Entry for Danyil

Tuesday, May 3rd, 2011

I have known my wife Danyil since 8th grade. I have always loved her and knew I wanted her for my wife. She is an  ex-model and has been used and abused her whole life. Her mother used to beat her, make her do all the house work while her 2 brothers got to play. Her mom never attended any school or sporting events she did and constantly puts her down to this day.
She got pregnant at 24 and came home one day to find her fiance had packed his bags and left. Her modeling career was over because she now worked 2 jobs just to make it. She endured a failed marriage and substance abuse issues.

Later in life, our paths crossed by chance at a local store when we were both out with our children.  After that day and I knew GOD had brought her back to me. I watched our lovely little girls play like they knew each other for years. I knew I would marry her. I invited her to church that week where she was saved and baptized, and ended her substance abuse cold turkey  ”clean to this day with no desire to turn back”.

Blending our two extended families has sometimes been a challenge! . She cares for our four children on a daily basis, and has been faced with difficulties and depression since she was a child. She lost her figure for the sake of our children and she is a stay home mom who starts beauty college next month . I won’t list all the things she does as a mother and wife because common sense tells us what all a mom of 4 does from morning to night. 

To get a special day to herself and to look beautiful would mean a lot more to her than just a pampered day; she would remember it for life. She deserves way more than I can provide on a blue collar wage. She needs a break. Please consider her for this gift.

Thank You Very Much,

Jason

Entry for Lisa

Tuesday, May 3rd, 2011

Why my mother deserves to win a Total Mom Rejuvenation:  My mother, Lisa, is a beautiful woman and a mom of two, a son and a daughter. 

While getting married at a young age and becoming pregnant soon after, she did not let that stop her drive to succeed.  After my brother and I were born my mother went to night school so she could get a degree to support her family.  She worked hard during the day and left work to go straight to school even though it must have been hard leaving two young ones at home. 

My whole life my mother has always given to her family before herself.  She would go without as long as everyone else was taken care of.  She worked for a company for over 15 years and recently got laid off because of a company merger. 

I want to nominate my mother because she would never nominate herself.  I want to give back to her for all the times she has helped me out.  She has worked so hard to help me with school expenses even when money was tight and many other things when I was younger.  She deserves a day to herself.  I love you mom.  This is why I believe she deserves a Total Mom Rejuvenation.

Entry for Zandrea K.

Tuesday, May 3rd, 2011
I would like to nominate Zandrea K.  for your mothers day revitalizing and rejuvenation week.

Zandrea gave birth to our beautiful baby girl 4 weeks early on Oct. 21, 2010 only after being diagnosed with Preeclampsia and being bed ridden for 2 months. Her blood pressure was through the roof and she was unbelievable swollen. Following a difficult delivery,  Zandrea had to have surgery and a blood transfusion but made a good recovery.

We were set to move from Iowa to Noblesville IN one month after delivery and though she was still healing, Zandrea stayed strong and helped move and took great care of our little 4.3 pound baby girl Faith. 3 months later she started having more problems and ended up in the hospital and was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis. This caused her to lose a ton of weight and for about a month she could barely move off the sofa. She still did her best to take care of our baby and kept a smile on her face. She is doing better now but has been through so much in the past 6 months she deserves a treat. Unfortunately I am not working yet since the move so this is a good opportunity for me to give back to her.

She is a truly amazing mother and person.

Entry for Laurie R.

Tuesday, May 3rd, 2011

To the Wonderful Staff at Ology:

I am writing in response to the request for nominations for the “Total Mom Rejuvenation Contest” seen in the Current. I am nominating my wife, Laurie R. Laurie is the loving mother of 2 beautiful young children, ages 7 and 4, a very caring wife to me and a generous caregiver to her mother who now lives with us in Westfield.

Due to a very hectic schedule and a vast geographic area I cover for my company, Laurie is forced to deal with every daily dilemma that occurs in running a household and raising a family by herself. In addition to working full-time as a teacher, she also manages to run the kids to the doctor, sporting events and church activities. When I am away she has to have the kids ready, drop them off at daycare by 7:00am, work till 3:00pm, run as many errands as possible, pick the kids up by 4:00pm, dinner at 6:00 followed by homework and bath time.

