Open to life, I come to you for a chance to add a wider accessibility to my caseload. I attend home births of those women that either cannot afford to/want to go to a hospital or those women that are healthy, yet culturally insistent on traditional birth options. This, in the state of Georgia, is inaccessible to those in the rural areas or areas of the poverty-stricken mountains or the low-lands that have little or no health care. The car will be for access to these areas and the local tribal communities that are not able to come to me. This effort will promote healthier and safer births to those that are not able to get quality health care in the low-lying regions. Right now my caseload is within the local city area as it is accessible to the local public transportation...which is fine...but I have now been asked to come out to reservations and cultural communities that are outside of the bus and train route. My meditation is that I will be able to access these families and get them to the health care they need want and deserve!
Thank you!

i will not give up!i remain hopeful that i will find a secret santa for my 3 children~!They deserve a christmas of some kind,im not gonna sit here and make my story sappier than ever i just posted the facts,their dad left!i need help..........
My name is Brayden. I am writing to you from Heaven. My Mommy and Daddy tried to have a baby for 2 and a half years before they were told that my Mommy's tubes were not open and that she would not be able to get pregnant on her own. They scraped up the money and did in-vitro fertilization and got pregnant with me. At 7 months pregnant my Mommy almost lost her life due to severe pre-eclampsia and they had to take me 8 weeks early. They thought I was so sick due to me being premature but that was not the case. I was not able to breathe on my own or keep my bleed pressure up or keep my heart rate down. The doctors did alot of tests and found out that I had a rare disease called Congenital Central Hypoventilation Syndrome. It means that for the rest of my life I would have had to be on a ventilator and would have probably been in the hospital more than out of it. So after 9 and a half weeks of pain and suffering my Mommy and Daddy let me go to Heaven and now I don't hurt anymore. After some tests they found out that my Mommy had it too and passed it on to me but because she the disease started with her she had no symptoms. They told Mommy and Daddy that they would have no more than a 50% chance of passing it on to another child. So my Mommy and Daddy ran up the rests of their credit cards doing in-vitro again and found out again that they were pregnant. They ran tests on my baby brother to find out if he had the disease and unfortunately he does. Next week at 4 months pregnant my Mommy and Daddy are going to send my brother to me here in Heaven so he doesn't even have to suffer for a minuet. They are devastated and don't know what to do. The only thing they can do now is do in-vitro again but with a donor egg to prevent the disease completely. Please help my Mommy and Daddy have another baby brother or sister for me. They do not have any more money and are struggling to pay off the credits cards from the first 2 cycles and my funeral. My Mommy and Daddy would be so happy if they could just have a beautiful healthy baby to take care of. God Bless you all and thank you so much for your help.
