Dear Busy Mom: I do not know why I did not see your earlier post about your loss. I am so sorry. My condolences to you and your family. Elaine

Hi Busy Mom,

I just came across this and although I cannot find their web site, I did check to make sure the phone number was in effect.  For Cystic Fibrosis see:

Which was listed on several web links including this one:

which also has some info on this page:

My son Nathan needs feeding therapy desperately. It's quite $$ and we can't afford it. He hasn't been able to have it since Feb. if you can help it would be a huge blessing. Please share about him, he's 2 has cystic fibrosis and a feeding tube. There's a pay pal on his web site: www.contrerashome.us Also, if you can' donate but could just pass along his info, and please share his web site with others and ask them to try and give if they're able. It would help so much. Thank you.

Hi Redman,well I understand the single parent stuff. I was one with my older son for 9 yrs. It is hard so I feel for you. Depending on where you live, since you are a single parent, sometimes there are more community services that are open to you, that aren't as easily accesable to other familes. I could call resource and referal in your area and see waht programs you qualify for. If your not working, you should be able to get foodstamps etc. Some sort of state insurance, and possibly unimployment. Also, if you go to your unimployment office web site, regardless if you qualify for it or not, they will have jobs poseted where they are hiring in your comunity. You can try a temp agency also, or a daily labor wadge place. If you can't afford child care, you should be able to get that covered through your state as well. Demendong on what you are qualified to do, you can also scout those kinds of jobs in your area. Check with hospitals,hotels,security jobs, restraunts,resorts,schools ect to see what jobs are availble there. Even if it's not your "ideal job" at least you will be able to find something, and you can always keep trying to keep an eye out for something better. I know it's hard, but the Lord will take care of you guys. He cares about you and your daughter. I am sorry that I don't have any money to offer you. But I do know that if you just keep trying, it will come. Te mountians do move, and that God can give you strength. Just be the best dad you can be, and know that your daughter is watching how you handle this time. Any legitament work, no matter how trivial it may seem is honorable work and God will bless you for it. You'll be in my prayers.

hey i'm a single dad with a 7 year old litle girl who is my life and i'm not workin right now and find it so very hard to get buy:::::( it's hard a person when you run out of food and stuff or can;t get oil when i run out or new clothes for my girl anythin like that i'm lookin for work and just not havin any luck at all:( it's so so hard right now PLEASE HELP ME OUT THANK U VERY MUCH

Hi busymom, I am so sorry for the loss of your baby. I will pray for you. I lost 3 babies myself. ______________ Lord, P lease uplift this mother and her family during this time of bereavement. Comfort them. Heal thier broken hearts. Provide for all of their needs. Provide for their finances. Please heal Nathan. Remove this affliction far from him. Give him a miracle. Take away this stress from this family. Amen.

Hi everyone, I wanted to update you and let you know that last Monday our little baby passed away. It was a little boy, and we named him Matthew. I was 4 months and 3 days along when he passed. Nathan is doing a little better but we are still greatly in need of financial help with the bills.He still has a 600/mo in co-pays just for his meds.If you an help at all, even a little on his web site is the pay-pal. Thanks so much and God bless you.

HIbusymom Sorry to hear about the strep throat ! That is nasty. I hope it doesn't interfere with Nathan's breathing. Congradulations on your pregnancy . I will keep your whole family in my prayers. soulight

Hey everyone. Nathan's got strep throat right now, so please keep him in your prayers. It's easily treatable, but still, he's real feverish and just I hate it when he's not feeling well. We still need some help with getting to the word aout about his site. Please pass it along, even if you can't directly give anything yourself. www.contrerashome.us Seriousl y, even if people can only give 5 or 20 bucks. It will all add up.Thanks again, and God bless you. Oh, we are pregnant and I have been having some complications with the preg, but so far the baby's ok. No, we weren't planning on trying to have another baby during all this other stress/bills and Nathan's illness...but aparently the Lord knows better than we do and has seen fit to bless us with another child. Please pray also that this one won't have cystic fibrosis. There is a 1 in 4 chance it will. But we are praying for a healthy child, so please pray also. Thanks again for your time.

This came out in the paper today. http://www.tucsoncitizen.com/d aily/local/46558.php_ People can make a donation on Nathan's site: www.contrerashome.us Please help if you can.

We still can use some help with the costs of Nathan's co-pay's and his therapy. You can donate on line www.contrerashome.us on Pay-pal and read more about our son. Thanks for your help.

Hi, Nathan (2 yr old with very bad cystic fibrosis)right now has a bad staff infection in his lungs. We had to do so many things for him medically that we weren't able to pay our Feb. mortgage. We have most of it, but we are about 500 short. If anyone could help it would be a huge blessing. There is a pay pal at the bottom of Nathan's Web site. Please try to help if you can. www.contrerashome.us Thank you very much.

Lord, Please heal Nathan and make him whole. Amen.

Please share Nathan's web site with other's and pass it on. www.contrerashome.us There is a pay-pal account on there, and we have received two donations now. I can't even begin to tell you how blessed we feel and humbled that people are reaching out to us. God bless you guys, and PLEASE don't stop telling everyone you can about his web site. We just found out on Friday, that his feeding therapy that was being covered (finally and thankfully)by a foundation for the last month, isn't going to be able to continue to do it for the next two months as they had promised. Nathan hasn't eaten by mouth in over a year. He is strictly g-tube fed now. He really and desperaptely needs this therapy. Please pray also!! We were so happy when this foundation said they would help this time, in Jan. this year because last year they turned us down. Pray for a miracle, and for the money to start coming in, please. Any contribution no matter how small all adds up. If people could give anything they could, between $5-100.00 it would make all the diffrence in the world to us right now. Thanks you, God bless you.

