and every time I see a message, donation, or a order, I say a prayer and say in tears - thank you...(name), you may not hear it but I know my angel is taking my message to you.

I was in the mental ward again, I begged to the doctor to let me go home, so I can do my work, I need to raise money to send to my son, and pay the hospital. They allowed me, under the conditions that I wouldn't hurt myself anymore, and I will not. I'm impressed what the hospital and doctors are doing for me, they will visit me daily, to see how I'm doing. They just left, and gave me another new medication for anxiety. The doctor said, I should be in the hospital, by looking my conditions today, but I was just with some embroidery in the machine, and they know about my situation and were convinced that I'm trying my best to make some money. The medicine I just took, will make me sleepy and groggy, so I'll try say the important things first.

My son is also sick. He missed the school for 1 week, because of fever and anemy. His teacher called my second son, asking me to call him. This was 3 days ago. The teacher went to my sons place, and he was laying down with fever, and asked what was happening. He hasn't been eating properly, he has anemy, and without health insurance, is unable to go to the hospital either. This hurt my heart so badly...I talked to the teacher too, Yukio is studying hard, he is getting the best grades in his classroom, and it would affect his studies if he starts missing classes. The teacher also took some food to him, knowing all our situation.
Yukio started going to school yesterday, and he is feeling better.

Dear family, I still need your prayers, and support. I feel ashamed I'm asking this, but I have no other choice, until my permanent visa comes. This will take up to 6 months, the immigration said. Then, many doors will open for me, I'll be eligible to have free course for aging care, child care, or teacher aid...one of those is all I need to get a chance to get a job here. Also the social work got me linked to an interpreter/translator service, it's a casual job, to do interpreter at doctors, court, but I'll need a permanent visa and pass the interview. At least, something to look forward.

Before I go rest, feeling a little groggy now, I want to post the beautiful gifts my wonderful family sent to me.
