Many members have messaged myself and others about making a contribution  to a foundation in Nick's name,


In Nick's name we would like to donate to:  The American Liver Foundation.    

We would like to do this as a group. If someone in the forum has experience with Pay pal we think this would be a good way to go any help we receive would be greatly appreciated..

If you would like to donate private I am including the link to the American Liver Foundation:

Rita - That's great - keep me posted on where to send it.

Elaine - So sorry to have missed you again - my heart is breaking for you and my prayers are completely with you. I almost melted when you spoke of the white rose. That is what we had for my step son Jimmy when he died at 14 yrs old and every year we would take a boat out on the water on the aniversary of his death and cast white roses and recite precious memories..he loved the water.

Nick sounds like such a very special beautiful soul and he will always be there with you...The greiving process is so difficult. I was glad that I had a strong support group -Methodist church and family and friends like these wonderfull folks at MedHelp. Keeping journals really helped me. I also had the most wonderful audio tape that I listened to constantly....There are some good sites online if you don't go directly to a councelor. My husband choose not to go and keep it all in - it eventually tore us apart and he was very bitter and withdrawn.
Like anything new - like discovering you have HCV for instance - there is a great shock and then you start to learn as much as you can and the shock becomes proactivity and then comes healing....I am so sorry that you are going through this....It also really helped me by becoming an advocate and I went to schools and did presentations to students and parents about the warning signs of suicide...by helping others and actually saving a few kids lives -  I finally moved past my grief I had created a  mission " To have the 4th R taught in public schools - "Relationship" and spent the next 20 years teaching adults how to communicate - 7 habits, Conflict Management, communication skills etc. The last class I created beofre leaving Warner Bros last year was Transforming Stress into Power....little did i know how much i would need it in this last year.

I'm sorry to elabrate....I have been incapable of typing or even moving my arms for so long...until last night...when the RA moved to my feet that I feel like someone just took the duck tape of my mouth...anyway please let me know if you need any inspirtational CD's or such and I will wade through my trunk of goodies.

Please get the help and spport you need and let us hug you as often as you need...never feel like you have to give us a break...of course we understand your in's and out's...just know if the load gets really heavy - let us help lift it for you.

So the moral to my story is often great things can come out of lose and suffering and it appears it has already begun with this remarkable group....if we can become advocates and influence changes that may some day save a mothers son or a son's mother or each other...what an awesome memorial that would be.

Hugs and prayers,
Mikkimoe

FYI to all:


Many members have expressed to me donating directly to Elaine, I am working with a Bank to set up an account that donations can be made to, In Memory of Nick, The bank would handle all of the donations and then forward them to Elaine directly.  

I am still waiting to hear back from the Bank and will update everyone as soon as I have information.


Peace
Rita

It is great to hear your voice again. I can't tell you how much love and admiration I feel for you. I will certainly consider it an honor to make a contribution in Nick's memory. My heart continues, and will continue, to go out to you. I wish I could reach out and offer you a big hug and a shoulder to lean on.
