No one should have to live on the street, let alone be sick and on the street.
I don't do pay pal but will find a way to help if we locate her and start a fund.

I agree Prevenge. Having something set up with PayPal would save so much time. My thought is for this particular situation we use whatever is quickest but not put off setting up PayPal so its ready for the next need. PayPal would be easier than sending from your bank cause they require a routing number of the account its going into. I dont have an iota of unease in sending the money to anyone involved with this. After all...if they did the wrong thing it would be on their conscience!!! ;D

i'm here...although it's friday when it's actually supposed to be thursday--at least in MY timeframe...thursday is dollar tag day at salvation army clothing store4--doing everything disposable so looking forward to next weeks wardrobe---oops!--guess i get to go naked next week cause i missed thursday--seemed to have found some of my sense of humor--came back when my girl came strolling up the alley night before last -mid way to morning-looking like grissabella the glamor cat--i guess she's going thru that alley cat phase and trying out her stray cat strut (just in case she needs it later on!)all over the neighborhood!!
god bless all of you for your prayers and thoughtfulness..i couldn't possibly accept money--i will have cash on the 3rd when disability check comes(have mail on hold at post office till then) dont have an apt for sure and after yesterday and today i really don't think i'm able to do another az summer...this body is too polluted--too inhabited--to deal with the heat in a sane manner--to scattered without my meds which value options discontinued a month ago--a little control tactic they use when they're afraid of loosing a "consumer"--or should i say FUNDING for a consumer... body going thru so much since those abcesses lanced..on my last day of antibiotics --but it's too soon--i had an appointment for 1st visit to pcp friday am-=-but since i missplaced thursday, i ALSO missed the dr appointment this morning as i didn't find out it was friday till around 10 am....C R A P!
and i still dont know what da xxxx...about anything...ya know? i'm fearing that my scatterdness at this point-with all thats blowing out of me-could be my downfall...memories of stupid stunts like re-using baking soda(topically)cause i didn't realize what was in the pile on the floor--it was invisible then--(not so,now)but this is all new to me too and ...oh well..i'll shut up now..
i'm using a computer where i took some classes a couple years ago and won't have access to it for a couple of days--since it IS FRIDAY!!! and that is ONE thing that i know FOR SURE--now,that is....
but that's about ALL that i know for sure--NO--that's incorrect--i know FOR SURE that i share a common ground with some of the most dynamite beings god ever gave breath to..and for that blessing i am sincerely grateful....
and i'm open for suggestions--infact-kinda looking for direction.. i'm gonna hang out here till they kick me out--around 5-ish..and then i have a cricket cell phone withe unlimited free long distance if there are any brainstorms...i agree with you that this should not be happening--at this stage of the game-healthwise--unfortunately even the homeless shelter is req

I'm so thankful your cat showed up. I know the sight of her must have been the best part of your day.
I don't know much about Pay Pal and how it works, but I will certainly be happy to contribute, and will keep watching this thread to learn what has been decided.
The fact your check arrives on the third simply isn't good enough. You need money now and a roof over your head which usually means a deposit and rent to cover the first month.
Please, somebody figure out how to get $$$ to Phoenix.

I got in touch with her around 7pm my time, she said it was 3 hrs. earlier in AZ and she was very concerned about my phone bill, bless her sweet heart, because she has a cell with unlimited long distance, so I gave her my number and made her promise she'd look around for a Wesern Union sign in a store window on her way back to her place (oh my dear lord please help her, she is your child lord and she needs you now to keep her safe, please send a angel to keep her safe and please she needs hope. She has such faith in you Lord, she's in the streets, home is a alley way and she believes with all her heart & soul that you will keep her safe. Lord I don't have to give you a run down on what your children are up to, it's painful and ugly, even me, I've been so angry at you this past year and I will come too you begging for forgiveness the understanding I can't now but the moment I see my son and I will talk to you about it when I'm ready and I know you understand. But I need you now to help her, please I don't know how to pray anymore but you know my heart, please help her, she's so alone, please carry her Lord, her place Lord is a chair in a alley and thats to much to deal with this disease, her body is so sick and she needs to be treated like a child of your. In my Joshua's name Please help this girl, please keep her safe. I'm so angry my lord but you know I never stopped loving you, Amen
Jude has not caled me back as of yet with the name of a store I can Western Union money to her. I don't know about out west but here we have a Western Union in just about all the grocery stores, many places have it. She is very concerned about takin help from us because this disease has put a hurt on all of us. I explaned to her that we are in this boat together and helping is what family's do...end of story kiddo...... We love you She really didn't feel good about it so i told her "lookie here, it's not up for a vote, your getting it because we all love you.
If anyone has heard from her in the past few hours please let me know. I just can't stand this is happening to one of our group. I love all of you folks with all my heart, you are my family.
You know sometimes I get the feeling that some could do fine without my post, who knows, maybe just my crappy spelling, maybe i bring up Josh to much and i know it's wrong "this is not a mourning board" But he was my sunshine, you folks are my family, his family too. I can't mourn my baby because I stuck, I'm stuck at why. But for whatever reasons it's OK cause I love each one of you and so many of you sent me so much love when he died. That was the most beautiful thing thats ever happened to us. """"Love from strangers to strangers""""""" So lets keep that love rollin with Jude, she needs all the love we can send, she needs $$$$ for existing and she needs to understand that we have to help her. End of story cause thats what families do. Love to all SueinMD

I just got off the phone with Judy - What a amazing and lovely woman ! It is very easy to send money to her. She is having a hard time with the idea of accepting money - but she is sleeping outside in an alley and she needs help. She needs a place with a shower and the ability to not get any more parasites from her environment - which is awful right now. She has wounds form absesses and needs to keep them clean.
Anyone who is ready, willing and able to send money - this is what you do.
You go to a Western Union and all you have to do it indicate that the money is for Judy D. Ballo in Phoenix, Arizona. Apparently, you do not have to specify the branch. She can collect it at any Western Union in Phoenix. That's it.
Please, everyone take a moment to quiet your mind and only then ask that peace and protection be sent to her. You have to feel a bit of peace to send peace.

