Suz Strick hasn't added a story.
Three years ago I was a marketing executive for a Fortune 500
company. But I didn't feel good. When my health started to fail, I
could no longer work. I thought I would get better... I didn’t get
better. In fact I got worse and by January 2012 was unable to walk.
After several hospitalizations and surgeries I was diagnosed with an
auto-immune disease of the spine called Ankylosing Spondylitis. It is
more common than MS, Cystic Fibrosis or Lou Gherig’s disease and will
have a lifelong impact on my mobility and overall health. It has no
cure. My spine is fusing into my pelvis and some days walking and
motor movements are difficult. I'm single, never married, and am not
able to live independently on Social Security Disability. I'm not able
to work because of the disease and the powerful medications I must
take to control pain.
After trying very hard, and with much support from an amazing
friend network, I can't make it on my own any longer. This is the
second home I am losing, to no real fault of my own...the City has
gotten too expensive to keep going. But, my sister can take me in
which is a blessing. She lives in Denver. In order to get me to Denver
safely we need money for a small truck, a plane ticket for my sister,
packing materials, gasoline for my handicapped van and ADA hotel rooms
on the 20 hour drive. Please help me get into a safe house where I
can focus on my mental and physical health and get my sparkle back.
Suz has a private page on Facebook called Support Suz, can take
paypal through suzcanoes@yahoo.com and could
really use some kindness during a hard time.
