Want to help?

There's a website called Helping Hands which sets up a calendar community so people can volunteer to do things like get groceries, bring kids to activities, etc.  It's an awesome idea but I don't really have any of those responsibilities.  People ask me all the time what they can do to help and I draw a blank so I tried to make up a list.  I'll update it when I think of things and cross stuff off when someone claims it.  I don't really want to make this entire post a sticky but I'll put a link to it at the top of the page so you guys can check back.

A lot of this stuff can be emailed and if not you can get my physical address if you need it:  jenniferlwille-at-yahoo-dot-com

A literary agent - Hey, I can dream, right? ;)

A book light - I wake up at 4am every night, often to scribble notes.   My handwriting is illedgible enough without trying to write in the dark!

A hat rack thingie - I have all these wigs/scarves/etc and no way to store them besides in a big pile ):

Fun night lights - I've got some boring ones in my room and bathroom.  I get nightmares so anything soothing/cheery to wake up to would be nice

TV-watching contraption - I've got a TV.  And a bed.  But no couch or way to make the bed comfy for watchinn the TV T_T

Toys!! - I love toys!  I'm not quite up to nerf right now but desktop toys are great

 

Lap pad/table for laptop

 

Physical games/crafts - I get bored staring at screens!  Nothing sharp or too puzzle-oriented for my poor chemo brain to handle

 

Artwork - Doodle me something, I LOVE to tape cards and art up in the bathroom.

Exercise gift certificates - I need to get 30 min in daily but my staminia has me limited to like, stretch yoga ;p  and I get bored sooo easily.  Need to find a bellydance instructor around here that can give me some major modifications

Yoga matt - a REALLY CUSHY ONE

Recipes - I'm supposed to eat fish at least three times a week.  I HATE FISH.  Helpl D:

Fancy PJs/easy wear - especially if they button/zip.  It can be hard to get into normal clothes but I'm going out on a daily basis for shots so I kinda have to be in public.  Preferably PJs that cover what's left of my boobies decently since I haven't been able to wear bras (first the mediport scars then the shoulder pain)

 

Photos - of YOU! and especially your pets (:

 

Food Gift certificates for nice places to eat (Macaroni Grill, Maggiano's, Melting Pot, bellydance places, Sakura, PF Chang's, Mongolian BBQ…etc…etc) - I'm supposed to eat lots of fish/steak/ice cream to bulk up and when my stomach is doing good it's nice to get out and splurge!

 

Board games - Sometimes my stamina is too low to do much when my friends come to hang out but these are a blast!  

the only games I have are True Science, Star Wars Monopoly (I hate  monopoly!), and a 50 million year old Trivia 

Pursuit box. I now have:  Scrabble, Apples to Apples, Smart Ass, and World of Slaughter.

 

Travel Pictures/articles - Places you've been, things you want to do…give me ideas to think toward the future! 

Tell me stories - Don't feel bad for telling me you had a bad day, I want to know, I want to be involved

 

Silly comforts - a heatable aromatherapy pillow, a mini zen garden, a great tea, silly slippers, tasty treats, pretty notebooks

 

Books - The Hunger Games, Dies the Fire, Stein on Writing, Beautiful Creatures, Street Magic, Storm Front, The Career Novelist, Plot and Structure by James Scott Bell, books on character development, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, books on how to write humor, cute animals (especially dogs!), silly bathroom readers, nothing depressing!!!  Err… I know I need to read some Scott Sigler but I think Infection is probably not the best book right now ;p

Survival stories - Only stories with happy continuings, kthx (:

THE Triforce Necklace - http://www.etsy.com/shop/KCandF

 

Donate - Lots of the research right now is coming from breast cancer money which is GREAT and it does help me some but if you want to go specific, mine is squamous cell carcinoma

Rides - My mom probably gets tired of driving me places, waiting around, driving more places.  I  need to go  somewhere pretty much every day :P

 

Make me laugh!!!!

PS.  My mom could use a maid, foot massages, and a chef.  My dad would appreciate someone to play xbox with and anything related to Michigan football/basketball, he also likes beer??  He has glasses from Moon River and Dead Guy Ale.
