    Ty I wrote to your show years ago asking for your help! No one has ever replied, now my husband is close to retirement from the Marines, the bank will probably get my house and we will have to go, but you have to help do something about the hospitals in this area PLEASE!!!!
    My mom died from Cancer, I have had it, I am an RN, I work with both children and adults, in the Oncology field, ER, and Recovery room. I am getting ready to start a new contract as a travel nurse at Kaiser In LA because the hospitals in this area are so bad I wont and cant work in them. They have tried or so they say for years to build/open newer, larger more up to date/better run facilities in the area but something ALWAYS blocks it or it takes YEARS to complete. I have had many doctors tell me if I finished my nurse Practitioner they would open an oncology clinic out here and have me run it with my family, you see I have a 27 year old partially disabled son, his 2 children and their mother live with me, she is training to be a med assistant, and my son has been doing counter/ and books etc for years, my husband a special op marine also has been an instructor, office personel and warehouseman and supply, I also have my 18 year old son, 14 yr old daughter, and my sons friend living with us. But what I am begging you to do is please take a look and see if maybe someway you can help to improve the medical facilities available to people in this area. as I said it is too late for us as the bank wont work with us we have tried to hire 3 different people now and yet they refuse to lower anything, they just keep taking houses away in this area, even though we have been here since 2004, and of course bought way high and now the house is worth less than half of what we owe wells fargo will not budge. My husband and I as well as our children will continue to do community service and help our fellow marines in need until such time as they drag us from this house, but we truly beg you to consider seeing if there is something you can do to maybe open a small clinic close by. I have many friends that have said they will volunteer time as well along with us to help care for the people at least part of the time. I thank you for your time and thank you all for all the wonderful things you have done for so many deserving people. You are all truly wonderful big hearted and talented people. Take care Aloha, Toni and familymoreless

    Hi my names isaiah bridges im 18 yrs old, I think what you guys do is wonderful to help people in such need in such short time notice, Im writing you today on behalf of my loving and caring mother.My mother strives her best for us four boys to go to college so we can have a better life and can actually become something. I pray every night maybe one day I can buy the house my mothers always asked for. Lifes not easy but shes trying doing the best she can. My father passed away almost 5 yrs ago. I know its tough on my mother raising 4 kids on her own. Currently we dont own are own house so were living in a 3 bedroom apt, with 5 of us living together.The neighborhood were currently living in isnt the same as it used to be, I know my mother would love to live somewhere without worring about one of her four boys getting hurt. Im not really the one to believe in miaracles but I pray everyday a miaracle happens and you can help my family in a urgent time off need thank you and god bless.moreless
