Help Donald get back to himself...
Donation protected
Donald was diagnosed with Tourettes syndrome at the age of 3, struggling all his life but pushing through day by day. Good grades in school, a whole lot of friends that care about him and never wanting to miss a day of being with them. Then 2020 and the pandemic hit, I know it hit us all, but Donald during this time was diagnosed with Schizophrenia. Now for Donald, or Donny as his friends have nicknamed him does not want to socialize for fear that he will be treated differently and that the voices in his head will get the best of him. Not many people know of what has been happening with Donald, we have had to share things with his school and have realized that his attendance is no longer an option it is his senior year and he just can not attend, he is devastated. Lockdowns have made it almost impossible for him to communicate with his close friends and everyones fear of COVID has put a hugh strain on the ability to throw a get together. Donny has been sitting at home with almost no visits except for the counselors that are working with him, we have kept him home for the past 11 months even with them believing he would be better in a hospital, NO WAY, as a family we have decided that what happens happens, we will not lock our son away where we can not visit, things at home have been tough not much sleep for us all some days as you all know are better than others and somedays you just don't want to face....BUT we are a strong family that has been through alot in the past 20yrs and some how we know the Lord will guide us through. Due to the circumstances my work has been rocky so mortgage and other bills keep piling up. So if you can find it in your hearts to help an 18 yr old young man in his graduation year of high school, and help his family with bills. Thank you and God Bless...Thank you so much for reading about my son to me he is everything and I will never give up.....
