Personal experience

I am a rare cancer survivor as well as an amputee. It has been quite a journey for me - physically, emotionally and spiritually. I was not able to work for several years due to being in the hospital , recovering from illness or surgery. But this experience has made me stronger , more faith filled and I share my story to help others. It has taught me to persevere and to shine a light on others and inspire all I meet to never give up.
