I have 4 boys ages 7, 15, 16, & 19. I am disabled with a lot of health issues but my depression has prevented me from doing things with & for them. Marital & family issues also occurred which resulted in breaking contact with my family for awhile for the healing process. My boys have spent the last 5 months at home keeping themselves company & only spending time with their cousins when playing Video games live on the internet. We attended our family reunion before this occurred & they have not attended any birthday parties or sleep overs as well. One son has been newly diagnosed with Major Depression & other issues that have been effected greatly by this but having his birthday pass with no calls & only a few cards had set him on to a slope that caused him to act out upon himself. This also had an effect on my own depression & other issues that caused me to stay in the hospital for 5 days for treatment.

Their Birthdays are 6/27, 9/16, 9/27, & 10/16. They only received a couple of cards each. My oldest was a Senior but there was a mix up & he was unable to walk with his class & we didn't get his diploma in time to have a party during the summer. After speaking with our Dr.s & Therapists we were told it would be best if we had a combined celebration of all four Birthdays & a Graduation Ceremony where my Father would present the Diploma to my son. This would allow them to receive cards, which they love & visit with family & friends of the family, which is the most important thing. The invitations will state that gifts are not expected, it is fellowship & love that is appreciated & it will be a luncheonette after church service. This will also allow me to start the healing process between the family members that I have had to break off contact with. I am disabled & my husband does work but we really need help with buying what is needed for this celebration. We need help with food, utensils, & decorations. I will list the items in comments & other info.
