Hello everyone, my name is Heather. I am forty years old. I was born on January 22 1981. I have two half-brothers and one half-sister. We all have the same mom but different Dad. I am the middle child out of all of my siblings. Both of my parents are deceased, including my stepfather. I am like the black sheep of my family, so therefore my brothers and sister have nothing to do with me.  They quit having anything to do with me when my mother passed away.  They have  lived a lifestyle of drugs and things of that nature that I never agreed with. However, I do not judge people in any way; I have personally chosen not to live that lifestyle.

I was born with cerebral palsy.  There are several different types of cerebral palsy.  I am wheelchair-bound due to my cerebral palsy. However, I do not let it stop me from living my life to the fullest. I can do anything that I put my mind to, just like anyone else. I may have to do things a little differently than others. I graduated from high school in 2001 from J.L Mann academy 2001. I graduated with a 4.0-grade point average with a regular high school diploma.  I am currently a senior in college at the University of Phoenix getting. My bachelor's degree in criminal justice. I currently have a 3.9-grade point average and have made the dean's list twice in the past three months. I have seven more classes to go to until graduation. I Cannot Wait.  I am the only one in my family to actually  graduate college.

       When I was twenty-three years old. I got pregnant with my son David who is now sixteen years old. Many people do not know that I have raised him on my own since he was born. This was not something I did on my own by choice.  I did it because I had no other choice. His father choose  to marry another woman eleven days after David was conceived. My mom and most of her family tried to convince me to have an abortion.  I refused. I don't believe in abortion. I just wanted to live my life as a normal person as society looks at it. My family went as far as to get the department of social services involved to get my son taken from me. However, they failed because I beat everything that the department of social services put me through and showed them that using a wheelchair doesn't mean that you cannot be a mother. My son is my whole world.  He is the reason that I wake up every day and keep on pushing myself to keep going and not give up. Many people do not know this. My son is also disabled. He is high-functioning autistic. He has A.D.D. and A.D. H.D. Combined. He has the odd disorder. He has learning disabilities and bipolar disorder. He doesn't receive a disability check. I have tried. They said his I.Q. was too high. Now that he is older, he doesn't want a disability check because he doesn't want to be labeled like the rest of the disabled community l personally do not blame him. The majority of society is cruel to disabled people, or they take advantage of us. I have home-schooled him his all life, and I would not have it any other way.

     I do not like handouts from people. And being on disability is not enough to pay all my bills and save for a down payment on a wheelchair-equipped house. As anyone on a fixed income should understand this. I have never really been good at sales advertising or marketing. I am very shy laid back, and have always aimed to please others. I have never really worried about making myself happy as long as everyone in my life was happy. That is all that has ever mattered to me. Many people don't know this about me, but I suffer from manic depression, which I am almost certain has to do a lot with. my childhood.  I do not want to go into detail.  Let's just put it this way.  I never knew whether I would eat every day have power or  water or if my mom  was going to be in jail. This really affects you as a kid. Some people think that it  don't, but it dose . Some people can handle it better than others. I keep everything to myself until I can't take it anymore, and then I break down into tears and don't want to try anymore. And yes, before anyone says anything I've been on several medications, but nothing helps.  Except talking to my best friend, who I will not name in this post, but she knows who she is, and that is all that matters. She has been there for me know matter what.  Know matter what she had to do, and I will always be there for her I love her and can't think her enough. She talks to me every day to make sure I'm OK. She never takes advantage of me or tries to take advantage of me, and I miss our conversations a lot here lately, and I want her to know that I will never forget her or anything that she is done for me. Well, I said all of that. To say this, my life started to fall apart slowly in 2015 When I was evicted from my mobile home Where I could be independent and do everything myself.  I  did not need Roommates.  because I went into a manic state of depression after my mother died in 2013. I  got behind on bills, she  was helping me paying bills and when she died. I had to do everything myself. It wasn't enough to make it all  on my disability, so I got behind. I ended up losing the home where I could be independent and move to a smaller place where I can no longer be independent. However, I am not complaining; I am very grateful not to be homeless. But when you are disabled and can't get around without help in your used to doing everything yourself, and then you have to depend on others, it becomes very depressing. I lost my step father in 2019 to Cancer. I lost  my grandmother about two months ago to kidney failure. I have just not been the same since I don't know if I  ever will be. They say time heals all wounds, but I am not so sure about that.

     Fast forward 2 February of 2019. I decided to join paparazzi accessories which are $5 fashion jewelry.  Everything is lead and  nickel free it will not break you out or turn your skin green. I ship all over the United States shipping starts at  4.50 plus tax. Your first order with me ships for free.  I invoice through  square. I am trying to build my customer base I need or would like at least 60 people to buy ten pieces a month a piece. You do not know how much this would help me achieve the down payment of a wheelchair-accessible home.  Thanks to everyone who will read this Please go to the contact page and fill out the contact form if you are interested in getting to know me and maybe purchasing some jewelry becoming friends.
