Just a few years after graduating from The University of Georgia I had started realizing lifelong dreams; that is when I began experiencing symptoms I thought was a pinched nerve. It was strange that two Emory neurologist couldn't diagnose me and passed on to the third. You can imagine my shock being told at 26 I would be dead before 30 from ALS. The last 28 years have been filled with challenges, but this last one has thrown me for a loop. Having a caregiver poison me was totally unexpected to say the least. This has created a financial impossibility temporarily. My budget can afford a live in caregiver, which I'm searching for, but I am forced to hire an agency (much more expensive) until a permanent caregiver can be hired. I was referred to an excellent agency that is charging me $13.50 an hour, which is cheap for an agency. While I negoiated a good rate agency that is $324 a day to stay alive. Blows my weekly caregiver budget in two days. I'm not worth it beyond what I can't pay for.. I humbly ask for a handout. I am sorry. I thought I had made myself financially independent to fund my existence I just didn't calculate someone poisoning me. Thank you so much so very much for your consideration. I desperately desire the opportunity to complete my autobiography hoping it will encourage others.

Wishing you all the best!
