Tess,

I hear you and there are many in the same situation unfortunately.

Disability, is a big reason people find themselves unable to work. I am

determined however to find a way. I have been thinking of home business

opportunities, constantly thinking of a way to change the situation. Not sure

what degree or training would change the situation but its worth a try.

My mom used to get that amount and my 83 yo grand gets that to live on. She

worked up until she was 78, the working poor. I would send money home when I

got paid to mom and grandmom and as the RA disease progressed I sent less and

less but still tried to send something if they asked me to or I knew they were

running out, the grand is the only one living now. There has to be a better

way.

As for fun, I always wanted to join Toastmasters to learn public speaking. I

have been told I have good speaking voice. I used to anyway. I also want to

volunteer with Red Cross. My other half has been against it in the past and now

the pain stops it, but I haven't given up the dream and will find a way soon.

Where there's a will there's a way, as the saying goes..

I know you need to feel useful but you have adopted and cared for special

needs children all while suffering a painful condition yourself and on very

little income. That is a huge contribution to society and we thank you for

that.

Many blessings.

Ebony

love and peace,

Ebony
