As most of you might already know my girlfriend is extremely sick and is in a hospital in Minnesota. I live in New Jersey and she was at the hospital in Hershey, PA but was transfered to Minnesota because tests showed possible cancer in her brain and it was a better hospital to go to. She called me yesterday crying saying she missed me and was scared and it was growing harder to breathe. I feel extremely helpless and wish to be there to be with her but my money situation is awful.
Friends from a wrestling message board I frequent all chipped together and helped me raise some money using a paypal account (in which they regulate and won't let me touch) just in case I was lying in which I am not. This has made be extremely speachless and I thank them so very much for this. They have managed to get together about $165 dollars. In order to get roundtrip plane tickets, a few nights in a cheap hotel, and a rental car to get from the hotel/airport to the hospital is $455 on priceline.com. If you could help me then I would be so very gracious. This woman means the world to me and it hurts so much not being able to be there for her.
Here is what the one guy Bill from the wrestling forums posted on his myspace so you can see it from his perspective.
Thanks for your time.

Hey guys,
Sorry to bother you all. I (Bill) have a friend that is in a bad situation.
He lives in west Jersey not far from Philly. However, his fiancee was rushed to Hershey, PA for major medical problems. They think it's a severe case of Cancer and the flew her directly to Minnesota. They have gotten to talk a few times on the phone. Last he heard from her, she was in tears and said it was hard to breathe. It's bad!
I was informed about 9 days ago that his mother was falling behind and their house is borderline being forclosed..... He's in a stream of bad luck and needs this help to fly to MN....
Seeing her and being with her through what will probably be the hardest time of their lives..... will hopefully give him a belief that everything will be just dandy. It will give him hope that God is looking out for them and that no matter what will ever come their way in the future will not amount to what they are going through now.
I don't know how I would have been able to stay at home while Dawn was in the hospital 5 times in less than 9 days. And in the E.R. twice in three days....
>>>>"Today she called me and said she missed me terribly and loved me very much. They she seemed quiet and then started to cry. She told me it was getting hard for her to breathe and she was extremely scared and she missed me.
I love this woman so much and it hurts not being able to be there for her. I want to be by her side."<<<<
I have been so blessed over the past week that Dawn is making a full recovery. I was afraid it might go horrible and I'd lose her. I got to be by her side and we helped each other be a strong unit.
Some of you saw my Bulletin about having a baby. Well, we lost it. It started Sunday morning and she came out of the operating room on Tuesday. Two trips to the E.R. a total of 22hrs in the hospital out of 50 or so hours. It was a mess. I was a mess and on the verge of losing my mind. It's a tragedy but, God wanted it that way and I realized he bless me with this as my eyes are open and I don't think our love and relationship could get any stronger.
I can only thank God, and I want nothing more than to pay it forward.
Dawn and I have decided to put forth $50 to try and help him get to Minnesota where he and I have a friend that has a couch for him to sleep on. And if we have to, we just might double that 50. Doing this means a great deal to us and a few of his other friends.....
We can get a decent priced plane ticket from Philly to MN and probably a decent priced car rental to get back and forth from the friends couch and the hospital.
"Anything For Friends"
That's what Dawn and I say.... I hope most, or ALL of you heel that way about your friends...... And I hope you can all see it in your heart to try and help us help him. Even if you only have $5-$10 to spare. I know it's not anything as big as the March Of Dimes, or another charity. But, it'll help me to help him!
If you can do this in the next 2-3 days, it will be greatly appreciated! If you can't at all, please at least keep him in a small prayer....
If you want to help, but do not have a paypal, you are welcome to contact me for an address to mail a check at the E-Mail I set up for our help efforts.
