OT:really hate to ask, really

I hate coming on my home board and asking this but she's from Ky and I thought if I posted this to the main boards I should at least post it here. Please don't yell at me. I love u guys! Heres the post from the main boards. Hello everyone. How are u all on this beautiful Sunday afternoon? I have to ask u all a question that I have no right too but I'm going to ask anyway. I pray no one gets offended cause this is coming from my heart and I truly don't mean to offend anyone or do anything wrong. A friend of mine and a fellow OH member Armilda Williams and her family are having a real hard time right now. Her husband got diagnosed with Lukemia a month or so ago. He's on treatments and they're trying to get him on disability (I don't know if a person can get on disability for that but they're trying). He hasn't been able to work since he got sick. The question I have no right to ask is would anyone be interested in playing Santa with me for their son, Bryce? He's 7-9 yrs old (I'm not sure) and they're not going to be able to have Christmas this year. He can't understand that daddys sick and she's supposed to start a job this next week but not sure how that will work out with her driving him back and forth from Bowling Green to Louisville for his treatments. I know that theres more people than them having a hard time and no one has to help, I won't be offended at all if no one wants too. I know we all have hard times some times. With Adam being off work since our accident it hasn't been easy but then again we are blessed in many ways and don't have it as hard as some. I plan on sending Armilda a walmart gift card for her and her husband and I'm going to go get Bryce some sort of toys. He loves that movie Cars and everything to do with it. They're nice people and I can't do alot for them cause I can't afford it but I'm going to send them something. I thought and I hate like crazy to ask, but I thought some of u might want to send something too. If not, say a prayer for them. They're putting something in her husband George's head for him to get his treatments easier. If u want to help just email me at [email protected] or PM on here. Heres the link to her page if u just want to sign it and give them some moral support. She hasn't had alot of time for the boards since he got sick. Thanks and I hope no one flames me, I really am sorry for asking. They've just been on my mind this afternoon. Hugs Angela http://obesityhelp.com/morbidobesity/members/status.php?N=W1 109303329

Angela, It sounds like a great idea. It's always better to give than receive. I sent you an email for your home address so be checking for it. Susan

Thank u so much Susan. I'm a giver. I'd rather give someone something. That makes me happier than getting stuff. Thanks again Angela

It is with a heavy sick heart that I write this to u. I am so ashamed of myself right now. I let my friends know that I had posted about helping them with Christmas and they weren't even appreciative. It really humbled me that so many wanted to help but when I told her she was like "really, thats good, Bryce likes xbox games, he wants a brand new one" That just killed my heart. I was just devastated. I came on here asking people to help them because I felt so badly for them. For their son. He doesn't understand why daddys sick and I just wanted him to have a Christmas. Well, use your own judgement. I've given u the addy and if u still want to help then God Bless ya. I will still send something cause I'm a soft hearted idiot that can't stand to see a child suffer even though his parents aren't appeciative. I was so humbled for the responses I got the other day. Again I am sorry for bringing it up in the first place. I was just floored by her response. I thought she would be overwhelmed like I was just thinking that someone was going to send her son a toy or a gift card. I am sure that Bryce would have appreciated the stuff and its up to anyone if they still want to go ahead and send whatever they were going to, but I could not in good conscious let u all do that without knowing this. I am sorry again, I just thought I was doing the right thing by asking for help. It did come from my heart and I was humbled by the generosity and love by the good people on here that have come to be like family to me. Please forgive me for misjudging her and thinking she would be overwhelmed just like I was. I don't know why they weren't. Her grandmothers funeral was today so maybe she just had something on her mind. I don't know. She just seemed so cold and unfeeling about it. I'm just torn up over it. I do thank u, all of u from the bottom of my heart. Love, Ange
