The Powers of a Pond . 28th March 2009

Today Debbie posted in Scruffy,s Diary about her illness and this chance she has been given...I know it comes with a Price Tag...but I dont as yet know how much.I am doing my own bit of Fund Raising in UK to help towards this Price Tag.Im not sure if anyone can help but I am doing whatever I can to help Debbie get to California from my side of the "Pond" .Im doing some Raffles , Trying to get a car boot sale done.(thats like a Garage Sale ) Debbie has the offer of accomodation when in California ,As yet I dont know where Deb needs to be.but I am passing on any info to that very kind Lady,s offer. I know Debbie has been given another Boost but I also know how ill Deb is.Time is vital now.My heart is so desperate to help Debbie.I cant let money come between the chance of Life ,.....and death. I wish time was on Debs side as I have some money comming my way but not til around September. I could have sent that towards the costs of this .Ohh how I wish I had Joy,s Pond infront of me right now.I can feel Joy,s Pond ..Strange as that may sound..I really can "feel" its powers.Its like a Guardian Angel...a Spirit watching over me.Giving me a sense of Calm.That pond has to be seen ",breathed in " to understand its depth . Joy, you have an Angel there.A Spirit.That Spirit is Good. Im in need of a Deep Breath ,I will look at the photo, It still passes its Energy to me from the Photo. The Powers of a Pond are deep .Strong and surrounding this Dream with calm comforting warmth.

This is Scruffy,s Diary Entry ,posted today.

My mommie is 48 years old and has raised 6 children, 3 boys and 3 girls. Her baby is 26 and pregnant. (mommie is praying to be here for the birth of this baby) Recently my mom was diagnoised with mesothelioma. A cancer that fast growing,and swift to kiill. My mom has been given less than 6 months. She has however found a treatment that could give her over 5 years. she has insurance but there is still large copays and flight payments since she will have to fly from Florida to California for the treatment. Anyone that could help with even a few bucks we would be so thankful. My mom helped her father who passed away with the same cancer and she is very scared. It is a horrible death and the person is left to suffocate as an outcome. She is begging for your help. This treatment has been approved in many surgeries and many cancers including hers. It has given many years instead of months to the people that have been lucky enough to have the treatment. So im askng to please help us. You can send help to ( address edited for security reasons....any donations can be sent via paypal to alfiechinacat@yahoo.co.uk All donations will be forwarded to Debbie.End of Editing ) . We PROMISE not to use the money except for our trips to California for treatment. She will need to go 2 times tat we are sure of right now. She has a lymphnode with cancer laying close to her liver and he wants to get that ASAP. It causes her alot of pain. The tumor itself is hugh and he hopes to get 80% of that in his first surgery. Theres never been a surgery to help meso before. This is a truly life saving event. PLEASE help my mommie stay around longer than her daddy did.he only made 7 months. Help give my mommie more years than months. Again the adress is above. What ever money is left will be given to a group leader to help another person searching for help. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR READING. LUV SCRUFFY AND FAMILY

A New Chapter unfolds.....

Lots of things have happened since my return to the UK . A New Chapter Unfolds.......

Ive talked with Debbie since my return to UK.She has had good days and bad. My last talk ,a few days ago...found Debbie feeling good. She was between Chemo sessions and sounded really good. We talked and Deb told me about her Shopping trip. Im glad she could get to go outfor a short while.I know it tired her out but She did enjoy the "outing" and that has got to be Good.

Debbie has recieved many cards and gifts from The Dream Makers.You. They have helped to cheer Debbie up so much. She really enjoys them and the photos of your cats too. Thankyou ALL so much .

I hold my memories of this DreamVisit to meet Debbie very close to my heart. Not a day goes by without thinking of Debbie. She is in my thoughts and Prayers. A friend I will treasure always. Im putting together a parcel to send over to Debbie. I will include All Our Purrs and Prayers in it .

We Had a Dream..

