We are really struggling on Chill

[wendy]

Miss Pears who has worked very hard for us, is busy caring for her beloved husband and is not able to help us as a moderator.
I have already told you that I am unwell and Ross will be helping us transfer to bigger things.
I think Mo who has worked for many years, is worn out with it all, but she will let you have her thoughts on this.
Annie, Liz and Bernie work really hard and I am most grateful for what they do.
But you can see we need someone who is going to take an interest in looking for things of interest for us.
It does not take long to do, and all I can say is ask Annie and Liz and Bernie, if they enjoy it. 
Please consider my request and let us know if you do have time, I know there are many of you that don't, and I appreciate and respect this.
So please dont feel guilty.  What we need is a new start for the new year.

Sorry to say, Wendy, that I am really struggling nowadays as hubby required an awful lot of help with pretty much everything.  I  hope that more help can be found

I forgot to tell you that over the Christmas holiday, chill has been used very much, so that brightens me, but I have to remember our moderators who work so hard for us.
This is why I have asked for some help. 
Take a look at the posts Miss Pears used to find for us, or chose items like Maureen, Annie and myself chose.
Anything you find that may be of interest or fun, or sad.
Just three or four a day, is all that is needed, it really doesnt take long to do.

I also forgot to tell you, that I have heard from many members who are having really difficult times, and dont have time to come onto Chill, but they send their love and best wishes.

[wendy]

It is such a sad time and often a difficult time for carers at Christmas, and really, really I do understand.
I have felt terribly lonely this year, I expect it is because Ross is not living here any more.
I have had several members phone me, who have lost loved ones this year, and they have shared their struggles with me.
I am honoured to have so many people think well enough of me to do this, but sometimes I need to ask for help for our moderators on Chill, and this is why I have asked.
We are all human, and have weaknessess and failings, and chill has always been there for support for me and for you.

[wendy]

[Misspears]

[wendy]

thank you Ann
with all the difficulties that you face every day, you still care about the members in Chill
I wish others would feel the same as you, but please remember to look after yourself during this busy time for you.
love to both of you

Well Ann, who is struggling with a very sick husband, has offered her help.
Where is everyone else?
It is always the same members who flog their guts out to find us things, and others just come on and read the stuff and then clear off.
Pathetic.

[debzsanderson]

I am going to make time to come in and post every day and help where I can.

wendy it is good to have carers for this site but what about applying for a grant as its a new year and there is £ 4.3m of support and grants are available from Locality and partners including the Community Development Foundation (CDF) out there and you can apply for some one who could monitor this site regularly for a small wage and those who wont to help can also give them something as a bonus ?
i will  try come on more often and post more  coffeex

[wendy]

thank you for your kindness coffee
