MS struggle

Donation protected
This  charity is to help me fight MS from stealing my dream!!! This is a unique cause and i hope you will find it as important and hold it dear to your heart. I am a jeweler and  a  seamstress I have this unpredictable disease called ms  also known as multiple sclerosis.. I have no desire to be on disability in fact I am asking just the opposite. I  have been paralyzed,  blind  and a bunch of other  flare-ups  due to this unpredictable  illness.I am trying to keep making jewelry, and clothing  which is what I love to do. I hope everyone can relate to this because working in a job that you love is a dream in itself. I make everything by hand including engraving, carving and cutting, making beautiful dresses and other clothing for little girls and boys,so let me tell you now where the fundraising begins. When i was diagnosed I made a decision not to let this disease beat me. I am a mother of three and the most important job I have is to be their role model, and teach them morals value etc. My decision to not let MS win was to show my children never to let anything keep you down its ok to get knocked down, but you always need to get back up. Also that work is a big part of life and helping them to find their way in functional society. I have fought through this financially and emotionally up until now! As you can imagine this disease has recently making it harder for me to work and it's great I have loyal customers when I need a little extra time, but I have found a solution to my problem. It is a machine that will make it a lot easier on my hands. It cuts metal, engraves and carves wax. I am half way there with the money. The machine would be god sent, if there is a jeweler willing to donate. The machine I need with all the essentials totals around 16 thousand$ and I need 6000 more,which is hard to save when you have to pay for medication drs aling with keeping a roof over your family's head asking with bills of you love in the real world you no what I'm talking about! This is very near and dear to my heart, for it helps me give my children a skill if they desire for the future in more ways than one. I hope you can find it in your heart to help me with my fight against this disease, and while teaching my children lessons to overcome anything life may throw their way, and what other way to do it than through the use of advances in technology, and most importantly maintaining a great work ethic!  I also am not asking for anything for free anyone who donated I have rewards for, because I definitely appreciate all the support!!! I wanna thank anyone who helps  me fight this horrible illness!!!
