“When I was first diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis I could no longer see my future. The unprecedented unknown physical state I was in shifted me from an ambitious upwardly mobile corporate climber and entrepreneur, to a prisoner inside my own body in constant unbearable pain. I was dependant on 13 different medications to somehow stabilize symptoms and mental depreciations I had absolutely no control over. Nothing made it better; only worse. As I laid going blind in my bed my only concern was not for my own welfare but that of my 10 year old child, that had only me in the world to ensure her survival.The only thing I believed and knew could help me was God; so I prayed. I asked the Lord, “Father I can accept being paralyzed and living out my days in a wheelchair. But Father I need to be able to see so I may continue to look after my daughter. Please allow me to keep my eyesight so I may somehow, someway provide for her.Soon after my eyesight began to come back. Two years later I regained the ability to walk again with assistance. However what I realized most was that it was not just my body that the Lord had restored, but He had healed my soul. He had shown me that Faith in Him was more tangible than breathing oxygen.I serve with like-minded individuals because I have found without a doubt that giving holds 10 times more satisfaction to ones spirit than receiving. In fact the feeling can’t be numerically quantified.
I was so over whelmed to learn I received this gift from Yearly Angels. It’s so funny that The Founder knew that about me because when she said Yearly Angels was giving me the $1000 gift my first thought was how it could help some folks. Her next statement was I had to use it only on my own bills. No one has ever done anything like this before for me. The shock of it was overwhelming. For a minute there I thought I was going to need to take a Xanax to calm down. I was also thankful and amazed that I had been nominated by two people I love dearly. To know that someone loves you enough to care how you’re going to be able to pay your bills is the type of love we sometimes only receive from our parents. When a glimmer of light shines down on you from surprise places it resuscitates your hope for humanity. Yes, I will take these funds and pay my bills that are past being overdue.
I want to thank Yearly Angels and all the donors who shared their blessings with me. Who broke bread with me so this soldier will continue to live to fight another day? Trust me you will not be without your gift for long, because the Father we serve will restore it and multiply it back to you very soon.”
God Bless Yearly Angels,
