Introduction

The quality of treatment in a drug rehabilitation center is determined by many factors, one of which is the level of professionalism and expertise of the staff in handling such matters. You will see later on some of the important factors you may want to consider while choosing a drug rehabilitation center for your recovery and freedom from drug or alcohol addiction. Factors to Consider when Selecting a Rehab Facility One of the most basic things to consider is the type of facility your condition applies to. As an addict, you first need to see a medical professional who will assess you and recommend the best rehab facility that will be most beneficial to you. Basically, there are three kinds of rehab facilities; Long term Residential,

Short term Residential and Outpatient Treatment Centers

Long-term treatment programs usually last no less than 6 months and in some cases can be up to a year while short term care centers last anywhere from a couple of weeks to 4 months. Another thing to consider is your own personal individual needs. Christian patients particularly may want to get into a rehab program that is Christian based. They feel like such a facility will provide them not only with recovery but also restore their Christian faith. Patients who are not Christians may also want to get proper

Christian counseling in addition to getting treatment

It goes without saying that budget is also a deciding factor when selecting a rehab facility that suits you. As a patient or the one who is footing the bill, you will typically go for a facility that is friendlier to your pockets yet offers good quality services.

If a patient has special needs, for example; if they are handicapped, they will consider certain needs. A rehab center that tends to handicapped patients or at least has handicapped enabled facilities like ramps is better suited to tend to them. There is also the choice between a local rehab and a rehab abroad. This is a personal decision to make. You, as the patient, will assess yourself and know which scenario provides you with the best chance of recovery. Some people choose to go to rehabs very far from home to avoid temptations of relapsing while some choose rehabs closer to home in order to feel like they are in familiar grounds and are welcomed.

On a recent day, several boys walked down a dusty road in the southern Africa country of Zambia. They spoke of dreams of one day being a mechanic, a teacher, or a pilot. Just like boys everywhere, they saw a bright future full of accomplishment and adventure. They could not imagine the giant hurdles that are in the way of the Zambian child who wants to better his or her life through a higher education.

According to United Nations statistics, only 38% of boys and 36% of girls in Zambia attend high school. The literacy rate for young women in Zambia is 58.5%, with young men only slightly ahead at 70.3%.  Zambian government spending on education ranks 170th out of 173 countries ranked. These are dire statistics. However, Global Samaritans is an organization based in Union Point, GA – a small town east of Atlanta – that is doing something to reverse the trends.

A school bus plays a big role in their plans.

Global Samaritans was founded by husband and wife physicians Bo and Ruby Cheves in 2001 after they spent two years as missionary doctors and realized the need for an orphanage to care for the Zambian children who were losing their parents to the AIDS epidemic. They founded Global Samaritans Orphanage and immediately began to take in orphaned children. As the children grew older, the need for a high school education was clear. An important part of the mission statement for Global Samaritans is to overcome the dismal Zambian education statistics and “raise the next generation of Zambian leaders”. However, while the children are able to complete grades 1-7 in a school within easy walking distance of the orphanage and grades 8 and 9 at the school built on the orphanage grounds, high school grades 10-12 is only available by moving to a boarding school many hours away.

According to Erin Porter, Executive Director of Global Samaritans, boarding school is an expensive proposition. It also requires a frightening adjustment for the children. Porter says, “Imagine living through the pain of losing your parents and now being forced to leave your home, among people who love and care for you, and go to live in a boarding school many miles away.” She said that the children attending boarding school had to spend every day for 9 months of the year away from home.

Global Samaritans arrived at a solution. Attendance at a day school in the nearby city of Livingstone would allow the children to live at the orphanage and travel to school each day, returning each night. However, reliable transportation was needed. Global Samaritans therefore launched a GoFundMe campaign that has thus far netted over $4000 in donations toward obtaining a bus. The goal is to raise $50,000 in order to be able to purchase a quality dependable bus.

Porter says, “We are looking forward to getting the bus so that the children at our orphanage will not have to go to boarding schools. We will also be able to use the bus for high school sporting events, field trips, and other extracurricular events.”

Those who are interested in donating are encouraged to go to the GoFundMe campaign site at http://www.gofundme.com/globalschoolbus

Studies have proven that a faith based rehab program does have a longer lasting effect and impact, in terms of the recovery of the patient.