Laurie’s father passed away in January and her mother moved in with our family in February, adding to her list of responsibilities.

I try to find ways to relieve her stress and provide time for relaxation, but it seems there is always something “else” we have to do.  My wife does an excellent job juggling all of her responsibilities and somehow has managed to stay sane over the years.

Entry for Rebecca

Tuesday, May 3rd, 2011
I would like to nominate my daughter for the Mother’s Day Contest.
She is the most incredible Mom. She has 4 children ages 10 months, 4,5 and 14. One of her children suffers from a genetic disorder called Prader Willi Syndrome, and  is also mildly retarded. Rebecca cares for her and the other 3 practically by herself. Dad is always busy. She never has time for herself. She so deserves a little pampering. Please choose my daughter. She truly is the most wonderful person. I don’t know how I could get so lucky.

    I would like to vote for my wife Rebecca Lennon. She is the most wonderful mother ever. Not only does she take care of our 4 kids she has fibromyalgia and headaches on top of it all. She really could use some spa time. I wish I could afford to send her but I can’t. Please choose my amazing wife.

  2. Amy Greene says:

    I would like to vote for Rebecca also. She is a great mother, wife, daughter, and friend. She takes the time to help others whenever she can. She deserves a day for herself.

  3. Beth Ann says:

    My Niece Rebecca has overcome many difficult obstacles thrown at her starting at a very young age.
    The loss of her beloved Grandparents, with whom she was extremely close to, at a very tender young age and finally reuniting with her Father sadly at the end of his life.
    She walked through a very hard and unfair childhood struggled through it and has landed on the other side arms open giving freely.
    I believe because if her difficultities early on she has matured into a very caring & compassionate Mother. With her open heart and generous spirit she a shining light. I hope you will give her a day she deserves.

Entry for Crystal

Tuesday, May 3rd, 2011

On behalf of my 5yr old and 2yr old, I would like to nominate my wonderful wife and the mother of our 2 children,  Crystal. 

On top of being a mother of 2, Crystal works 40+ hours a week and for the past several months she has been training to run the mini marathon in Indianapolis. Our girls are active in dance, soccer, swim and tee ball and she does not miss any of their activities. 

Crystal is always on the go and would rather do something for her family then herself.  Crystal very seldom has time just for herself to relax and is so deserving of this relaxing, revitalizing and rejuvenating week.  Thanks for your time.

Entry for Velda

Tuesday, May 3rd, 2011

My mother, Velda, should win the contest because she is a hard worker and never misses a beat.

Her aging parents live with her and she does everything for them from cooking all their meals, cutting and fixing their hair and so on. My grandpa has Alzheimer’s and my grandma can hardly walk. Not only does she care for them, but she takes care of my three little boys. Since I am a single mother she helps get them on and off the bus and with their homework. Feeds them, baths them and takes them to doctor’s appointments. My mom is always on the go. From doctor to doctor between herself, my grandparents and my children. She rarely has anytime to herself to relax.

My mom has always been a tough lady, but I have noticed a change in her since taking on this huge responsibility. She deserves some pampering and time to herself.

Thank you for your consideration!

Entry for DOLLIE S.

Tuesday, April 26th, 2011
I want to nominate my mother Dollie.  
Her whole life,  she has always taken care of my sister and I, while working 6 days a week. And then I had children of my own- and she has helped me take care of them for the last  18 years.
Without her, I can’t imagine where we would be. I would love to see her have a makeover that she so deserves.

  1. Dollie is a wonderful person! She gives herself 100% of the time! One Great Lady! Takes care of her family, both young and old! Thank you for giving us a chance to give back to her! Pauline McDaniel

  2. Jody DeBord-Young says:

    I love Dollie just as my own mommy – Dollie helped to take care of me when I was younger after my parents got divorced and my mom was struggling. I will forever be thankful for Dollie…………..love you

  3. Kelley says:

    Dollie is so deserving of a makeover she always puts herself last and is so deserving of a makeover.

