Travel to see family living with disability

God bless you all very much to all who contributed for me to see my family. I was there in time to see my 11 year old niece graduate to grade 6. I also visited farms with the kids spending time with farm animals and being outdoors with the family. I spent many hours at the care facility visiting my older Brother. I also was there to see my older Sister settle in to her apartment, I also spent time playing ball with the family dog now three. She misses me a lot now. A Big Heart felt Thank You!!

We all went to dinner together, shared many laughs. There were very few sad moments.

Reuniting with my family, long-term health recovery. This fundraiser will offset my travel expenses. I consider myself to be a nice, friendly kind and caring person. I have helped many people whenever I was able to and I still do today. The Lord helps those who help themselves.

Background About Me: I have volunteered with registered non-profits as a contributor with my art, to be able to help others on social causes to give back to the community and I have helped families in private. I have also kept an active part of the Church community, in the disability arts community. I sell art toward my medical challenges, independence, and housing goals with micro-business development. I also contribute my art to help others and I have for some time. You can find my art on my website by engine search of my name below.

My background also consists of community fundraising for worthy causes with my art.

A few years ago, I was in a serious accident that left me in a life-threatening condition with a Traumatic brain injury, post-concussion syndrome after having fallen and an incomplete spinal cord injury. Today I am still experiencing lingering symptoms. It has been a long road to recovery. Today I also have balance challenges and spatial and inner ear vestibular problems. I came to Vancouver, for a Hospital ambulatory rehabilitation program and long-term recovery. I have participated with the disability community to make art. Here I am with a friend at an art show for people with disabilities. I wanted to go into Artist in Residence however the program was cancelled. I decided to come here.

I put off travelling as unable to fly with concerns of my medical condition and flying affects the inner ear, living with a medical condition makes this challenging as disabled travel also Co Vid times kept me isolated as many of you. I plan to take the train across Canada from Vancouver to Toronto., this is to go see and spend time with my family.

My older brother was recently in Hospital in Ontario, he is now living in a care home and now my older Sister. I also will enjoy seeing my niece, a health advocate warrior survivor and my little niece is now 11 years old. It is very important to me to be able to see my family in person.