Introduction

Simply put, the effects of drug addiction have a direct impact on one’s private and public life. Christian teachings remind us that Christ can and will deliver all from worldly traps and bondage like addiction. By working through his people, Christ’s power gives strength to people to get into and continue walking the path of life free from addiction. Studies have proven that a faith based rehab program does have a longer lasting effect and impact, in terms of the recovery of the patient. Benefits of choosing a Christian based drug rehabilitation program far outweigh the demerits and some of these are explained in the next section.

Benefits of Using a Christian Based Drug Rehab Center

For one, it offers the addict or the patient both traditional rehab programs as well as programs based on the principles of Christian and Bible teachings. The patient is encouraged through Bible teachings and even given relevant biblical examples of people who might have gone through similar ordeals and the problems they suffered. This can be quite inspirational to the patient and only serves to restore the addict on the right path. Christian based rehab centers are not only meant for Christians, but they do accept even non-Christians in their programs. So there is really no discrimination while admitting patients. It’s open for all people who need help overcoming drug addiction.

Faith based programs look at addiction as spiritual and psychological in nature as opposed to the scientific approach which looks at it more like a physical problem. This is a refreshing approach given that drug addiction is something that affects the mind, mood and emotions of a person. It has a direct influence on a person’s decisions and as such should be given a fresh perspective. They also serve to restore lost flock or Christians who had lost their way back to the path of Christianity by strengthening their spirit and reminding them that Jesus accepts everyone who seeks him. Patients are also reminded of bible based teachings they might have forgotten through group and personal Bible studies, worship and counseling from pastors. The group based studies also boosts the patient’s self-worth and self-esteem. These kinds of teachings ensure that the recovery patient’s faith is strengthened and that they retain abstinence and avoid relapse even when they leave the center.

San Francisco, California – September 1, 2015 – The recent hacking of Ashley Madison’s website revealed over 39-million member names. Maybe not all members are actual cheaters, it will never be known, but it is an indication of the failure of the institution of marriage. Many people have tried to come-up with a logical explanation of why so many marriages, at least 50%, result in divorce. Tim Patten has released his new book, “Why I Cheat: Men, Marriage, and Cheating”, in an attempt to add some clarity to the subject.

This is a compilation of several men’s stories on how they liberated themselves from the rigid constraints of societal standards; an enduring collective of “coming of age” campfire stories meant mainly for male ears. “Why I Cheat” is a collection of 11 real-life couples’ stories and how they traveled down unique pathways to achieve their desired career and relationship goals.

The book also lists over 400 reasons or obstacles men should consider before getting married, called the hook-up guide for men.

• Avoid complex traps of bad dates and marriage 

• Understand how monogamy stifles altruism and creativity  

• Enjoy a passionate occupation, helping yourself and others, and 

• Embrace your inner nature and sex drive. 

During a recent press conference, Tim made these comments, “Through this book, I want to speak up for men everywhere. Men do not have a women’s studies or a large political movement that educated men about violence, jealousy, power and marital ownership. So we use books and social media. Whether you’re seeking to liberate yourself from abuse, build societies new inventions, cope with jealousy, or just start having fun again, you can find a path that leads to freedom and victory in Why I Cheat.” Tim goes on to say, “Men, it’s time to fight back and to reclaim your independence. Freedom is here. This self-help guide contains life lessons and instructions for empowering yourself, escaping oppression by marriage, and enjoying more sex.”

“Why I Cheat” has created quite a buzz on the Men’s Forums and Blogs. Reader Testimonials have attested to why this 375-page book is hard to put down. It has become a must read for all men either married or unmarried. Take a look at what Marcus Brown, a verified reviewer on Amazon.com, had to say, “The stories in this book are written in such detail, and gives clear examples of the dynamics and turning points of relationships when women become controlling, violent, deceptive and selfish. After completing the book, the reader will have a clear understanding as to how men can slowly and subtly experience stress, heartache, loss of identity and self-worth while in harmful relationships with toxic women.”

Most of us remember a point in our young adult years when we felt overwhelmed by the challenges of life that involved school, family or friends. You probably had the help of a trusted confidante to ease you through these troubled times. For many young people, there is just no one there for them; without the emotional support they require, many call succumb to serious emotional disorders like depression, substance abuse or, even, suicide. A service called Nightline offers troubled teens and young adults a social safety net which can help them work through their crises.

Nightline is a student-run organization that originated in the United Kingdom and has helped countless collegiate students. In the U.K., there are 36 Nightlines with partnerships with 90 universities, offering services to almost 1.5 million students. A new chapter is set to open in Denmark and will mirror the core principles of the parent organization which include confidentiality, anonymity, non-judgmentality, and non-directionality in both English and Danish. Nightline seeks to provide a safe and unrestricted space for students to openly express themselves without fear of judgment or bullying.

