Hi
Everyone!!!
Just an
update of what I have been up to lately. God has been good and I have been
blessed.
Although I
am still “homeless,” I have been staying with a client in a room next to her
with my two dogs. She has mild Alzhiemers and it has been a challenge, but for
now it is has been rent free. I just miss my personal stuff and can’t wait till
I get my stuff back. The church is working on a project where if we can find a
2/1 place for $500, they will pay for it. It will room myself and another
homeless church member. However, we of course, have to meet the criteria's,
which is finding work and being on our own. I still have funds from a
fundraiser statched away to help to get into a place as such. Although I have a
mailing address, I don’t have a home address, or my own bed to sleep in,
etc...etc..
Please
don’t jump, but they think the cancer may have returned. They are still trying
to determined the (5) lesions in my lungs as well. So we are going to a second
opinion and proceed with Chemo/Radiation if need be. I will know more by the
end of the month more information. I no longer have the SUV. It could not be
saved. So I am using the bus to get around as well in my well days, Jayne
(Judy’s daughter with us) lets me use her car occasionally. But it’s a
blessing in disguise. I am still working on going back to college. Had to
appeal my financial aid. Its amazing how something stupid you did 20 plus years
ago comes back to haunt you. Vocational Rehab is also working on my job
search. We just got a report that due to my health, I can only work part time.
(ugh!)
Instead of
working with the youth at our church this year, I am concentrating
on a new campaign I started in Tim’s
memory. It is call: Tim’s RUB YOUR HEAD Campaign. Tim use to
love to have his head rubbed. It brought much joy to him. To be honest, and you
can laugh but I am being honest, but whenever I rubbed his head, the look on his
face was like he was having an orgasm. Yes. Really! But any way, the campaign
is in his memory. And I pray and hope that you as my family and friends will
work together with me to make this successful.
The
Campaign works on several projects that makes a difference in our community. We
are having a fundraising on
October 18- Homecoming week for JUDY’s
HOUSE. A home built in the 40’s use to be a ranch that owned acres
of land and cattle. Well, there are still a lot of originals...including door
knobs that desperately need to be fixed. To me - a fire hazard. The project
will be worked on November 9 by volunteers from the church and
community. The second project is to raise as much funds as we can for the
MS
Society. For many years we concentrated on Timothy. Well he is
sadly gone now. So now we work on other family members who does need our
attention for a cure. So on March 1, (Tim’s anniversary
date of his death) we will be dumping funds for the MS Society in honor of my
uncle and sister and the many out there who suffers from this disease. The (3)
third project is raising funds for the DUCHENNE MEMORIAL WALL.
Like a veteran wall, we are going to recognize our DMD boys, we have begun the
fundraising project and we are still working on this page & the 4th project
is for April 3 (Tim’s birthday), we are going to raise
funds for the Homeless
shelter.
So start to
lovingly rub your heads and raise funds for your community in memory of Timothy.
You can choose any project to be your’s and focus on that one date. Remember
Timothy by doing something in your community and make a difference today! For
additional information,you may visit his website at: www.rubyourheadcampaign.com
So the next
question is for family...How are you doing? one of the things I talk about in
my blog this is just not my journey. But yours too. Since loosing Timothy, how
are YOU doing? We all know how I’m doing. Not only dealing again with the
cancer scare, I am still (heavily) grieving. Its like the shockness is wearing
off and it does hit me hard. I have had so many losses this year. But I look
forward to hearing from you.
Well I do
hope everyone has a wonderful October. We will be working on the yard this
week. Fun! fun! fun! lots of fresh air and sun....& lots to be thankful for.
“We are here, everything around us is pretty good and we are ok..”...that is I
tell Judy several times a day. I AM OK!! No matter
what stones satan throws at me, like David, I will beat this Goliath. I hope
you are in it with me.
Safe hugs
to all!
