Biography
I am 45 years young soon to be 46 (hehe)I now live in Coldwater, MI. But want to relocate to Cheyenne, WY. I have 4 children. 26yr son and his fam.(the one i am trying to move to be near) 25 yr old daughter who is mentaly impaired and still living at home with me, 22 yr old son (married with 2 children n 1 on the way) and last but not least my 17yr old son (also disabled). I was a CNA for almost 17 yrs till it got to much emotionaly for me to handle. I got to close to some of the people i took care of and a few to many of my favs passed away. I Changed to driving a special needs school bus for 5 yrs. AT the same time i learned how to write n design web pages html, dhtml, java, flash and animate which has come in kinda handy lately to help make ends meet. I also love to sew i have planned 2 weddings n made the clothes for it (bridemaids, flower chld n so on dresses, the mens vests n ties cummer bums)I have many health issues now that makes working almost impossible, i can no longer stand long enough to do many of the jobs out there i have bad knees (bone to bone)and now need a wheel chair to get around. There isnt enough room here to list all my medical issues. I love to read, sew, work on my pc. i collect porclin clowns n dvd movies. if you want to know any thing else about me feel free to ask.
My Purpose
I am looking for some help making a move to be close to my family i have money saved just not enough to do this on my own. I was told about this site where i might be able to get some help and my friend told me when i get on my feet i can come back here to pay it forwards and i very much liked that idea.

Need help with Rent and gas for the moving truck.
Description: I have contacted every place i been told about or could think of for help but most are don't have the funds to help me. The place i am in now has loads wrong with it and the landlord refuses to fix anything.
I am disabled living on a limited income (disability)and have 2 other children living at home. I had not had contact with my oldest son in over 5 years till a kind worker at the disability office aided me in contacting him.
Any way we have spoken every day since, I have decided to relocate to the same town as him and his family (which i have not met yet) He has also helped me get sewing work there. The problem is they are in Wyoming and i am in Michigan a 1122 mile move i have some savings and plan to use it along with my disability check which will cover the rental of the truck and my deposit but then i have to find away to pay for the gas for the truck and then the rent on the my place. If any one can help in any way or might have other places i might try for help.

Why? The potential long term impact..
Where i am now is not great and relocating to
be with my son. Would be a dream come true for
me and the rest of my family. I have the
opportunity to get work there even being
disabled. My son even has gotten me work
sewing once i get there.

Improve quality of life
Urgent Health Care
Description: I face the last hurdle before the surgeon will operate. Which is to show them that I have
the special food and vitimans for atleast a month after the operation. The doctor said
that after my bariatric weight loss surgery it is absolutely essential to follow specific
bariatric eating guidelines that will ensure that I properly heal and obtain adequate
nutrition.
My progress: i have one more meeting with life style management classes. i exersize every day and
follow a special diet plan the dr wants. I go to he support group and exersize classes
like the dr wants. The dr wanted me to lose atleast 20 to 30 pounds before he wold
operate. I have lost 31 so far and still have over a month to my surgery.
This is a short term need assistance request for 3 adults
My message:i need this badly but cant affordthe special food and vitimans. it takes almost all my money just to pay the bills and a lil more food cause i do not get much food stamps.
