Yay! I got some donations. Just stopping by to say hi and let you
know. Thank you for your comment, your a sweetie. I was 21 when I
became disabled, so almost same age as you are when you became
disabled, so I understand how hard it is to be young and in bed and a
wheelchair. I wish you the best! Big hugs

Hi Jamel.  Thanks for your encouragement.  That always means a lot at
any age, lol.  I believe you are a fine young man, and you will
succeed in whatever you set your mind to.  Sometimes, we have to go
through some experiences that may be hard, but it brings out the best
in us when we are able to overcome.  Some people get bitter and some
get better.  We decide how we will meet the challenges in our lives,
either with faith or with fear. I certainly pray that you will come
through your life experiences as a champion.  God bless you and your
family.

Hi Jamel.  I am just coming back up out of my pit, so I can't help at
this time.  I understand what it's like to be incapacitated.  I have
had 13 surgeries, 4 on my spine.  I was out of work for 3 years and
almost lost everything.  I am back in a hole trying to save my current
home, but I am making some progress.  I know I will survive this
callenge, just as I believe you will survive your challengs. Just keep
praying, trying, and keeping faith, and have patience.  Sometimes all
of those things are hard to do, but they will see you through.  God
Bless.

Hi Jamal, thank you for the welcome. How old are you? I'm 27. I see
you've gotten some donations, thats great Jamal. I know that when your
sick, bills keep coming, they don't stop do they. Right now, me and my
Mom are buying land to build a wheelchair-accessible house on, so
that's what were working towards. I wish you the best of luck with
your donations, sincerely Penelope and Mom
