Hi People all over the World. This is Alessandra or better known for somebody as Dj Alexia.

I have worked in the music industry as producer and dj for many years still conducting, with no compensation, a weekly radio show every Saturday on a web radio called Motion FM to entertain

and bring one hour of joy via Music.   I had to give up to my career and honestly with NO REGREATS because I needed to take care full time of my Beloved Mother who died of Alzheimer. After her Departure I went down to a spiral not just with grief but aslo  facing ugly adversities of life: lost the apartment I was living in, left  with nearly  no money and  totally alone I have no syblings nor close relatieves alive .  I was only able to hang on to look for a 9 to 5 job in Italy for sometime I had temporary work and able to support with minimum source. I tried it all but in Italy after 29 years old employers will not hire people that are over 30 because the taxes to be pay on employees over 30 are 40% higher against the one that have to pay  for people of   25/29  years old age.  The spiral continue going down no money to pay rent,  bills, food and finally an eviction from another place where I was renting a room from.  Considering that being orphan no siblings I was lucky to pull it together on my own, yes,  all the 

“ friends”  that once  when I was in the Glam and Fame were around  sadly all of the sudden  they were all gone, disappeared.  I was left alone.  Luckily  I've  landed a short term job as tourist guide that allowed me to save some money. It was time to take a decision  come to London where there are more  job opportunities in various fields. I was so happy to have a chance  and full of hopes to rebuild my life again from ground zero. London wasn’t what I thought and had hope for it I had to hassle to look for jobs in a VERY HIGH competition city. So expensive that my resources were about to dry out again. I finally got  a job through an agency only for 5 months as sale assistant I worked for 14 to 16 hours at day standing  but I needed the money and the job so with no complaint I carried on my duty with integrity and professionally.  One day I started to feel strong pain in my back, my feet will occasionally get numb and my legs felt very weak. I had a consultation with my Doctor which after my description of my symptoms she decided for an MRI. Unfortunately the results of the MRI were quite frighting,  alarming to radiologists which they recommend to be seeing from a neurosurgeon asap. A large cyst was found between the vertebrae and spinal cord causing an acute spinal cord compression  that has put me to high risk of permanent paralysis. On June 22nd I saw the neurosurgeon which explained to me everything in details. The neurosurgeon told me that was a necessity of an immidiate surgical procedure to avoid  any risk of a permanent  paralysis. I am schedule as Urgent Care for the surgery which will take place here in London at the Charring Cross Hospital on July the 17th 2015. Unfortunately I am not able to find an immediate  part time job to raise some money  till  a day before going into surgery, I am in a very difficult financial  situation, the landlady needs her room back by the end of July 2015. I have no one that will take care of me or help me /shelter me. I will need some money for find a new room, the Hospital will only keep me in for 5 days. Money for food, medication, transport to the doctor office for follow up and rehab. I have already ask if there was any kind of  financial and housing help through the UK government but I  am not entitled to none. I need to fill my scarcity for the 2 months (July, August ) then once completely  heal  I will be able to walk ready to find me a job and be auto sufficient /independent. The cost of a room is approximately 500/600£ per month, then food, medicine, transport expenses. I am trying to raise the fund just enough to get me through this difficult time once healthy  and out of danger I will be on my way to healthy life.

I was encouraged by someone to create this Fund Page today although I felt so embarrassed and ashamed about asking for money to People of this World…Then today Sunday June the 28th 2015 in my solitude in bed I found the courage  I've put the pride aside  win the fears and decided to follow that person suggestion Reaching out to people and create this medical, basic Life Supply Fund. I must admit it wasn’t easy but in this World when you have no one next to keen and no sources to help you to stay healthy, alive and continue the Journey I believe it was  well worth it to put the trust in and try.  Writing this abled me to Believe In yourself and Believe that there are people out there somewhere who care with an open heart and with compassion. I do THANK  You All for considering a donation.  Love&Light.  Alessandra.
