One of our Ewishingwell users posted a Wish today for some gift cards to some of their favorite window shopping stores. Please read their story below in our user’s own words. (I didn’t want to change one word, so I posted it completely.) The Ewishingwell listing didn’t provide enough space for the whole story. What’s an Earth Hero…you’ll find out if you read the next paragraph?
“Alex LOVES the beach and our Favorite place is www.fskmotel.com, I call it “alex friendly” because my son can be himself without the stares from others! Does my heart good! I used to be able to take my son there. Due to overwhelming water bill/housing bills/necessities, I cannot. My son has been through so much, he asks me for nothing ever! Hello everyone, I am a single mom with a beautiful son with Autism. We are on a very fixed income and Alex is my Earth Hero he LOVES www.fskmotel.comin Ocean City Maryland i’m excited just typing it:) its a guarantee smiles from Alex place:) Alex loves the pool, the boardwalk, merrygoround, pizza:) “brown popcorn” which is carmel corn:) Alex is a true joy and you would never know all he has been through because he never ever complains. Alex has asthma, Brochial Pulmonary Dysplasia, Osteopenia, Cowden’s syndrome which is a disease where Alex Godforbid wasn’t born with the proper proteins to protect him against Thyroid, colon and breast cancer. Last August Alex had his thyroid removed which had 5 large nodules taking the place of his thyroid removed. We live on $674 a month. My son was born at 26 weeks and spent 3 months in Christiana Hospital and another 3 months at AI Dupont Hospital for Children he came home at 6 months old. Before I developed severe preclampsia I used to work for a bank as a Senior Secretary. Alex was delivered by an Emergency C-Section and came home with 14 medicines, 16 hours of nursing, full oxygen, nebulizer treatments, 2 apnea monitors, pulse-ox machine, feeding tube surgically in his stomach. My son is my hero and you would never know how much he has been through. I was told by “educators and doctors’ “Alex will never go to school, eat on his own, breathe on his own, talk, ect. Alex is doing all the above and more! Once Alex was stable and in school i was stricken with Sarcoid and then secondary pigment glaucoma, arthritis, asthma, DVT(blood clots) neuropathy, cervical spine damage and more. Due to my illness I cannot work at all. Thank you and God Bless in advance to everyone! Please help me get Alex to FSK Thank you! Any amount truly adds up and that would truly be awesome if I can get him there with your help:)
But then I thought oh my gosh Alex and I need things, things that so many take for granted because its already in their lives, like clothes and curtains, house things ect, puzzles – things to make life less stressful.”
After realizing this fact, that’s when her wish listing turned into the following:
“Hi! I am a single and proud mom to a young man with Autism and other medical conditions. I have Sarcoidosis and asthma and was recently diagnosed with DVT(blood clots). We love Walmart and since we are very low income my money goes to bills so looking nice and feeling good about it doesn’t happen often. Needed are gift cards for summer clothing, shoes, curtains for privacy (live inner city) swim trunks, lamps, ect from Walmart, Kmart, Target our favorite stores where we love to windowshop but to be able to buy something for us would be amazing! We bring in less than $8,088 a year:( Thank you in advance! I am so excited to know there is a site like this. When I could I love helping others and one day I know I will be able to (praying) but to know there are people helping people I love that!”
