I’m a Christian and paraplegic in a wheelchair for the past 13 years. I’m a Marine Corps veteran and patriot. I spend a lot of time volunteering for NAMI. I tell my story whenever I think it could help someone and give them hope. I’m so grateful to be alive. I wake up knowing I’m going to be in a lot of pain every day, but I decided with God's help to be happy. I love my family and friends very much, and I also spend a lot of time helping addicts. I love my church, the Chapel Jacksonville Illinois, and Bible study fellowships. I’m on disability and everything medical is expensive. I try to show my gratitude wherever I go. It’s hard for me to ask for anything, so doing this is really humbling, but I could always use help. If you can’t help me, message me; maybe I can help you. God is king, and Jesus is my savior and lord. Thank you all. God bless.
