for Justin(my son) and also any where I can go to for help with maybe housing in my area.. Thank you sherry sherrygilbreath@h otmail.com
