A Soldiers’ Call to the American People!

I do not have a paypal business I no longer longer perform in Operas or plays !!!! As far back as I can remember my dream was to join the military. Was surrounded by a family of veteran & active service members who service was with valor and destination. When my turn came I joined with excitement and pride never looking back. Wearing my uniform and protecting my country there was no greater honor. A family tradition unbroken going back to before the war for our Independence.

My life changed in a instant one cold early February morning. The day was damp and full with fog so thick before I had time to react it was upon me. I saw stars a sharp pain in my head and right shoulder the blackness the endless since of falling. Stumbling back then find ground with a crash of deafening pain shooting from my neck down my back. Gasping for air battered, broken and bloody in a sea of pain.

In that nightmare I came out alive but not without injury. My my neck, back, right shoulder, abdomen, both hands & knees and right hip was seriously injured. I live with constant pain and with extremely limited mobility. I have had more surgeries than I can count. I don't sleep very well due to the pain. I require a lot of help doing things most people take for granted like bathing, cooking, walking a few steps. I also suffer from PTSD, MST, OSA, Nightmares, Flashbacks, insomnia, Major depression, Anxiety and struggle with thoughts of suicide being confined to a twin bed in my living room. You help can change my life & help gain some of my independence and mobility again!
The cost of freedom is paid in soldier's blood and Veteran's lives!

Thank you so much for your prayers and support!!
