Warning to all
Please beware of Ellen DeGeneres. Her giveaway scams is spreading on social media. The Real Ellen DeGeneres, who doesn’t even make any contact with her fans on Messenger. Here’s a fake name of ꓰꓡꓡꓰꓠ.ꓓꓖꓰꓠꓠꓰꓣꓰꓢ, please know the difference in spelling her last name. Facebook should be monitoring their system better. Question, when a person signs up to get on Facebook do they make sure your profile is real or not? It really looks like scammers and hackers are controlling Facebook now.

1 Timothy 6:10-11
For the love of money is the first step toward all kinds of sin. Some people have even turned away from God because of their love for it, and as a result have pierced themselves with many sorrows. O Timothy, you are God’s man. Run from all these evil things, and work instead at what is right and good, learning to trust LORD and love others and to be patient and gentle.


The breakdown of birth at an American hospital is astounding. That's for certain 25,000 would be cheap.

To give perspective had my last babies nearly 12 and 17 years ago respectively. The 12 yr old was an emergency C-section. Just delivery (pulling him up from uterus) was 1700$ not counting all the OR and stay fees. His bill was significantly more of course due to his situation.

My daughter born vaginally and fairly normally in a room delivery (catching her as they call it) 2500$ not counting the fees associated to her birth. But hers was also high because she had 2 bills due to failed induction and hospital stay that same week . They sent me home after I failed to progress with medication. Tried again 3 days later ugh.

When I got the breakdown bills I was like thank goodness for insurance but still. Makes you wonder how much is used vs what you're billed for and why things that cost them pennies are billed as hundreds of dollars . No wonder that while we are one of the richest first world countries we are still one of the sickest and limited on medical care.

Anyway good job momma and daddy and best wishes for a happy and healthy future with your little one. It's an amazing story with a great outcome.
