I have Multiple Sclerosis. I am a woman with disabilities, a power chair user, a creative, and a problem solver.

I share my journey, the problems I've faced, and solutions I've found, in the hopes of helping others.

To survivors out there… I believe you.

To survivors in my life … I believe you.

If a survivor confides in you, believe them….. when someone trust you enough to tell you what happened, believe them.

Your belief in them can change everything, be the support system they need. Please.

Disability-related programs impacted by federal funding include Medicaid, SSDI, and Meals on Wheels.

Cutting funding means many disabled people will not be able to receive the things they need to survive.