After working with the London branch of Nightline, Julia Florentine has initiated plans to establish a chapter in Copenhagen. With a collegiate community of almost 50,000 students, Denmark is a fertile ground for this type of student-run social service. In order to open this new chapter, the Nightline team will need a Coordinator, Assistant, volunteer training program, office space, and promotional programs, which will cost almost €135,000. In order to raise these funds, Julia and her team have sponsored a crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo and is asking the international community to support this important and humanitarian project. Not only will you be rewarded with the satisfaction that you are helping to save the lives of Danish students, but you are also eligible for perks like Special Donor status, handwritten Thank You notes, or a meeting with the Coordinator.

Almost every modern office is outfitted with a computer, and while they serve a useful function, they are often ugly and aesthetically unappealing. A French design company has developed an elegant computing solution that replaces these eyesores with a beautiful and highly functional computer, the Wood Kubb. The Wood Kubb is a compact computer that is encased in a natural wood shell, and possesses top flight features like an i3 or i5 processor, Wi-Fi, Windows 10 OS and HDMI ports. With the Wood Kubb, the once sterile work space will sport a elegant, natural aesthetic.

The Wood Kubb is the brainchild of veteran IT designer and executive Jean Christophe Agobert, who was inspired by a nature trip to integrate technology with natural materials. After three years of intensive research, design and testing, and collaboration with Intel, Jean developed the Wood Kubb. Consumers may choose components like processors, memory, and operating system, but the Wood Kubb comes standard with four USB ports, mini-display port, mini-HDMI port and Wi-Fi antennas. In its final design, the Wood Kubb is cubic, measuring less than five inches to a side and is encased in white ash, brown ash or elm. Each wood case is the finest quality wood with an exquisite finish that will add warmth and chic décor to any office or home.

The Wood Kubb has already generated enormous buzz, but Jean and his team are asking the public to help support this important project by participating in their Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign. Backers will not only be helping bring the Wood Kubb to market sooner, but can also reserve a Wood Kubb of their own at a steep discount. Backers may choose models with i3 or i5 Intel core processors, 8 to 16 GB of memory, Linux or Windows 10 operating systems, or 128 or 256 GB SSD.

The African nation of Liberia is the oldest democracy on the continent with a rich history and traditions that stretch back more than a century and a half. Currently home to more than four million residents, Liberia – like many of its neighbors – has a large population that lives below the poverty line (85 percent). In the past decade civil war and recently the Ebola epidemic played a very antagonistic role for Liberia’s economic development. Humanity First is working in Liberia to promote personal economic development for Liberian youth by providing vocational training so young people can find meaningful jobs and expand their careers and means of livelihood. More than 800 Liberians have earned certifications as auto mechanics, electricians, construction workers, plumbers and air conditioning repairmen since the Humanity First school was established in 2011.

These graduates were able to attend and complete these vocational programs through educational subsidies supported by international donors and the efforts of volunteers. After completing these programs, these professionals can use these valuable skills to provide services in their communities, thereby earning a living wage for themselves and their families. Many of our graduates went on to find jobs in local corporations established in Liberia such as Liberia Electricity Corporation, Liberia Petroleum Refining Company, and Cellcom Mobile Services, while others established their own businesses. Each vocational training course is six months in length and is 70 percent subsidized.

In an effort to train more students in in-demand areas, Humanity First is planning to add courses in automobile operations and computer literacy. They are also updating labs to provide up to date practical training and refurbishing infrastructure to improve the educational environment. Graduates will be able to perform in a number of lucrative business environments after completing the training in their respective trades.

Humanity First is asking the public to help improve the lives of underprivileged Liberians by investing in their education. A small financial contribution to their Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign will help lift a family out of poverty and buoy an entire community by seeding transferable skills. In addition to receiving enormous satisfaction from helping the needy in this nation, when you donate to this project, you can also receive valuable perks like hats, T-shirts, shirt pins, memorialization plaques, or naming rights to a classroom.

Greenville, S.C. – Stesso LLC, a Greenville-based apparel start-up offering premium quality clothing products launched a Kickstarter campaign in order to introduce their inaugural sock collection and gather sufficient funds to meet initial manufacturing costs. The campaign will run from August 31 until October 5 and the company’s goal is to reach $4,000 in funding.

