Campaign Story
Needless to say, my choices as a mother has had effects on my children. Despite the set backs and struggle, they have continued to progress in almost every area of wonderful humane characteristics. Unfortunately, for my youngest, She has had so many let down's by the other parent. First her Biological Father moving away before she was a year old, only to start a new family that the step-mom calls her a "issue" from his past drinking years. Last visit he came 1000 miles with her to try to get support lowered when it only got raised and told my daughter, basically "it's what she says". Then her Step Dad and I got a Divorce and he is the one that she called Dad. She has forgone any boyfriends or drugs, dealt with bullying but went through some trouble. But doubled her grade point average and has held it for 2 years now. She has also put in over 300 hours of community service in the last 16 months. I haven't the heart to tell her I have not recovered from the divorce, adultry was hard, especially when I grew up military and that is where the affair happened. Needless to say, I have struggled with depression and depleted any savings. Everything I have now is going toward her tuition, but we must at least meet this deadline. She was so excited to be accepted to St. John's University. She is stuborn and it might finally pay off, lol ( parents, you know what I mean :)) For Thanksgiving one year, She and I went to 100 houses to give out more efficient light bulbs to all our neighbors. She was the only one really excited. She has always been that way too. Any donation will come back 100 X more when she finishes her education in the field of medicine. My email is [email protected] if you have any questions directly. :)

Update posted by JoAnne Berg at 12:45 am"My education goals are to further research in the neuroscience field. Ever since I was young, my mother got intense migraines, so I was interested in the brain and its functions on us as a person. I have been working my hardest to absorb as much information in this field. . . . .
