Why I ask for help.

Update posted by Heather Brown

I am disabled. I have fibromyalgia, sciatica, one leg longer than the other, migraines, insomnia, and depression. I used to have built up shoes to help with some of the pain. My shoes were destroyed a few years ago and I haven't been able to afford to replace them. I had a teenage son, he passed away a few months ago ( at the age of 21). As a single mother of a teenage boy, I had a hard time trying to save up money for a regular pair of shoes, there was no way I could afford to have them built up. So I have been walking around without them. The muscles in my legs are constantly aching, I walk on my toes without meaning to, which causes a great deal of pain in my toes and feet. My hips are way out of alignment, as is my spine. I truly fear my spine will permanently lean to the right unless I can get these shoes again.

I had been quietly trying to save money, but recent tragedies have me deeply in debt.

I am trying to be able to be more active, relieve some pain, be able to get out of the house when grief and depression are just too much, and if the shoes help as much as I think they will, I would like to get a job.

I can't find any other way to raise money for the shoes.

Please help and/or share.
