Hello everyone. I am asking for your help with a very important mission. For those you don’t know, I am a mother. My name is Michelle Glick. I am the mother of three children. This story is about my second child, Matthew Liam Rupe. After a difficult pregnancy Matthew was born at 22 weeks gestation. He weighed 15.6 ounces and was 10 inches long. I had a blood clot in my uterus the whole time I was pregnant and the doctors didn’t know what to do. I was told to terminate the pregnancy. I didn’t even consider it. Matthew was born on March 19, 2004. He would be 4 years old soon. Prematurity is a growing problem. Every year 500,000 babies are born too soon. Many of these babies die or face lifelong health problems. I want to make sure that no family has to suffer the pain that me and my family endured and still do. What I can do is honor my sons memory and the memory of those who have passed on. I hope none of you have experienced this terrible tragedy. I also walk for the healthy babies in my life as can you. Every year, I walk in the March of Dimes Walk America. The logo has changed now to March for Babies but it is still the same mission. I am walking to raise money for research, advocacy and medical advances so that all babies will have a chance to grow up healthy and happy. I have a website set up to raise funds for my team. The link is www.marchforbabies.org/momtoanangelboy. There is a picture of my son on the site. Please help and be thankful for the healthy baby in your life. It could even be you! Thank you everyone. If you would like more information please e-mail me at mommyofchassidy@yahoo.com

God bless,

Michelle Glick

I am in need of someone to write a Research proposal for my Research 1 class. I am a sophmore in college majoring in psychology. This semester has been overwhelming. I found out that I have cervical cancer. I am supposed to only have 1 semester left. I need to do this for my kids. My course load is overwhelming and finals are coming up. I already had to drop my algebra class. I am a single mom working and going to school. I have 3 large papers due. This one is really stressing me out. I need a 15-25 page research proposal in APA format. I must have 10 sources. My topic is on proactive interference. I need to set up an experiment using student resouces that I can carry out in research two. I need to write about how I will carry this out and what I expect the results to be. College means everything to me. (Besides my babies) If anyone out there especially psychology majors could write this for me and e-mail it to mommyofchassidy@yahoo.com by December 8 I would be eternally greatful. I am not trying to cop out of it, I am so overwhelmed and just need help this once. It would make a HUGE difference in my life and the lifes of my kids. I can't afford to pay much but if you are willing to help, we could work out something. Thank you and God bless.

YESTERDAY I CAME HOME FROM WORK AND THERE WAS A NOTE ON MY KITCHEN TABLE FROM MY KIDS FATHER AND BOYFRIEND OF 7 YEARS. HE PACKED UP ALL HIS STUFF AND LEFT TO MOVE TO HIS MOTHERS. MY KIDS ARE DEVESTATED. I HAVE BEEN THE ONLY ONE SUPPORTING OUR FAMILY AND WORKING AT MY NEW JOB AND WORKING OFF OUR FOOD STAMPS. ALL I ASK FOR WAS SOME HELP AROUND THE HOUSE. I AM STILL $1100 BEHIND ON THE RENT AND ELECTRIC BILL AND MY CAR INSURANCE WAS DUE TODAY. I WILL GET MY FIRST PAY CHECK AUGUST 24. MY SONS 2ND BIRTHDAY IS THE 15 AND MY DAUGHTERS 6TH BIRTHDAY IS SEPTEMBER 11. I AM SO DEPRESSED. I WON'T BE ABLE TO HAVE A PARTY FOR THEM. ON TOP OF IT ALL HE TAKES OFF AND LEAVES US IN THIS MESS. I FEEL SO ALONE. I JUST WORK ALL DAY EVEN WHEN I GET HOME AND TRY NOT TO THINK ABOUT IT BUT WHEN IT IS TIME FOR BED I CRY MYSELF TO SLEEP. THANK YOU ALL FOR LISTENING. MOMMYOFCHASSIDY@YAHOO.COM

I am in need of some help. i am trying to access my page from a friends computer. I keep getting server messages. I click on my home page, my messages, my aidpages and everything. The only thing I can access is post a new aidpage. Please help. My e-mail is mommyofchassidy@yahoo.com.

Hello everyone. This will probably be the last time I have internet access. My phone is due to be disconnected and I have dial up. I started a new job but have only gotten 9 of the 15 trainning hours that I need before I start getting paid. I drove my truck to a doctors appointment and put my last $20 in gas. When I got to the hospital I had a horrible gas leak and all my gas leaked out. I couldn't find anyone to help me. My aunt had an apppointment and she saw me sobbing in my truck. She gave me a ride home. That was just the beginning. My landlord left a message on my machine about the rent and electric bill. We owe $480 for June, $400 in rent for July plus a $200 electric bill (we are all electric) and it is almost August. I have been spending my spare time in the woods digging roots with my dad. Yellow root and Koeosh. I dug until my hands bleed. I dug 40 pounds of Koeosh at $1 a pound wet. I got $40 which I used to buy groceries. I went again and I have about 30 pounds drying. It is $6 a pound dry. I have been working really hard and praying, crying and begging. I have 2 kids who love there home and do not want to move. I came from a 2 bedroom roach infested trailer court to a three bedroom 2 bath trailer in the country. I know I rent but I feel this is MY home and I don't want to have to move my kids around every other year. We have been here three years. I have about three semesters left in college and I don't want to drop out. My landlord says to evicted us that it is going to take $300 and she will have to take us to court. She was in a terrible accident and hates to evict us but pretty much said it was coming. My grandparents are elderly and like my parents but my aunt and uncle are already leaching and living with them. I don't want to burden anyone although I know they would love to have us. I am so depressed. i can't eat and I can't sleep. I have lost 10 pounds. I know that my kids need me. I am REALLY doing my best. I don't drink, smoke or do drugs. I still have the same clothes from high school. I am really good with budgeting money. I have had the same tv for 7 years. I lost my son Matthew in 2004. He was born prematurely at 22 weeks. He lived for 2 short days. I am not trying to get anyone to feel sorry for me but I don't know how much more I can take. I am grateful for my children and the time I got to spent with Matthew. I know there are people a lost worse off than me. I help people every chance I get. I am looking for some help now. Please pray for me and my family. My name is Michelle Glick. If there is anyway you could help financialy I would repay you when I got back on my feet. I am legitimate and I wish I had a million dollars and I would help others. My internet will be disconnected in the next few days. Here is my information. Michelle Glick 2162 Addison Pike Gallipolis, Ohio 45631. 740-367-0308 or 740-645-5053. I would never give this out if I weren't in a dire situation.