  4. Lisa Newkirk says:

    I think Dollie would be a perfect candidate for this makeover. I have known her for a long time. She is such a great mother/grandmother. Always putting her family before herself. She most def deserves this makeover!!

  5. Moe says:

    After reading these comments and Lola’s submission, I think Dollie would look at this and think she would not deserve it. She takes care of her kids, her husband, her family, her friends, her home, her business that she and her husband own, etc. etc. It is what she does, she doesn’t know any other way, so anyone saying she deserves something for all of her love/work – she would just say it is her life.
    So on that note – she deserves the world and if a makeover is included in that, good for her.

  6. Maryann Gaines says:

    Dollie is the epitome of the perfect Mom! She is always serving others and never takes the time for herself. Dollie deserves this make-over more than any Mom in Indy!

  7. Alexis says:

    Dollie is a great lady who is so much fun and deserves a makeover!

  8. Kim White says:

    I could not think of any other mom (besides my own) who deserves this. I have been a family friend for over 15 years and have watched her give and give to help her children. She never thinks selfishly and is a beautiful person on the inside and derserves to be even more beautiful on the outside. I LOVE YOU DOLLY SETTLE!!!!!

  9. Chris says:

    Dollie is someone you love to meet and once you do you hope she becomes a part of your life. Pick Dollie and you to may meet this wonderful Lady! You may be able to do a makeover on the outside but there is no making over Dollie from the Inside! She has that. A Big Heart.

  10. Colleen Mitchell says:

    Give this lady a makeover! She truly deserves it! We love her!

  11. Cindi says:

    Give Dollie a makeover!! She so deserves it. Everyone else has kinda covered the “why’s”, so just do it!

  12. Katie says:

    I have never meet Dolly but heard some amazing stories. I know she is a hard worker and an even better mother! Good luck Dollie!

  13. lauren says:

  14. Beth says:

    Dolly is a hard working women who LOVES her family. She deserves to have some pampering!

  15. Lola says:

    Mom has ALWAYS put her family and friends first and herself last. She is truly one of the most loving and caring people that I have ever seen. She has stood by me through the good and bad and has never judged me for any decisions I have made. She would help a complete stranger if they needed it. I haven’t met one person in my life with a heart like my mother. I truly am blessed to be her daughter. Love you Mom!!

  16. Leslie says:

    I think this would be AMAZING for my mom Dollie Settle!! Shes a very loving person! She’s has been always there 100% for her family and friends. She is my mother and my best friend. She is beautiful inside and out no doubt but I think this would make her feel soo much better about herself. Love you momma : )

  17. Ashley says:

    Dollie is not my biological mom but she is my 2nd mommy. She would do anything for me and Im not even her own daughter. She never does anything for herself because she always puts others first. I think that this would be great for Dollie. She deserves something that is all for her!! I love you Dollie Sue Settle!

  18. Karisa says:

    Lola and Leslie are so lucky to have Dollie as a mom. She is so sweet and caring. She always has her girls and grandkids best interest at heart. Dollie is a beautiful woman but needs to be pampered by this makeover! No better candidate for this makeover!!! Happy Mothers Day Dollie!!!

  19. ANGEL says:

    I THINK IF ANYONE DESERVES TO WIN THIS CONTEST DOLLIE DOES. SHE IS A VERY SPECIAL PERSON WITH A LOT OF LOVE IN HER HEART! SHE DESERVES TO GET SOMETHING FOR HERSELF ALWAYS HELPING OTHERS.
    WHAT A MOTHERS DAY GIFT THAT WOULD BE!

  20. Chris Collins says:

    I’ve met Dolly a couple times and she has always been very sweet and gracious to me. I am a friend of her daughter Lola, but feel I am also her friend as well. I hope that she gets to do this because she is very deserving and would never do it for herself. Dolly, I hope you have a great Mother’s Day! You are truly a great lady.

