Biography
I am the mother of three wonderful children. One having some special needs. I am a stay at home single mother with Crohn's disease. Life hasnt been easy for us but we have made the most of it! The kids are happy and I am happy for the most part.
5 years ago whn My son was born I noticed small things that didnt seem right. He didnt like to be held,always crying,not talking alot. When I brought these things up to his pedi he just said that these things are normal for a child with colic. We moved and we started going to another pediatrician. Still I would voice my concerns and ALWAYS be put off until finally I asked what harm would it be to refer him to thse different specialists? That if there was not something wrong no doctor would take my son on as a patient just because I have feelings that things are not ok. He agreed with this(finally agreed with something!)Well As much as I didnt like to hear that my son had some medical issues I was exreemly happy so he could get the servises he needs and needed. My doctor said he was sorry and NOW finally sees what I am seeing. He goes to numerous doctors,OT,phisical therapy(starting soon)psychology.
His school has been wonderful. They have an aide in his classroom just for him and it is helping him so much. He just recently had a neuropsych evaluation done and I am hoping this will help him out in school and anywhere else that is needed.
I also noticed my son khi had tics, and screams out in at the oddest times and sometimes growl. I get the weirdest looks from his doctors and when The doctor that did the psych eval on him noticed this I was so happy!(not that he growls,screams, and laughs at the oddest times but glad someone else noticed it besides me!)I will soon be able to make an appointment for this also!
Most of this is the reason I have come to Microgiving. I dont usually ask for help but for this one thing for my son I will.
My Purpose
My purpose for coming here is to meet new people because I dont get out much and to ask for help for my son. Its very hard to get something that is truely needed but you just dont have the funds to do it. When 100% of the income goes to food and bills you almost feel helpless when something is needed.

Needed Jogging stroller for my special needs son
Description: My 5 year old son Has SPD(sensory processing disorder). It is getting harder and harder to carry him and it breaks my heart when he cries that his legs and feet hurt. Due to his sensory on of his major issues with it is he doesnt like to touch the ground.
He previously had a jogger that I just freecycled out because the weight capacity was 45 pounds and he was so squished he would also cry his arms were hurting him.
My son has many other issues that keep us at different doctors through the week. He has social,behavioral and mental heath issues. He was recently diagnosed with tourettes(an appoint this coming next week) with a doctor to discuss this with me.
My family would appreciate this so much. We would forever be greatful.