Stesso, whose design philosophy is deeply rooted in traditional southern styles with a blend of modern designs and cultural influences from around the globe, introduced eight sock designs as part of its launch collection. With product names such as “The Golden Boot,” “The Triple Play” and the “The Dream Team,” among others, Stesso also looks to sports for influence during the design process. Backers are able to pledge as little as $11 or as much as $1,000 depending on the reward they choose.

Online gaming is bigger than ever before, but many of the games are smaller. While landmark games like World of Warcraft aimed to provide an immersive alternative world, many equally popular online games use simple game mechanics and challenges resulting in surprisingly addictive play. With hundreds of thousands of players however these games soon become immensely competitive, and people look to find an edge. Hack Free is a website dedicated to helping people find that edge, and they have created a new guide and tool for dominating the world of Agario.

Agario (http://www.hack-free.com/agar-io-hack-speed-double-size/) is a hugely popular online game in which you control a cell. The mechanics are simple – to avoid being eaten, to eat other cells, and get as big as possible. The difficulty for players is that with so many competitors, there is always a bigger cell waiting to consume you. 

The hack tool (http://www.hack-free.com/agar-io-hack-speed-double-size/) makes things much easier, with the ability to double speed of movement, allowing bigger cells to preserve their mass by escaping larger predators, and double size, which allows players to become larger than their opponents and consume them. They also offer the ability to become invisible, so they are not pursued by other players.

A spokesperson for Hack Free explained, “The hacks in the hack tool are some of the most requested by frequent players, who find themselves frustrated by the virtual glass ceiling created by supergiant predators that can consume those who have worked hard to give themselves a fighting chance. Together with information on how to use the hack tool, we also offer strategic advice as to how to get the best results possible from the game, so individuals can improve their play as well as taking the advantage through the tool.”

The nation of Sierra Leone in West Africa is home to almost 6 million residents, many of whom are still trying to recover from a devastating civil war that killed almost 50,000 and made refugees of almost 2 million. More recently, Sierra Leone was shaken when an outbreak of Ebola claimed the lives of more than 1,500 and infected at least 5,300 others; the severity of this epidemic could have been lessened if more of the Sierra Leone population were able to read the instructions handed out by international aid workers. Many communities are still recovering from the aftermath of this near-fatal outbreak.

There is an ongoing humanitarian crisis in much of Sierra Leone, but there are important projects that signal progress for many of the most needy. In the Rogbomtama village, three local communities have pooled their resources and partnered with the nonprofit social enterprise Education for Hope to build a primary school. This is the first educational opportunity for these impoverished farming communities and will enable their children to obtain the skills to improve their situation.

The Three Communities Elementary School Project is already underway and has begun building a nine room school with the capacity for 160 children. Most of these children will be the first in their families to attend a school, and learn to read and write. With these most important foundational skills, students can participate in the greater business world and rise out of their impoverished circumstances. Education for Hope has already secured books to help these new students build important literacy skills.

The foundation of the Three Communities Elementary School has already been laid, but these communities are asking the international community to assist them in completing Phase II of the project, which will require $10,000 to complete. Your generous support will not only help these young, eager students break the continuing cycle of poverty, but will play an important role in strengthening and healing these communities. While donations of any size are welcome, those greater than $75 will be rewarded with memorialization on the school’s Wall of Donors.

SAN FRANCISCO, CA – Sep 9, 2015 – Since June, Marin’s high end real estate market has been experiencing a significant rise in active listings and home sales and shows no signs of slowing down. Higher-end price categories in particular – $4,000,000 and over – are the newest hot market in the Bay Area Real Estate boom we’ve been witnessing for the last several years, according to Sotheby’s Market Data.

Nicole J. Needham, Bay Area Luxury Realtor, is witnessing the boom first-hand; her clients are giving unambiguous clues as to why. “Location, location, location!” Needham says. “There is nowhere else that encompasses the business growth, economic stability, cutting edge technology, cultural diversity, breathtaking beauty, and near perfect weather.”

Proximity to San Francisco is another key factor. “Many of my clients need to be able to drive into the city every day for work or at a moment’s notice for meetings and getting there is unproblematic from Marin.”

Belvedere has seen the highest rise in homes sold sine June, followed by Corte Madera, Fairfax, and San Rafael. Belvedere has also been experiencing some of the fastest rising sales prices and sales above asking price. As the leader of this trend, the most expensive single-family home in California sold in Marin last month for $47.5 million.

