few words here and there that were brought to my attention. Thanks to all who helped out with this. It has truly been a group effort! There are 1499 characters!
Dear Ellen, We are members of the website, www.CuteEmbroidery.com. We are like a family and have members all over the world. Our common love is machine embroidery. We help each other with different topics, but we have one who has been an angel to us all and is in dire need of help which we are unable to provide for her. Shirlene Renshaw is the person in need. Shirlene's mother was a member of this website from the beginning and gave Shirlene a love of embroidery.This year has been very hard on Shirlene, Feburary 8th Shirlene's husband suffered a stroke. One week later her Mother, Miss Loretta passed away. She has been a rock and helps Rick as best she can. Rick lost his job and has not fully recovered. Nov. 8th he suffered a seizure, and was hospitalized. While in the hospital Rick had 6 more seizures and a mini-stroke. He is home resting now. Shirlene is by his side with a long road of therapy ahead. She updates us on the site and is always positive. She owns a website, www.loveoflace.com, where she sells lace items that she has embroidered, but business is slow. Shirlene also needs surgery but we don't know the details. We are hoping you can do something to help her, since you are a generous person. All we are asking for is help for our “Friend" who we all cherish and love. We would appreciate anything you can do. Thank you for your consideration. The Cuties of CuteEmbroidery.

Don't know if I'm too late, (not been on in a couple of days), but This looks great except for two major things which are grammatical 1. in reference to Miss Loretta passing away, your next sentence starts with "she" making it look like you are still speaking of Miss Loretta and not Shirlene. That definitely needs to be changed to show you are referring to Shirlene.
2. Please change the word "who" to "whom" in the part where you are saying "All we are asking for is help for our Friend, whom we all cherish and love.
