    It's 2:00AM my time and while I should be sleeping I cannot. I just came home from the hospital a few days ago and have all sorts of nifty medicines to help me sleep and none of them are working. My wife is resting as well as I am and frankly we are losing. We care deeply about one another, we care deeply about our kids. We have more love than we have ever had but the life in both of us is starting to fade. I've been active on this community for a bit and I've tried very hard to add value where I could and to help others when I could. Now I'm going to put it all on the line and ask for help. A mother and a father have reached their limit. There is this site Ready To Give Up[^] that I have quickly thrown together. It's a wordpress blog but it does the trick. I'm afraid I won't be blogging much except to say thank you when I can. I have a simple request. Go visit the site. If you can help then I am in your debt if you cannot but you can help by sharing the link and the story then I am also in your debt. If you can do both even better. I have no idea what this post will do to my credibility here as a person and a friend. I guess at this point it doesn't matter. I trust you guys a lot and now more than ever I need some help. I'm really worried about my wife and I and from a health standpoint I don't think we're holding up too well. I was released from the hospital and told to rest and that just isn't happening. So any support I can get would be greatly appreciated. My inspiration in all of this is that "million dollar home page" that's out there. If a kid can do it to avoid college debt shouldn't a father be able to do it to save his family? I'm very sorry if I've abused the lounge and I'm quite certain that this post may very well get me run out of here for good and I'm sorry for that. Best Regards and say a prayer for us! Rex Winn

    Rex, You have the sympathy of my wife, my son and I. I knew where you're at, only it was with me not my son. I was born with a genetic disorder (very rare, affects 1 in 500,000) that causes colon cancer. I have had 4 surgeries for it in the past 20 years and am getting ready for a 5th one, I have had 5 bouts with Chemotherapy (I feel for anyone who has to go through that a single time, let alone 5). When this all came to light my insurance dropped me for a "pre-existing condition" (that was most certainly allowed 20 years ago) and I was left with over $750,000 worth of hospital bills to tend to myself. Unfortunately 20 years ago I didn't have the Internet to turn to, just local media and such. Still I was able to raise over 1/2 of that $750,000 for those bills. I applaud you and your family for your strength, courage and faith under fire, to fight tooth and nail for your child is the only thing a parent can do, and you and your wife have done it admirably. When I get home from work this evening I will be making a donation of every penny I can spare (and possibly a little more than that as this is truly a worthy cause). So, tie a knot in that rope and hold on, you can get through this,

      There's so much one can learn from you. Your courage is nothing short of extraordinary. I'm not kidding nor making fun here, but this deserves Oprah. I've never made a paypal donation in my life so far, but I've decided that this is the cause to start for. Cheer up. Every sundown brings forth a new dawn.

        I do not think this is abuse of the lounge. I am just starting a new family myself with health problems for her and I, not her son. So I do understand. You did not come presenting this at the first sign, giving up. You tried to stand on your own, you did everything you could. I can hope that I will do as well, you are an inspiration to all, your courage is great in the face of such odds. It is hard to ask for help for many of us. My grandfather, who was the only father I ever knew, was much the same way. He helped raise three grandkids while putting one daughter back into college so she could stand on her feet, and the other daughter with medical issues at the time. I wish he were still around to ask for advice, for both of us. I will talk to my fiancee and see if we can spare a small amount. It cannot be much as we too have medical bills now, I just took her to the ER briefly last weekend. Still, so far, I am keeping my head above water. Though my fiancee often asks if I am sure I want to marry her because of the expense. Love is worth the effort. Take care, and be well, Rex. I hope that word can get out enough to save your family. Your courage is an inspiration to all of us. Just me, Jeff

              Rex, your courage is awesome. I will give 10 hours of my programming time to any one or any company that is willing to send you $100 US. Anyone interested, please send me email.

              Best wishes, Hans

                I feel so very sorry for you, I can imagine how bad this must be as a father myself, it must be truly dreadfull, so please understand what I am going to say comes form this point of view. Do you think perhaps that life might not be feasible in the long term for your daughter? In other respects I hope the fund raising goes well. If not, another solution is for you to get a position in Europe which as a tax payer will give you free medical care. It could be worth it for a year or two.

                Not really feasible with regulations due to lots of 'medical tourists' even though in this case I would support it.

