    Default Hello! I need help PLEASE!

    Hello! My name is Mary and I am new to these message boards, but I thought I would give it a try! First of all I would like to share my story w/ everyone....

    On March 11, I lost my husband, Brian. He died suddenly from MRSA at the age of 27. I was pregnant with our second child at the time and we had a 14 month old. On April 17, I delivered our 2nd beautiful baby girl with out him, which was unimaginable. As you can imagine I have my hands full our two little girls. Not only do they keep me busy, but I am trying to finish school! I am trying to finish my BBA in Management and then I am planning on getting my Master of Science in Physician Assistant studies. And I am in desperate need of financial help! I have already been bless by a student that attends Harding. He or she has raised enough money to pay of my student debt up to this point, but I still have some more to go and I do not want to build up my student debt again. Well I am trying to win a $4000 scholarship from Dell and FastWeb and I need a lot of votes. I think I definitely deserve the scholarship because of being a young widow and having 2 very young children and going to school. Just go to this website and start voting! http://www.whyideserveascholarship.com
    How to vote! (it only takes 20 sec...i promise!)
    when you get to the website in the right hand corner of the screen click on Log in and register to vote. Log in and find my video titled "widow w/ 2 beautiful children". Click on the stars under my video to vote. and it will say thanks for voting once you do that and your done! If you have any question you can email me at mjohnson42005@yahoo.com

    Winning this scholarship would be the world to me and especially my 2 beautiful little girls! Voting ends July 10th so PLEASE vote for me!

    Have a good week and God Bless!

    Hello Mary-

    First off, you have my deepest condolences. I was in your shoes when I was 21 which was 7 years ago. My husband died in a car accident. His death was so hard to deal with that I CANNOT imagine doing it with 2 little ones. My hat is off to you!!!!

    You are a wonderful role model for your children. You are a real woman of strength. I hope you get all the votes you need to meet the goal.

    Take care of yourself!!!!!

    I am so proud to be able to know you and help you win your scholarship. I raised 31 foster children, gave birth to 4 and adopted 6. I also lost my husband, but fortunately I already had my degree and business, so only had to work with the children on our loss. My hear goes out to you and I will keep you in my prayers. I will vote daily and pray you get your scholarship. Please keep me posted on how you are doing and I look forward to watxching you grow and succeed. You are amazing!
