If you know of any terminally ill, chronically ill or special offer children or young adults who are in need of some fun and a break from the doctors visits and medical treatment then you need to know there are people out here who want to make that happen. The USSA - CHILDISH grants hunting and fishing wishes for these children and young adults. There wishes usually consist of a three or four day vacation which is totally paid for. I personally am representing this non profit organization is because they granted a hunting wish for my son and it made a huge impact on our lives. The people you encounter are the most caring,giving and wonderful people you'll ever meet. They restored our outlook on life and the people we cross paths with in life, They bring a peace of mind over you and give yet the inspiration you and your family all desperately need going through this time in life, If this is something that would benefit someone dear to you, please contact me: Sherry Gilbreath email slvance3@gmail.com

Things just seem to go downhill at a slow pace. If you can listen to that song by Miles Syrus The Climb. That's how I feel about life in general. I still am asking anyone who may be able offer any type of help please contact me. my email is slvance3@gmail.com THANK YOU SO MUCH
Im in need desperately. Every week lately has been filled with stress and constant worry. Thats why im needing help. I have a very ill son who is in End Stage Renal Failure and requires Dialysis 3 times a week. We live in East Tx and his dialysis is in Dallas Tx, round trip its about 120 miles and we make that trip 3 times a week. I never know from one week to the next how I will get the money for gas to make the drive. Then I have to figure out how I will get groceries for the week. I am not able to work a full time job due to being at dialysis 3 days a week. I do jobs for family and friends to get us by week to week, but its been an upiill battle. Its been so overwhelming to say the least. I hate the fact that my ill son worries if we will have the gas money to get to his dialysis. That should be the last thing on his mind. I pray I will find someone who could help us. I truely appreciate it
***I have called transportation dept. They dont provide transportation where I live. Its a very rural area. We dont have a bus line either. They said they can do a contract with me to reimburse me every month. Im doing that but it will be 4 to 6 weeks to get first check.
Justin is now in End Stage Renal Failure, his kidney function is down to 7%. He needs a transplant at this point, but his nephrologist says it will never happen due to the Wegeners. So he will be on hemo dialysis for the rest of his life. He goes 3 times a week to Childrens Medical Center in Dallas Tx, we live in East Tx. Its tough, we have no vehicle so we have to rely on family and friends for transportation. Im needing help with gas money. So anyone who may be able to make a donation it would be very much appreciated. Any amount, even a dollar would help. My paypal account is slvance3@gmail.com. If you need our address leave me a message. Thank you all and god love you all.
Every morning when we awake the first thing we should do is go to the mirror and smile at ourselves and say Good Morning.. Thats the first step to starting a "Good Day" and as the day progresses you pass that smile on to other people, smiling does have a "ripple effect". You should look at yourself in a mirror and tell yourself "I love you", therefore you can pass that love on.
Acts of kindness can be a smile, a hello, or holding the door open for someone and these Acts of Kindness can be passed on and have many ripple effects. People just take that fact for granted sometimes, there isnt enough kindness in this world today.. So, I say to everyone reading this spread kindness and remember it all starts with YOU!
Hi Sheshe, I know its been a while since ive been online.. Justin is doing dialysis 3 times a week now... Its an hour and half drive there, then 5 hours on a machine and then another hour and half home... I wish I had a laptop so I could be online while there, because I miss all of my friends...Plus Justins heart isnt doing well now as well... This disease is just slowly taring away at him...
We have both been so depressed, I feel Justin is tired of fighting and im scarred of losing him.... I miss you friend... Love ya, Sherry
Hi SheShe and Rosie... When Justin was first diagnosed almost 3 years ago Make a Wish sent him on a shopping spree... At that point in time he was not in End Stage Renal Failure and he never dreamed he would be where he is with his health is now.. Therefore he just wanted to have those cool clothes and shoes all the other kids had that I wasnt able to do for him.. He said now he wished he had of thought it through more... He loves Basketball and loves Hip Hop/Rap Music.... lol... He is free from dialysis on Sat and Sun and Tuesdays.. Hes in dialysis Mon Wed and Fridays.... THank you both for caring.
Oh FI, im so sorry to hear about your daughter, We share the same pain.. My son is as your daughter as good as it gets and the rest is downhill.. I know its just a matter of time that he will not be here with me, I just cant bare the thought..
We make each day count the best we can, I cant show him enough love.... God Bless you and your family...
Hi Michlc51... I read your comment, I do agree to an extent.. Some people may not find the help materialisticly that they are in need of.. But there are some amazing people who will point you in the right direction... Personally, I have met some wonderful people who have emotionally and mentally helped me through a very hard time in my life right now.... And thats what means the most to me..
God love you and Halie Karol.. It is hard for others to understand the pain you go through when you have a child who is terminally ill unless you have been there yourself.. Im serious, if you ever need a friend I am here...
I know, the holidays cause you to stress out even more, I am so overwhelmned... But regardless we hang in there.... Dont we?! Take care.. Sherry
Im reaching out for Christmas help for my terminally ill son Justin. I am posting his Walmart wishlist and the registry number for it... If anyone can help out it would be greatly appreciated and NEVER forgotten.... This could possibly be his last christmas here and id like him to have one, even if it is small....
I am not able to work due to his dialysis in Dallas 3 times a week... For those who dont know about Justin. He is my terminally ill son who has Wegeners Granulomatosis and is in Stage 5 Renal/Kidney Failure... Thanks everyone!
**** Justins Walmart Wish List****
Go to walmart.com and to registry and wish search.. Type in J Sherrill and then when you see Justin Sherrill click on it to see his wish list... The registry number for the wish list is 80523088179 if you look it up at a store...
Today has not been a good day for Justin, he has been so sick.. He cant eat and if he does he gets sick. I hate seeing him like this, wish I could just take it all away and put it on myself.. I love him that much...
Please, if anyone knows where I miight get some help for some new clothes that fit him let me know. He keeps dropping weight and hasnt got many clothes that fit.. I would greatly appreciate it...
Thank you sheshe... Well today has not been a good day, he has been very ill.. He has no appetite and cant eat. He takes 24 to 26 pills a day, so im sure that doesnt help matters.. He is very depressed, but who wouldnt be..
I spend a lot of time watching him sleep, wondering what he must be going through mentally and emotionally.. I know what I go through as a mother and its pure hell... So, it has to be the same for him I suppose..
I am still searching for things I can do that would brighten his day... Some memories for him that are positive.... You know he is 18 and never been to a concert.... Little things like that eat me up as a parent. He has lost a lot of weight 70 pounds in 6 months and needs some clothes that fit him... Im financially not able to get him new ones right now.. It makes me feel like a horrible mom...
I will give him that hug and let him know your praying for him. Thank you so much..
Hi, I wish there was some monetary help I could give you, but im having money problems too. Im sorry to hear about your loved one has cancer. I know it is tough on you and the whole family. I have a terminally ill son and its hell, I understand your feelings and pain.. All I can offer is a friend to talk to. I will always be here if you need one... Sherry