                  For once in my life, you have given me a real link I can forward to my friends and ask them to participate in what ever manner possible. I shall donate as much as I can. I can imagine how much you must have gone through and I would say your one courageous never give up attitude guy. Seeing the response to your message and the votes you have got, just goes to show your credibility here as a friend, we are with you and come talk to us when you need someone.

                        Rex, I've been watching all the great replies you've been getting here. Last time I looked you had 21 votes, all fives! You have a lot of fantastic friends here and I am proud to count you as one of mine. But... I've also noticed that some unkind person (or people) have started to vote down your initial post. Quite frankly, I think that is dispicable. Anyone doing that should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves. Now, that I've posted this, I'm going to put your link in my signature to keep you in our thoughts.

                          I can hope that it was a mistake, pressing the wrong button. But maybe I am not as much of a pessimist I claim to be. :) If this is not the case, I agree whole-heartedly.

                            I do not think this is abuse of the lounge. I am just starting a new family myself with health problems for her and I, not her son. So I do understand. You did not come presenting this at the first sign, giving up. You tried to stand on your own, you did everything you could. I can hope that I will do as well, you are an inspiration to all, your courage is great in the face of such odds. It is hard to ask for help for many of us. My grandfather, who was the only father I ever knew, was much the same way. He helped raise three grandkids while putting one daughter back into college so she could stand on her feet, and the other daughter with medical issues at the time. I wish he were still around to ask for advice, for both of us. I will talk to my fiancee and see if we can spare a small amount. It cannot be much as we too have medical bills now, I just took her to the ER briefly last weekend. Still, so far, I am keeping my head above water. Though my fiancee often asks if I am sure I want to marry her because of the expense. Love is worth the effort. Take care, and be well, Rex. I hope that word can get out enough to save your family. Your courage is an inspiration to all of us. Just me, Jeff

                                It's 2:00AM my time and while I should be sleeping I cannot. I just came home from the hospital a few days ago and have all sorts of nifty medicines to help me sleep and none of them are working. My wife is resting as well as I am and frankly we are losing. We care deeply about one another, we care deeply about our kids. We have more love than we have ever had but the life in both of us is starting to fade. I've been active on this community for a bit and I've tried very hard to add value where I could and to help others when I could. Now I'm going to put it all on the line and ask for help. A mother and a father have reached their limit. There is this site Ready To Give Up[^] that I have quickly thrown together. It's a wordpress blog but it does the trick. I'm afraid I won't be blogging much except to say thank you when I can. I have a simple request. Go visit the site. If you can help then I am in your debt if you cannot but you can help by sharing the link and the story then I am also in your debt. If you can do both even better. I have no idea what this post will do to my credibility here as a person and a friend. I guess at this point it doesn't matter. I trust you guys a lot and now more than ever I need some help. I'm really worried about my wife and I and from a health standpoint I don't think we're holding up too well. I was released from the hospital and told to rest and that just isn't happening. So any support I can get would be greatly appreciated. My inspiration in all of this is that "million dollar home page" that's out there. If a kid can do it to avoid college debt shouldn't a father be able to do it to save his family? I'm very sorry if I've abused the lounge and I'm quite certain that this post may very well get me run out of here for good and I'm sorry for that. Best Regards and say a prayer for us! Rex Winn

                                Rex, I am very sorry to hear of this huge burden that you and your wife have had to endure; both personal and financial. Yet despite all that, you have been more vocal and given more back to this community than most of the people here that have three times the amount of 'free time' as you, and nowhere near the level of stress and responsibility. In that respect, you are certainly someone to admire. As a Father, I can only imagine what you and your wife must be going through. My 3rd, and last, child will be here within a month or so, and I am always fearful of the unknowns. {removed my political ramblings - something ya don't need to hear at a time like this} God's Speed my friend, I am sharing your story.

                                  Rex, I've been watching all the great replies you've been getting here. Last time I looked you had 21 votes, all fives! You have a lot of fantastic friends here and I am proud to count you as one of mine. But... I've also noticed that some unkind person (or people) have started to vote down your initial post. Quite frankly, I think that is dispicable. Anyone doing that should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves. Now, that I've posted this, I'm going to put your link in my signature to keep you in our thoughts.

                                        Not really feasible with regulations due to lots of 'medical tourists' even though in this case I would support it.

                                        If he worked in Europe he wouldnt be a tourist, he would be entitled to full medical tratment, and as a programmer, I would expect he could very easially get work here. Heck, if he can write drivers I will give him a job!