SUEBE - Judy did not call you back because she did not know what your sleep schedule was and did not want to wake you up.

I have spoken to Judy a few times today, we are trying to find a weekly hotel for her to stay in, but it takes $$$. She called me from a local grocery store, at least she is in the air conditioning. Any amount would be appreciated sent to the account for Judy at Western Union. (This is me asking for the $$$'s not Judy, but I think it is needed, if we can get her set up in a place for a week, things will be back on the upswing for her!) You have not lived until you have been forced to live with Morgellon's for one & forced to live outside with Morgellon's in the heat, today it is 97 degrees so far and is only 2pm. These critter's go absolutely ballistic in the heat, I stay indoors as much as possible from April until the end of October & you can hang meat in my house, I HATE the HEAT! She has not been sleeping much either, I don't know how she has slept at all, I would be absolutely terrified to sleep in an alley in this city. It is not the most friendly, safe place to find yourself homeless.
So please, whatever you can give would be appreciated.

Sidney thank you so much for understanding me. I love you, you are such a kindred spirit, your kindness is so loving and beautiful, I'm so thankful for you and for all the sweet souls here in "OUR" group of love. Asking God to help her was so hard for me because I turned my back to him this past year and now here I am needing to plead with him to help our Judy. This has been so overwhelming and refreshed a very painful memorie. When my Josh was younger I'd tell him and all my children "If you ever get out there, get yourself in trouble, end up in jail for doing something I've taught you all your life "not to do" Well then don't call mommy for help, kinda like you made your bed, lay in it. Then those words i'd said 1000s of time came back to hit me in my big head. When we found out his cancer had come back, it was causing him much pain. The doctors gave him the morphine, lots of it. It wasn't helping and it made him sick. So my son called a friend to make a plan to get some pot and on the way home he got pulled over. Josh telling the police officer he needed it for pain and to keep his food down didn't go over big, he was arrested, put in jail. It was in the teens that night, his car was left where they busted him and remembering my firm words, he didn't call his momma and no one at the station offered him a ride to his car. So my very sick child set out with just a lite jacket on for the 10 mile trip to get his car. He made it about 5 miles before his body shut down and he did call me at that point, he was bawling, he was so sorry, he was cold, he wanted his momma. I got to him as fast as I could and I held my cold child and told him I was so sorry I'd ever said those words. My son only wanted me to be proud of him, mom I did it, I didn't call you from a jail, I could have make it to the car but my feet got frozen. He didn't need or want an "I'm sorry son" he was so amazing, so forgiving, so loving. When the state got his medical records they dropped the charge. That night will burn in my memory for ever. I tell parents now to always think about what you say to your child because the bottom line is we want to be there when they need us and sometimes they remember our words right at the wrong time. We talked to our son and his doctor and I made it very clear that if my child was telling me that pot worked better then narcotics, he'd get the pot. after that my hubby would go to get it for him, plus we were nearing the point that Josh felt it was no longer safe for him to drive(he was afraid he'd hurt someone) so he parked his truck for the last time.
When this happened to Judy, needing us, I fell a part. I wanted to get on a plane, find her and take care of her. Memories were flooding my head. I just wanted to help her for Josh. I hope I don't sound like a fruitcake here, I'm falling apart, my brain repeating over and over I WANT MY SON. Thank you again for "being you"
Lydski thank you so much for the DITTO, thank you for the love, you are a big part of this beautiful group.
I'm sorry if my prayer upset anyone yesterday. I'm really not so sure Liatris if your note was directed to me. I don't understand, I really don't. Thank you for letting me know why she didn't call back, she's amazing, worried about waking me when she's going through hell. She is a very caring, loving person and I'm so thankful that some of us were able to send some help. Liatris it's true I have no peace in my heart now, none. And how I wish I could quiet my mind. But I don't believe God didn't hear me because my minds a mess and I do believe God can bring her some peace. I think he heard me, he hears us all. I was asking our Lord to look after her. I know I can't give her any peace only he can do that. I can send her my love and my hopes for her and the cash I sent might just have her soaking in a cool clean room so yea maybe I did send her a bit of "peace of mind" "a moment".
Or maybe I misunderstood your post, my brain seems to keep me busy "misunderstaning " lately. I love you all, the best of the best. SueinMD

How beautiful your words are, Sue. I am sure that you've already helped a lot of people here with your own story. Losing a child is never easy but knowing it should have been prevented makes it so much harder.
And thank you so much for the prayer for Judy, I have no doubt it was heard. You are able to connect with Judy on a different level because of what you've been through yourself and I'm sure it will help her to be strong and get through this a little better.
I don't want to get too personal or mushy here but I'm thinking (and hoping) you might be able to grieve and let some of your own pain go now. Sometimes the frustration and anger of "what shouldn't have had to happen" is more powerful than our strength to let it go.......we feel like we need it to keep us going and stay focused.
Sometimes it isn't until a situation beyond our control forces us to face it head-on that we can then use it constructively......in helping Judy, you are also helping yourself over that giant hurdle that has been looming for a long time. I only hope that you will now be able to find some peace. You definitely deserve it and I pray that the road ahead of you is no longer burdened by pain from the past.....you are a strong, remarkable person.
Bless you for sharing and for caring!
