I've tried to help everyone I can if ever asked because it's the right thing to do. I have focused efforts on Jaden and the online world has embraced this sweet boy , his family and now his friends Ethan.
All the while I've done this Chief Hidingfromthekids.com has helped me.. supported me through all of it. Little do you all know..... that she has been helping her OWN sweet friend , quietly and behind the scenes. Her name is R.amona. She is beautiful , she is a friend of Chiefs, she is a mom and she is dying of cancer. It is tragic.
She has SIX young children AND A husband in the military - and she is dying of cancer. She does not have much time left and financially they are absolutely strapped. She has been too proud to have Chief help via her blog- she's even attempted to work small hours but can barely lift a finger to type.
Chief can't help because she made a promise but I can.
She doesn't know me.
Things took a turn for the worse yesterday. Her fight is in vain it seems. Yesterday her skull was removed during a brain surgery to remove a brain clot.. Luckily the clot was on the outskirts of the brain and they will replace her skull as soon as the swelling goes down. She is recovering in ICU as we speak.
This is a mom from Utah just like you and I. It is heartbreaking.
If you have prayers. Bring them on.
This family will need all the help they can get.
If you feel led to donate to help this family - I assure you on my blog name that this is a real person and that the money will go directly to her family. She doesn't need to know that I"ve set out to help her. They cannot make mortgage payments at this point and others are scrambling to help.
If you can- and are financially able .. please help. I know how tough these times are.
If you cannot- your prayers are just as valuable.
If you'd like more info I can certainly provide it.
Thank you all- If this was my family I would pray that someone would help. The Duttine's are cared for at this point. This family is now my focus.
Blogfia time.

we are not financially stable to donate right now, but as soon as we get on our feet I would be more than glad to donate.. it shouldnt be too much longer before my hubby starts bringing in a paycheck again, but for now I can offer prayers!!
Awe Supah.. no words
I am praying for this family. I wish I was able to help financially, but I am still looking and praying for a job myself. However, I will keep her in my prayers.
You have the biggest heart! I will try to help spread the word.
I have added the chip-in widget to my left hand side bar and updated my post for today to link to this post.
My heart is sad.
These stories just break my heart. :( They are in my thoughts during this difficult time.
I will see what I can do monetary wise, but my prayers are there.
Your awesome and Chief is amazing.
Thanks for giving us the opportunity to help.
Chipped in - my prayers are with the family. :)
Prayers cost nothing, consider it done! Thanks for posting this you guys are amazing!
Praying.
My heart is most definitely heavy to hear all of this news. I wish we could just block out things like cancer and pretend they don't exist, but it's so impossible. You just can't.
It takes a toll on everyone and it's absolutely positively heart-breaking.
The world needs more people like you :-)
AND then there are those that disagree we should have national health care. Hmph.
Maybe the bill that passed was not right or perfect...but we NEED something to help people like these.
Prayers are sent.
Peace.
I reposted your blog (with total credit to you. Hoping to reach more people.
Going to see what Mike and I can scrape up for Ramona's family.
You are truly amazing! I'll try to spread the word as much as I can. See what I can donate when I get home! God bless!
I've been reading about her on Chief's blog. I'm so happy that you are organizing to help this family. I can't promise any donations right now (without a steady paycheck) but my prayers will be abundant.
Okay, I'm going to write a post right now and add a link to yours. This breaks my heart. What mom wouldn't want to know that her babies are cared for when she leaves this world??? I think what you're doing is wonderful!!
I posted (with a copy of your original post, (FULL CREDIT to you and, of course a LINK to your site as well.) I hope people come streaming in!!!!!)
Will you keep us updated??

Such a sad story. I reposted a link on my blog. Hope it brings some help your way.
Sending prayers. I can't even begin to imagine...any of these situations. My heart feels heavy with all these people hurting.
Im so straped right now...buty I will come up with something. Ill be in touch;)
supah, once again your heart has touched me in ways to deep to describe. hugs my friend
You're amazing Supah! The lengths you go to. I will see what I can do to help.... Prayers are a given! HUGS!
All I'm able to do right now is pray and pray hard for her and her family. My husband and son suffer from a neural tube disorder of the brain and we ourselves have so many medical bills. Hearing this story just breaks my heart!
Oh dear... I am praying for this mama
You guys are THE BEST! I did what I could to help, it ain't much, but I know every bit helps.
I am proud to know you.
I didn't give much...but Hubby gets paid next week, so I will probably be able to help out more. I'm so glad you are doing this! I know you are busy and have a lot going on, so thanks for taking the time for this, and allowing us to help in whatever we can.
Prayers for this family are headed their way.
My heart goes out to them. They have been and will continue to be in my prayers.
Oh, WOW! My prayers are with her and her family!
Will say prayers for this family...
You are an amazing person with a heart of gold!
Supah, Supah, Supah...you are truly an amazing woman! I am going to repost this on my blog. Ramona is my friend as well and I feel helpless watching this family go through everything. Thank you all for helping our friend! Thank goodness for the Military Health Benefits or things would be so much worse!
I just wanted to let you know that I have added this family to my prayer list on my Faith blog, http://godsgirlramble.blogspot.com
I'll keep this family in my thoughts! I hate cancer, grrr!