Nicole J. Needham can be reached in the Decker Bullock Sotheby’s International Realty office at 10 Beach Road, Belvedere, CA 94920, 415.309.5025. Her email address is nicole.needham@sothebysrealty.com

Filmmaking is an incredible art form because it combines so many forms of artistry, many of which are only ever subconsciously absorbed by the audience. While dynamic action, swelling music and sound, and stunning performances are all essential to a classic, so is an artistic sensibility that comes from a more classical discipline. Famous Frames helps connect filmmakers with visual artists, illustrators and cinematic storyboarders, and is now showcasing the contributions they have made in a new Famous Work section, to celebrate their 28th year in business.

The Famous Work section features work from Wet Hot American Summer, Furious 7, The Academy Awards, Bates Motel and more. The work includes commercials, TV, video games and more. The work itself is visualized side by the side with the finished product it inspired, showing what a crucial role the artists had in creating the world and the story.

Automobiles are an essential in Australia, where the vast majority of the landmass is still wild, and individuals can drive for days without seeing another human being. Needing a car and getting one are different things however, and the latter can be made unnecessarily difficult by the process of securing a car loan. Auto Loan Center Australia aims to make that process as easy as possible, and has just created a car loan calculator that helps users parse through the terms offered by their recommended providers.

Autoloancenter users only need to complete their personal details and information on the loan amount they need. They then get dedicated, locally-based vehicle finance advice, complete with quotes from a series of recommended providers who compete to offer the best deal. Through this, individuals get their choice of the most competitive quotes, and the new calculator can help them decide on quotes in even less time.

The car loan calculator enables people to enter the interest rate, the amount, and the repayment time in order to calculate how much the monthly repayments will be, how much the total amount paid to the provider will be, and how long it will take to pay off the loan. This offers complete transparency to individuals.

A spokesperson for www.autoloancenter.com.au explained, “We are thrilled to be able to offer affordable auto loans to thousands of drivers across Australia, and our dedicated team of customer service representatives work tirelessly to hunt down and secure the best deals. This is why we are able to offer our 100% satisfaction guarantee. The new loan calculator is the next step in our ongoing mission to provide the very best customer experience. It enables individuals to get a complete transparent account of the deal they are entering into in seconds. We look forward to being able to help individuals find better deals than ever.”

Los Angeles, CA – On August 14 2015, Henry Saine and Colin Ebeling (the movie makers behind the 2013 breakout hit film Bounty Killer) have announced their next project, a short film based on Rinker Buck’s best-selling memoir Flight of Passage. Their company, Just Chorizo Productions, Inc., has launched an Indiegogo campaign to raise funds for this short film.

“In 1966, Rinker and Kern Buck, aged 15 and 17, rebuilt a Piper Cub in their backyard barn. Later that summer, the two brothers flew the small aircraft from their home in rural New Jersey to San Diego in six days, making them the youngest aviators ever to fly coast to coast,” the creators explain, “Their journey captured the attention of newspapers, television stations and eventually the entire country, catapulting the pair to celebrity status amongst aviators and common folk alike.”

A few years ago, while learning to fly, Colin received a copy of Flight of Passage from a dear friend. Upon finishing the book, he immediately passed it on to Henry, saying “We’re making this into a movie someday.” Henry quickly tore through the book and agreed, vowing to do whatever it takes to bring Rinker’s story to the big screen. Fueled with passion, the boys of Just Chorizo tracked down Rinker Buck and told him of their dreams. Inspired by their moxie, Rinker agreed to let Henry and Colin be the guardians of Flight of Passage.

“Rinker and Kern’s story is so full of warmth, humor and adventure that I fell in love with it immediately,” says director, Henry Saine, “It’s an important story, not just for aviation, but to show young people, or anyone for that matter, that you can create your own odyssey, that you don’t have to be bitten by a radioactive spider or get hit by a magical comet to do something great or head out after your life’s passion. You truly have the freedom to become your own hero, not just with flying, but with anything in life. It’s a really inspiring journey.”

In exchange for pledging to the project, backers can gain access to a variety of rewards including a link to watch the film when it’s complete for $10, your name in the credits for $25, exclusive set photos for $35, and more. Backers can also pledge $75 for a personalized video from Christian Pitre, star of Bounty Killer or $500 for a chance to visit the set and be suited up as a crop duster pilot and put IN the action as a featured extra!

Incenser.com, a leading online retailer of herbal incense, launched a generous new affiliate program. Open to all who wish to participate, the new program will deliver commissions of 5% on any sale made through an affiliate link to incenser.com or a specific product on the site. The new program will therefore be an easy, excellent way for bloggers, website operators, and social network participants to earn extra money while spreading the word about Incenser.com’s industry-leading selection of herbal incense.