I would like to take a moment to say thank you to those who responded to my earlier posts. This is an awesome site. Kudos to those who founded it. I am thanful for the love of my children who keep me going. I want to make them proud. I am thankful that I am physicaly healthy and able to work. sometimes life gets me down but I know there is someone worse off than me. Thank you all for listening. if I don't respond to your posts it is because I do not have internet service. The car is still for sale for $400 as well. God bless.

Thank you for your advice. I posted a comment for you on my page instead of yours by accident if you would like to read it. God Bless.

Thank you for your advice. I hope I am putting this message in the right place. I have worked at a nursing home. I recieved my CNA in 2002. I worked at a nursing home for 3 months. I kept getting mandated and I had a young daughter at home. I got laid off and started at Infocision. The pay was the best for this area there and I really liked it. I wanted to go to college and they wouln't adjust my schedule so I had to resign. My cousin lives in NY. he is a pastor there. Pay is low in this small towmn but I do the best I can. I have to work 13 more hours unpaid to get my certificate. I have to get a paycheck with this company because they take the fee for my CPR certification out. It could take a couple months at this rate to get all of that. I can't get another job because I am on call. I do appreciate your advice. Best wishes, Michelle

Hello. I am the mother of two. I live in Gallipolis, Ohio. I am trying to come up with ways to make some money to pay my rent. I recently started a new job. It is with a home health agency. I had to take a week and two days of trainning which was unpaid. I also have to work 15 unpaid clinical hours. My boss just called today and gave me three hours every Tuesday. That is all she has at this time. I will have to work a month unpaid just to get my trainning in. Then, they will hold back a weeks pay. The hours are just part time after that. The pay is only $6.85 an hour. I go back to school August 27. I am majoring in psychology. I only have about 3 semesters left. I lost a child in March 2004 and I want to get my degree and help people who have been through that. If anyone would like to talk who has had or lost a child who was born premature please feel free to contact me. My e-mail is mommyofchassidy@yahoo.com. At this time, I am behind on my bills. I owe $480 for June and $560 for July. All of my information can be verified. I am needing to sell my car cheap to make a payment. It is a white 1987 Ford Tarus. It has 110,600 miles. It has a crack in the windshield and needs a battery or alternator. There is also a powere steeering leak. I need $400 out of it to pay my rent. It does not run at this time so someone would have to pick it up. Please help if you can by passing this along. I am new here and not real sure how this site works. I would appreciate prayers as well. If interested in the car or helping e-mail me and I will give my address and phone number. Thank you.

Hello. I am new at this. I am looking for some short term financial help until I get a paycheck from my new job. I am 25 and the mother of three. Chassidy will be 6 September 11 and Jacob will be 2 in August. My second child Matthew, was born in March 2004 at 22 weeks. He passed away after 2 days. I thank god for every moment that I got to spend with him. I had a good job at a telemarketing company calling for non-profit organizations. After my son passed away, they fired me unfairly. I went back because I had another child to care for. Even though I was told that I couldn't have any more children, I was blessed with Jacob. I worked there and went back when he was 2 weeks old. I was there in all about 3 year. After he was born, I decided that I wanted to go to college and study psychology so I could become a grief conseler and help other parents who had been through the same thing. I ask for an adjustment in my schedule and they refused. I had to resign. I have been attending college and have a 3.8 GPA. I have about 3 semesters left. While I was in college, I would take out a student loan and pay my bills in advance. I am out for the summer until the end of August. I have applied all over this town for jobs. My vehicle keeps breaking down and is in terrible shape. I finally got a job with a home health agency. I have to take 9 days of unpaid trainning. Then, I have to do 15 unpaid clinical hours. I did 2 yesterday with another aide. The other 13, I do by myself. The company has no idea when they are going to give us our hours. Then, once I start work, they hold a week back. My fiance' has lost his job and is looking for work. His car is broken down right now. When I go back to school, I can get a student loan. It wouldn't be here till mid September. We owe $480 for June and $560 for July. Our family isn't much help. I have tried the Department of Jobs and Family Services. If anyone could help or give me some ideas or websites I would be very greatful. I am not looking for handouts just a little help until my job gets stable. My e-mail address is mommyofchassidy@yahoo.com. If anyone would like to help I will give you more information through e-mail. Thank you all and God bless.