My Friend Debbie said to me a long time ago that She wished we could meet as she felt she knew me well. We ( Our cats Scruffy and Alfie ) talked to each other often. Then we lost contact. I found out that was because Debbie was Ill. I tried to find Debbie but was having no luck. I searched the groups that Scruffy was in..to see if there was any posts .I asked some friends for help, advice as to how to extend my search.I got good help and advice..I also emailed HQ who passed on my message to Debbie..who emailed me..YES We had contact. This was the start of The Dream. The Incredible Journey .Two Friends, Two Countries.. Uk and USA ,One Ocean, Many Friends from around the world joined this Dream...They are The Dream Makers.
The Dream was about to become a Reality.
Scruffy.....Debbie

My flight left Manchester on Dec 26th I had to change flights in Philadelphia. Moozer,s mum and Dad , Dale and Neil came to Philadelphia to meet me. They drove from New York . We had a Great time ,eating Philly Cheese Steaks and drinking Coffee ( I like Coffee !! ) We talked, Laughed, and I felt like Id known Dale and Neil for ever.Yes Dale..I will take you up on your offer to stay with you on your Houseboat..It sounds Great ,plus I get to meet Alfies Mate Moozer !! ...ulteria motive ,,grins )

Dale and Neil got me back to the airport with loads of time to spare.

I got checked in again..Looked at my ticket for the Gate...(here is where mistake number ...??? happened ) I headed to Gate 26. WOW, this Airport is BIG ! I looked for a Hire car,,a Bus..a taxi !! At least I was kept fit..it was a long walk.Found gate 26.I sat down knowing I had hrs to wait..I watched planes come and go..at about 7 pm I asked the Lady manning the podium about the Orlando flight.She said " ohh, just sit down and I will see you after Ive done this paperwork " OK I thought.., Well, I checked my ticket for the hundreth time..I actually ripped my ticket in half cos I was taking in out so many times..gulp ! (it was ok I was told ! ) That is when I saw Gate 28 ......not 26....the DATE was 26...not GATE. Ohh No,,,I dashed to Gate 28 but my flight to Orlando was taking off ...without Me !! Ohh well, Mistakes are happen....yes, BIG ones !Off I trotted to the US info desk...There I stood in line ...One guy had missed his flight as HE was sat in a Bar...The Lady( with the Face of Stone ) told him in no uncertain words that he had to pay for his hotel, flight change etc...I counted my Dollars..GULP ! I wondered If Singing would help ? grins.My turn to face the Face Of Stone...I explained I had been sat at the wrong gate...The Face of Stone melted into a Face of Smiles.This Lady was Very nice..She booked me onto the next Flight to Orlando,,Saturday afternoon ) She also gave me Hotel and shuttle details..and didnt want any money from me,,( I bet that guy who was sat in the Bar was cursing me !! )

Off I went to find a shuttle ...It was late, I was tired but all the errors were My Errors . I stood outside and waited for a shuttle...That is when I phoned Maria to let her know I wouldnt be in Orlando til Saturday evening.She told me to Stop right where I was,,Not board ANY Shuttle...and was phoning me back in 5 minutes.. Maria phoned me back,,,and told me to go across to the Marriot Hotel as it was In the Airport..She had booked me in there.( Maria has been a Guardian Angel throughout this Visit .)

The Marriot Hotel was really nice ..Im not use to such Luxuries..It was strange..but Very nice..I cant thank Maria enough.

Next morning..Off to my Next Flight..I got through Check in..was searched..and they took my Peanut Butter and Jelly off me..(Dale gave me those along with my Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich...Grins..they didnt find That !! ..licks Lips ! .

My ticket said GATE 8...A so off I went...WOW...this Airport grew over night im sure. I found Gate 8..A .I had Hrs and Hrs to wait..but I wasnt moving from this Gate..I looked at the Departure board..it said MY flight was departing at Gate 20A..Hummm...Ticket said gate 8 A...Board said Gate 20A..Here we go again...Gates ...I was telling Maria..who checked and said Yes, gate 20A is My departure gate..So I went off in search of a Taxi !! (It was a BIG airport !! ) I found gate 20A..and stayed there ..All was well. This was the right place. My flight to Orlando arrived..I boarded ..I arrived in Orlando Airport safe and well...Now to find the Hotel shuttle place...Do I need a Taxi ? grins..Nope..I found the Shuttle place ..Phoned for the Hotel shuttle service and was on my way...What a trip so far..Full of adventures, Now to check in...Very nice place..BIG...ohh you will get use to that BIG word by the time Ive finished this ..Grins. Well, I think its time to sleep...Tomorrow is another Adventure along the Dream,s Pathway .
