To all the stressed and lonly feeling moms. At times you may feel tired you may feel like you had enouph. You feel like you cant do any more you just want to give up. Well it is perfectly normal to feel that way. I am a mom of a special needs child. I have been careing for her for many years. I like to think of myself as kinda a pro at this special needs careing thing. My daughter was born with a C5 spinal cord injury, she is now 20 years old and the most wonderfull person I know. I too have felt all the things you moms have spoke of. I have experianced many of the hart breaks you have wrote about. I have learned that staying strong will pay off in the end. As I stated my daughter is 20 years old her life has been hard to say the least. She has had to over come hurtles that most people will never have to even know about. I was 17 when I had my daughter my husband was 21. We where both young and definatly not ready to have a child, never mind a special needs child. When she was about 8 months old Doctors diagonsed her with Cerebralpalsy. At about 8 years old after countless surgerys we discovered she did not have CP. She had what Doctors would tell me is rare, she has a Conjenital spinal cord injury. My daughter is unable to walk she is unable to sit by her self. She needs assistance in most of her daily activitys including toileting and bathing. She has full feeling in all her extrematies and is able to controll her bowels as well as her bladder. She is a C5 incomplete that means she is not paralized. I have always taken care of all her needs by my self with no out side help. I have been told that I have been her best advocate and that makes me feel proud. Just last week she graduated from collage with a degree in Graphic Art & Desighn. My daughter has grown to be the young woman that I had hoped she would. She is well rounded loves animals and is a verry friendly person. Every one who meets her loves her. I dont want to bore any one with my story. I just would like you to know that you are not alone. There are others who every day live the same lives as you. Just stay strong! go with what you feel. Most importantly be there for your child it will pay off. ↓

to my failing health I am taking this step to let you know that I want to leave in your care the sum of $6.5Million United States Dollars for a charitable organisation or an in care of an individual to propagate the good work of God, which i deposited in finance/Security Company . I will like you to help me collect this deposit and dispatche it to charity organizations in your country, for the good work of God.

I have had course to make donations to organisations here through my relatives and friends before now who abscunded with the funds and used for thier own selfish interest because nobody to help me follow them up.I will be leaving this mantle in the care of my lawyer who you will work with.I know this mail will definetely come to you suprisely but i want you to remember that:God Tests His Subjects in many different ways. This He Says in the Bible; knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth the-same shall he receive of the Lord (Eph.6:8) . And you can not help another without helping yourself.

1God won't ask about your social status, but will ask what kind of
class you displayed.
2.God won't ask how many material possessions you had, but will ask
if they dictated your life.
3.God won't ask how many promotions you received, but will ask how
you promoted others.
4.God won't ask what you did to protect your rights, but will ask
what you did to protect the rights of others.

Hoping to hear from you soon,to enable me give you the contact of my lawyer, so that he will give you more setails how you will contact the security company in oversea, to enable them release the money for the work of Almighty God. account your interest to help me to propagate the work of God.If you are interested or not,one thing i beg of you is please include me in your prayers.All praise is due to God Who brought everything into existence and May the peace and blessing of God be upon our noble our Lord Jesue Christ.peace be upon him) and His virtuous adorers till the day of Judgments.What else should i say other that we should meet God with a clean mind and clear conscience.May God bless you as you respond to my plea.

Mr David Martins.

You can not begin to know how this makes me feel, to know I can help another with just a short life story. My hart is full of despiration! not for me and my daughter, but for all you others who feel lost and alone. I know! now I have found my way, I am no longer lost. You will one day find your's too! when you do, you will look at your child in aw for all he/she has taught you. Then you will realize you have been the disabled one, not them! So I say again, please trust me stay strong it will pay off in the end. ↑
