I am asking a favor of you

I am asking a huge favor from all of you.  As so many of you know I am going in for my heart cath and won't be on for a few days.  James will be staying with his adopted grandparents while I am recooperating.  Now for my favor from all of you okay a few of them.  This is child abuse month and with my hospital stays this month my fight for child abuse was not what I had planned so I have a few things to ask from all of you.  You can help me with my fight for this month by doing this...

1.  I am trying hard to get a story on our local news channel if you can please contact them at WAND ask them to do a story on James and our foundation.  They can reach me at 618-322-5924 If all of us contact them maybe they will see how important it is.

2.  If everyone of you can write something anything on child abuse and post the link on this article so I can read when I get back.  Since I am having a hard time spreading the word maybe with all of my connections doing this we can hit someone that needs to be heard. Just think if all of you hold a contest , write a story , anything with the topic child abuse?  Can you imagine how many would be hit that hasn't been yet.  I don't care if it takes me weeks to read all of the content it would help me so much to be that voice I need to be. 

3.  Read Baby James Story and sign Baby James Law pass to everyone you know.  I would love to come back and see 5000 signatures!  You can do that at Baby James Foundation 

4.  Watch my video He's my son if you haven't I found myself watching this a few times this morning.

Please everyone this is important to me not only for myself, James, the foundation but every child that needs our help, our voice.  I can't do this alone recooperating I need all of you on this for this month.  Don't forget to wear those blue ribbons for the rest of the month everyone.  See you in a few days will miss you all.

renne, I wish you nothing but the best and hope that you can spread the word about abuse even further than you have. I have watched Hes my son many times and cry every time! I have also signed Baby James Law and have also let others in my area know about the sight. I hope I have helped you and plan on keep helping! God bless you and James!
Good luck on that hospital stay. I will do what I can.

I just want to send a prayer to the soul of Nixmary Jones, who was beaten to death in NYC by her mom and stepdad, and to the two children whose drugged-out parents who put them in a hot clothes dryer, and finally to the over-400 children just removed from the polygamy ranch in Texas and thus rescued from a future marriage as youn as 14, to a much-older man, who would have raped her repeatedly and robbed them of a normal teenage life.
Miss Heidi M. Apr 18, 2008, 10:55am EDT
I'll do what I can & I wish you a speedy recovery. :)
Bridget ♥ Apr 18, 2008, 10:56am EDT

Donald M. Apr 18, 2008, 11:10am EDT
Renee I will be praying for you. I had a heart cath and it was uncomfortable afterwards but I was in the Hospital for a few days afterwards. Not from that. Something else was wrong too.
Tiffany G. Apr 18, 2008, 11:34am EDT

Denise E. Apr 18, 2008, 11:48am EDT
These children's stories need to be heard. I'll dig up a poem I wrote as a child during my own personal experience and send you a link.
Beverly P. Apr 18, 2008, 12:23pm EDT
I started out helping with a poem I wrote:

Patti M. Apr 18, 2008, 1:02pm EDT
Renee I am praying for you and will pray for success in your fight to pass the law and your fight against child abuse.
Sharon B. Apr 18, 2008, 1:19pm EDT
Hope you get better soon.
Denise E. Apr 18, 2008, 1:26pm EDT
This is the most stunning example of my writing - my grasp on the situation and how publicly my cries for help were ignored. I didn't even express my thoughts on my physical abuse here, only the emotional and was still discounted. I hope this helps to get the children's stores out and heard.

I know this isn't what you wanted to be doing this month BUT you have to take care of you if you're going to continue to be capable of taking care of James and helping all those who are in need of your help.

Hey Renee - I will do what I can to help! Thank goodness that terrible polygamy cult is being brought to an end - those people are going to need a lot of therapy to help them cope with what they have been through.

Hello :o),

I just wanted to stop by since I am finally going through what is now listed as under 4,600 pieces of gather new mail that is sitting in my inbox on here.

With that mentioned I just came across either a mailing from you yourself, or someone else brought this piece to my attention. You or they felt that your creation should be shared with the gather community, which I am very glad that it was passed on to me to view. So I wanted to say Thank you for taking the time out of your busy day to publish it here on gather for us to all view. :o)

As well before I leave you I wanted to wish you a Happy New Year... in 2009 :o)
Nick Howes Feb 1, 2009, 9:42am EST