“After so many requests from our loyal customers, we’re happy to introduce our brand new affiliate program,” Incenser.com representative John Baker said, “We’ve made it incredibly easy to get started, and we think that our new affiliates are really going to enjoy the generous commissions they will earn. With our terrific selection of herbal incense expanding almost every day, we have something for everyone, and our affiliate members are already benefiting.”

Since at least the height of ancient Egyptian civilization four thousand or more years ago, people have made regular use of aromatic incense for a variety of purposes. The burning of incense has been a fundamental rite for thousands of years in a wide range of the world’s religious traditions, for example, from those of ancient China and India to the modern Eastern Orthodox church and other Christian denominations.

Whether for specifically religious purposes or entirely secular ones, incense use is probably even more common today than at any time in the past. Used to a wide range of choice in the market, though, modern consumers tend to be far more selective in their incense buying habits than was the norm in the past.

Among the most environmentally aware and health-conscious incense buyers, for example, dissatisfaction with the low-quality offerings that used to be so common has been rising steadily. Instead, these consumers increasingly seek out all-natural, herbal incense products that burn more cleanly and are much safer for those who use them.

Since the site’s launch, Incenser.com has become a top source of herbal incense for the most demanding and avid incense buyers. With an unmatched, constantly expanding selection of products, the company consistently offers the best prices on the most popular herbal incense formulations, too.

That commitment includes a special wholesale savings program for customers who buy five or more products at a time, with those who place even larger orders being eligible to save as much as 50% compared to the company’s low regular prices. Between this unbeatable value and the company’s impressive product selection and customer service, the new Incenser.com affiliate program represents a valuable opportunity for anybody who is interested in herbal incense.

PISCATAWAY, NJ – August 25, 2015 – Two ectopic pregnancies, three miscarriages, a child passing away at birth, and a failed surrogacy is enough to cause any couple significant grief.

“I believe in God but I still don’t truly understand why this happened to me. He doesn’t give you more than you can handle,” says Lisa Jackson, Piscataway resident and victim of unimaginable tragedy.

Lisa’s story begins like many other happy stories. She met her husband, John, during high school in 1996. They were high school sweethearts and best friends. A decade later, they decided to take the next steps by getting married. Shortly after marriage, they decided to have children because this was a culmination of a lifelong dream. This is when things took an unexpected turn.

Lisa says, “There was never any past health problems. I never had any indication that bringing a child into the world would be such a difficult task.”

Her path to having a child began with a blighted ovum, then two ectopic pregnancies. After these difficulties, they decided to have IVF treatment. However, misfortune followed this as well. The first miscarriage was at 12 weeks. The second miscarriage was a set of twins at 10 weeks. Finally, they suffered a miscarriage at 9 weeks. But then, amidst the pain, something great happened.

“I got pregnant and it was not an ectopic pregnancy. We got past 12 weeks, too. Everything was going so well,” Lisa says.

However, during a routine, twenty-two week sonogram, Lisa’s physician noticed she was unexpectedly going into labor. The medical team decided to perform a cerclage on Lisa. However, one day after the cerclage, her water broke. This resulted in her son being in-utero without amniotic fluid, creating a very dangerous situation.

“At St. Peters University Hospital, a baby’s life comes first, so they wouldn’t even permit early delivery of our son,” Lisa says.

As a result, Lisa’s physician sent the Jacksons to St. Barnabas Hospital. At just twenty-four weeks, Jabez Adrian Jackson was born. However, he only lived for a short time that day. Things were already tragic because of their son’s death, but then, Lisa had to fight for her life. She contracted a blood condition known as Toxemia, resulting from pregnancy complications.

The Jacksons decided to pursue other avenues after this traumatic experience that has left her with anxiety and ongoing health problems. They pursued a surrogate to carry one of their embryos. However, after spending twenty thousand dollars, the surrogate’s uteral lining could not get thick enough and the couple was still without a child. This caused even more pain because of the significant financial loss.

John Jackson, Jr. says, “It is demoralizing, but we just stay believing God has a plan in all of this.”

Lisa and John still have five viable embryos that are being stored. They refuse to give up hope that one day, someone will be willing to carry one of these embryos so a child can be born. But financial difficulties after the failed surrogacy have made this scenario seem impossible so far.

The Jackson’s welcome your prayers, support, assistance, and suggestions. You can reach out to them by contacting 11:59 Media and Public Affairs at: 202-239-5162, or by sending 11:59 Media and Public Affairs an email here: http://www.elevenfiftynineit.com/#!contact/czpl