  21. Lacey says:

    It is obvious based on everyones responses that no one deserves this more than Dollie! I agree 100 percent. She takes wonderful care of her family. She has a great heart and an even greater personality to match. Love you Dollie Sue!

  22. Jaycee says:

    I vote Dollie ALL THE WAYY!!! we love you :)

  23. DONNA HARRISON says:

    Dollie is my little sister. She is a loving and kind person and a wonderful Mother and friend and an even better Sister. We have a wonderful mother that taught us well how to be a good Mom. Dollie lives her life to take care of others and she so deserves to be taken care of and pampered. She probably doesn’t think that because she is also humble. I hope that you can see from the comments that she has touched many lives. Just to testify to her kindness. We were at a family birthday party and a young mother was there who was very stressed because her baby was not feeling well and she wasn’t sure what to do. Everyone offered advise but as the young woman left the party I saw my sister follow her out and hand her some money to go to the pharmacy and get some medicine for her baby. She does acts of kindness like this all the time. I love her and hope that she can have a chance to be treated special because she truly is special.

  24. Janet G. says:

    I have never had the pleasure of meeting Ms. Dollie, but I have heard wonderful things about her.
    I know she has raised a wonderful daughter(s) who wants nothing but the best for her mother! I too hope she wins this make over…she certainly deserves it!

  25. Teresa S. says:

    Very deserving.

  26. Tammy May says:

    Dollie is a very sweet person. You will not find anyone with a bigger heart!!!! She will help anyone that needs it! No question ask!!! She is my sister in law. But, I feel like she is my sister! If anyone deserves a makeover it’s Dollie!!! We all love her she is the best!!!

Entry for: LINDA Q.

Tuesday, April 26th, 2011

I 110% believe my mom deserves to win the Total Mom Rejuvenation contest for many reasons.  My mom was a young mom that had two children by the age of 23.  She gave up her younger years and started a family.  Since I can remember,  my mom has worked Full-time and overtime for the past 25 years. As a child,  anything I needed help with she was there to help me.  She would work a 8-12 hour day, to come home get dinner ready, help me with my homework take us to practices, softball games, tennis matches whatever.  She was always on the run. 

 

I don’t ever remember her ever taking time out for herself.  It was always about us kids, making sure she gave us every opportunity she could.  If I needed a new tennis racket or wanted to go to tennis camp and we couldn’t afford it, she would pick up extra days at work or work overtime to make it happen.  I just remember her always doing whatever she could to make my childhood a good one. 

My mom works as a letter carrier for the USPS.  She is out in the elements on a daily basis.  When a lot of other professions take the day off because of the “snowpocalypse” she is out there making sure the mail gets to your door.  Whether its raining cats and dogs, is 95 degrees and humid or snowy/icy outside she is out in the elements making sure everyone gets their favorite magazine or even for some that social security check.  I remember her coming home after a long day when it was zero degrees and not even complaining about it.  She would come home and make sure everyone else was OK before herself.  I truly believe she deserves this rejuvenation.  She has worked hard all 51 years of her life and I believe she would be a very grateful recipient of the rejuvenation.

ENTRY for ANNE C.

Monday, April 25th, 2011

I wish to tell you about my daughter, Anne C.  She is caring, helpful and has a heart of gold.

In her life, she has had many ups and downs.  Her four plus ‘ups’ are her three boys, her daughter, and her husband.  In addition to the straight A’s the boys have, they are involved in many traveling sports, baseball, basketball, swimming, etc.  With all of this, she has gone back to college to become a registered nurse  and is making good grades.

She has been the rock of her house for the last few years since her husband was called up by the military for tours in Afganistan and Iraq.  He has also been called out of the state seeking work in his other career as an electrical contractor as there are few jobs available in Indiana.  This has gone on for many, many months.

She was the one who finished the house they started building during the first military tour.  This was her down time when he was gone. 

Now things are looking up.  He has found a job in southern Indiana which will require a household move in the future, as well as completing her RN schooling. 

Anne is passionate at what she does, and will help anyone at any time, and never says no to anyone in need!