Hey everyone, we are still needing the financial help with the co-pay's, and right now just making it through the weeks ahead is going to be a real challenge. Someone sent us a small $2.00 donation thru Nathan's pay-pal on his website:www.contrerashome.us and I really appreciated it. If we could get some more help like that, it sure could add up quickly.If you can give anything, it doesn't have to be alot.Please, tell your family and friends, call some of your churches in your area...be as creative as you would feel like being. We just are really trying to get our heads above water. Soul Light did direct us to some great helpful foundations, and sites and I am using those avenues to get some help. But those things will take time before we even hear if they accepted us. So please, try...every little bit is a blessing. Please continue to pass along his website to others....you never know who somone else might know that could really be a blessing. Thank you again for your time and care.

Hi everyone, we just got Nathans' book onto Amazon today. If you would please copy and paste this link: http://www.amazon.com/Nathans- Story-Lesli-Contreras/dp/14120 67839/sr=8-8/qid=1170894666?ie =UTF8&s=books&tag2=cysticfibro 05-20ink: It would be such a blessing if you would pass that link along with a message, just saying to please check out this book about this little boy with very severe and rare cystic fibrosis. He has a feeding tube, and has been in the hospital 12 times since his diagnosis ni April of '05. He has a web site also: www.contrerashome.us and if you could include that, it would be SO helpful. I know I wish I had money to help you guys, and I know probably some of you wish you had some to give to us as well. But for sure, if you could do this, it would be a blessing...just pass it along to all the people in your email address book, or as many as you want. Please, anything could help...please help me try this. God bless you deeply.

Hi everyone, it would be such a help to us, if you would please copy and paste this link: http://www.amazon.com/Nathans- Story-Lesli-Contreras/dp/14120 67839/sr=8-8/qid=1170894666?ie =UTF8&s=books&tag2=cysticfibro 05-20 and tell people you know to please check out Nathan's Story on Amazon. If I could get enough people to get his book, that would help us also. Even if you can't get his book, please still forward the link and message. I would appreciate it so very much.I am trying desperately to get the word about about him, and our familiy and cystic fibrosis in general...this would help so much. God bless you.

Hi, how cool! So thanks for writting, and for the donation! That was the first ever that we had ever received on there, no lie!! I was really jazzed! Hey, every little bit helps. I will do the things you asked, because they make since about his web site. I just have to email the guy, and he can move things around. We have been very blessed. We are still up a creek but we've been blessed. nathan's a precious little guy and truely a gift from the Lord. So we have somethings that my husband was going to sell on ebay. Is that like what you mean? But he's got some weird stuff too, like an elephants foot -box /stool thing that's really old. I personally think it's gross.But it's super old, and from China. I always wished we could take it to those antique road show guys....see how much it's worth! He's got a ton of stuff. But off hand, we don't have litteraly anything extra even for the shipping for somethng like that right now. I figure my husband will want to stick with ebay, but I will tell him about you and see what he says. So where are you at again? (I forgot if you said or not) Lesli

Hello my dear. So thanks for writting back. Sounds like you have a crappy ex husbnad too! (ha!) isn't that funny. Mine is one wife # 3. The #2 one's children (especiialy her son) molested Thomas, my older son (12) so we had to go through all the legal/police stuff. That was terrible, and about 6 1/2 yrs ago. Thomas is still in counseling now for it, plus just because of the whole thing his boundries are pretty messed up. Scarrey. So yes, I think that this site is seeming to be very helpful. I did go to that CF list thng you sent me to yesterday, and it was very nice. I ofcorse met a nice lady on line who has 8 children, 4 with cf and then she has 2 adopted with mental and emotional problems, due to the mom doing crack while they were in utero. She sounds very nice, and she also was recently diagnosed with MS. SOOOOOOO I am now trying to figure out a way to help her. They live in Tenasee. So keep them in your many prayers please. Let's see. What else. Oh. Someone gave us 2 bucks today in our pay pal! I was so excited because it was the first time anyone EVER has given us anything on there!!! I wasn't sure if it was from your site, or wree, but thank you just incase. (now, if I can just get about a 1,000 more people to do that very thing! ha! I hope that you are able to get some more help. Disability seems like a joke to the government. I don't understand it.I have to get busy with dinner. I have to take Thomas to youth group. I hope you have a good night if I don't get a chance to talk to you before my husband getons on line to play chess. BLess your heart. And if you do get a minute, try to listen to Nathan's video, it's so sweet. On the bottom of the picture page. Hey, I used to live near Chicago. In Willowbrook, and then in Hinsdale I worked by day as a nanny, and then part of the time I worked at night as an escort. Not some of my founder memories. That was honestly not to long ago....like less than 5 years. God is good, and I am so glad that his mercy and forgivenss is complete and final. I know He loves me regardless of my (many many) flaws. Isn't that great for all of us? Bless your heart my dear, and those guys sound super nice that have this site... do you know what I really would like help with? I try to get calls in (or emails) to diffrent chruches,leuges, and organizations and if I made a little email "flyer"/info sheet, and sent it to you, could you please send it to some churches/ places in your area or churches you may know of?Would you ever please consider helping me with that? If it's to much, don't worry about it, and no hard feelings...sometimes things get to be to crazy, and I just don't get the word out like I wanted to. This is my email on aol. I can do it here, or there which ever is easiest for you. Than if you have a fund or anything set up (or pay pal) I can do the same for you, and see if between the two of us we can't get some help. It is: pjcontreras6@aol.com Can I have your's so I can make it look nicer than I can on here please? Lesli
