Classes to save a dream

Donation protected
I have always worked very hard. At some points in my life even 3 jobs at a time. I have worked in the hair industry for 17 years. I also bartended on the side many of those years and did other various odd jobs. Unfortunately, that is no longer an option for me.

I was born with severe bilateral club feet. Until the last few years other than occassional ankle sprains I was able to work through the pain and problems. As I get older this is no longer the case. I can no longer stand in a salon for hours and hours. Social Security doesn't qualify me for disability because I don't need crutches, yet. I have to change my career trejectory.

I have been offered a once in a lifetime opportunity to get personal training with a notable and talented Broadway wig maker. This would be an incredible opportunity and afford me the ability to not only make a living, but to have a future. In regards to my disability, I could do this job while sitting down and from home. (Hallelujah!)

At the point we are at now, I could never afford the supplies and cost of the classes on my own. It is very humbling to ask for help, as I have always been hard working and independent. I appreciate you reading my proposal.
