Johnny:
I am writing to you because I need some help. I have two wonderful girls, for the last 4 years they get to choose the one gift they want for Christmas. (as long as it is not too much) and every year they don’t complain. It breaks my heart not being able to get them more. This year I don’t know that I can even get them one. I am a single mother and like so many others I got my hours cut at work. We moved into a cheaper house but I am still struggling with the bills. A month ago I took my daughter to the doctor and they found some lumps in her throat. They did an ultrasound but wanted a better look so they sent us to get a CTscan. The doctor told us it could be cancer or swollen glands because she tested positive for mono and strep throat. She had these knots before this. Anyway he told us to come back in a month. I called Childrens mercy hospital and talked to a nurse down there. She was very nice and spent a total of an hour on the phone with me. She told me they could not get her in until February. She called me back and said that they would like to look at her reports and if they saw a need to see her sooner they would let me know. Her records were faxed last week and within 2 hours they called and said they wanted to see her Dec 22. I’m a little freaked out. She is 16 and beautiful she is a straight A student and she wants to be a surgeon. I am trying to keep positive because she needs me to, But most of the time I could fall apart. So to make a long story short we will find out 3 days before Christmas whether or not she has cancer. Johnny more than anything I would like to be able to give her a good Christmas. I don’t need much just enough to get her a gift. She is my baby and the thought of her having to deal with this is killing me. I know there are people that need help more than me but I would like to give my baby girl a present for Christmas. I’ll understand if you can’t help and I thank you for listening and everything you do.
