Please help me have the gift of walking again

                        THIS IS MY STORY

In June if 2017, I woke up fine but shortly after an hour, I started to feel off. My arm felt like they were asleep, my fingers stop moving and I was having severe chest pain. I was taken to the hospital, where they said it was just anxiety. I was sent home and told to take a nap, that I would feel better when I woke up. 5 hours later I woke up Paralyzed. I was rushed to the hospital, where for the next 16 hours no one believe me when I insisted I was paralyzed. 24 hours went by before anyone took the time to listen. Finally after an MRI was done, it showed that I had an inflammation of the spine, at the C4-C6.

After extensive exams,  they could not find anything that suggested I was ill. I was told I had a Rare Neurological Autoimmune Disorder, with no cure, called Transverse Myelitis. Not much is known about TM in the UK, so there wasn’t many options for any sort of intensive Neuro PT. 

Without intensive Neuro Physical Therapy I don’t have a chance of walking again. 

Now that I am back in the United Stares, I’m excited  to enter into an intensive Neuro physical therapy. My Insurance (Medicaid) does not pay for outside physical therapy. Neuro PT, out of pocket, is nearly impossible to keep up without donations. Your donation would help greatly to improve my quality of life. Being able to be in a training facility that pushes me to my limits, would bring me a sense of worth and accomplishment. Reaching my goal to walk again would give me the freedom to care for myself. With the possibility of a full recovery I would love to return back to work as a model and designer, so that I can be independent. I would love to travel again and live an active and vibrant life. The life I once had.

With your help, my hard work, discipline and consistency, I truly believe I can have a better chance of walking and quality of life. 

Thank you for reading my story and watching my journey. God bless.
