July Wish: Mothers Assisting Mothers

JULY WISH: Mothers Assisting Mothers (M.A.M.), Inc. (http://www.ms-mam.org) is a non-profit Christian outreach organization, serving mothers with Multiple Sclerosis. Supported by the National MS Society (Ohio Buckeye Chapter), the organization's mission is to provide support, resources, mentoring, training, and empowerment to families increasingly stressed by this disease. M.A.M. also assists mothers suffering from non-chronic illnesses raising children up to 18 years of age. With mounting medical bills, skyrocketing insurance premiums, and general economic decline, M.A.M. stands in the gap to help alleviate some of the stress experienced by families facing these health challenges.

THE NEED: MAM is seeking donations to sponsor 60 disabled women to attend the Women's Empowerment Network conference on Saturday, September 18, 2010. The conference will educate disabled women on financial management, domestic violence, and building healthy families.

June Wish: Charlezetta Moss Needs your Prayers!

June Wish: Charlezetta Moss is in need of your prayers and encouragement! She has been battling a rare disease called Sclerodoma for almost two years and could use some extra love to get her through an especially difficult bout with this illness. Sclerodoma is an uncommon chronic autoimmune disease that affects about 300,000 people every year. It is mostly found in females ages 30-50. Although Sclerodoma is completely non-contagious or cancerous, the means by which one contracts Scerlodoma is unknown. The process of the disease is caused by an over-production of collagen. This extra collagen is deposited into the skin and throughout the body’s organs; as a result, the skin hardens and affects the functions of internal organs.

The Need: Charlezetta Moss needs some encouragement as she continues her battle with this fatal disease. We know that our God can do anything! Could you help lift her spirits by saying a prayer for her and by forwarding this request out to others that can pray? Can you send her a card of encouragement? Can you forward any information that may help Charlezetta get through this difficult time? Do you have information you would like to share about Sclerodoma that may help her?

The Instruction: If you would like to send her a card of encouragement or any other helpful information, please send it to: Charlezetta Moss, 4719 Quincy Drive, Copley, Ohio 44321.

The Reward: Your love and kindness always comes back to you!
