So I have yet another tale of illness and the lack of means to do anything about it. So many times people get ill and you think a couple days rest and lots of fluids and it will get better. Well, not always....


   I know this mother who has been ill for about 3 weeks now and can't get to a doctor. All she wants to do is get better but as of right now she's lost her hearing for the last 48 hours. Fevers, nausea, aches, pains and yet because she is the one that takes care of her children and family; she doesn't get that break that a lot of other people do. She trys to go to the doctor but she can't because she has no means to do so. Emergency room isn't an option either....that just piles up the bills and makes living even harder. 


   All she wants is to raise her children and occasionally she wants to get over being sick. For whatever reason the bureaucratic tape that only lets the lucky ones through to get the help they need. This woman isn't just suffering an infection she also has ongoing health issues that require regular attention. But lo and behold there's no end in sight for this family. 


   There are so many people and family's in this desperate situation. Even with new health care people talk about a lot of people still slip through the cracks and have no way to get the health care they need. These hard working people and their family's' work themselves sick and still get no help. 


  That's why I've started collecting donations for Family's in Distress. These aren't people looking for handouts or trying to take from others. The family's I'm trying to help don't have the best cars or cable T.V. Just hard working people that get stuck choosing between the doctor and the bills. You can't very well get health care and keep food on the table at the same time. 


   That's why I'm getting the word out and trying to help people the only way I know how. Share this, let your friends and family know these family's are still out there and need help. 


 Thank you for reading.
