Melissa Skinner is a single mom of 2 great sons! She works very hard daily to be the mother whom is the only provider for her sons. She works all the overtime she can to provide for all of their needs. Her sons are ages 15 and 13. Their biological father has not contributed anything to their lives at all.It has been a struggle to make ends meet that Melissa has done all by herself. When her oldest son Mark was only 5 he had what was supposed to be a normal in and out of hospital procedure done.Mark  had tubes put in tonsils and adenoids taken out.Melissa lost him. He stopped breathing.They put  him on life support.The Dr. told her he is not fighting, he has nothing to fight for.The Dr. & nursing staff wanted her to see him and talk to him to give him a reason to fight. She took a couple minutes to collect her thoughts and try to get herself strong.Melissa went out into the hospital hall got on her knees and started praying. A Sister came from out of nowhere, put her hand on Melissa’s shoulder and said, I see you need prayers... Melissa with her head hung low and crying , the Sister  said,I will pray for you ... then she left. Melissa got up and dried her eyes and the Dr. came out and got her.He told her she had to be strong for Mark. They prepared her  and told her he was hooked up to a lot wires and tubes for life support.They asked her if she was ready and she responded, I have no choice.She seen him laying there lifeless.She walked in grabbed his hand and said, Mark this is mommy, listen you can’t go before me! I need you just like you need me! You’re not ready to walk the streets of Heaven!God is not ready to take your hand!Please come back to me!I love you! Your baby brother loves you! She then kissed his little hand.She wiped a tear and held her head down! A couple minutes later, he squeezed her hand! The Dr. was right there. The Dr. told her to keep talking to him because he hears her. So she did and he opened his eyes and looked at her and said, mommy I love you and he cried. Fast forward to now... 10 years later Mark has to have foot surgery done as a birth defect in his foot making it unbearable to walk on ,and the Dr. says he must have surgery now. Well of course Melissa is worried about losing him again. Who wouldn’t be? As I mentioned though, she is the only income of the household.Mark is having surgery Thursday December 20th. She will be missing income as a result of having to stay home with him during his recovery time . Not to mention she does not know how she can provide a Christmas for both boys and pay the medical bills and her home bills and car payment. Melissa is such a sweet young lady. Please help me in helping her and her sons through this hard time.I know Melissa would help anyone, anyway she could in their time of need. I thank you in advance. Also please pray for her and her sons.
