Please forgive us for writing this letter as we feel that our father has always provided for us well; while we were in college obtaining our many degrees, BS, AAS,CRA, Ma.

My sister and I unfortunately became disabled at the young age of 25. Catherine with Gillian Barrett Syndrome, Myelopathy, and Fibromyalgia due to vaccines while studying at Bellevue Hospital School of Radiology. Audrey was put on medication for Endometriosis and suffered a stroke 4 days later. She lost Consciousness and fell herniating her entire vertebrae. This caused Fibromyalgia and Myofacial disorder along with various Infarctuses in several regions of her brain. To date, we have both had over 30 Ambulatory Surgeries, 1000 injections, 4 real surgeries and now Audrey may need surgery to implant a lower lumbar Neuropathic Pacemaker. She is completely bed-bound, cannot walk to shower, use the bathroom, or stand in an erect position 90 percent of the time. Due to the disabilities occurring at the age of 25, right after college, NYS law does not care that you were persuing an education. If you did not contribute enough in taxes your disability funds are based on those amounts. During school we worked part-time, so we were entitled each to four hundred dollars a months and still are. We have to sit and wait on food lines since it is difficult to stand and it is more than humiliating. They do not considered disabled people to be entitled to toilet paper, clothes, soap, or any paper goods. No one asks for a life like this, yet this is what god has given us. It is a battle everyday just to make it through a day.

With proud parents who did not take the proper provisions for themselves or us; not realizing the severity of their children's continual deteriorating conditions; we have been left destitute with no recourses. Irrespective, we continue to struggle and are unable to change the situation. We know we have no right to ask this of our fathers' family but we have no where else to go. Having exhausted all of our own financial resources on medical fees, medication, and living expenses, several times, we are asking for your help, generosity and kindness. In addition, our only one miracle is Brianna, she is 4 years old and does not deserve a life on welfare. Our lives were ripped away from us at young ages, but she should not be brought up in poverty. Being that we are a family of intellectuals that were successful, she should not pay the price for our lives being stolen from us. We could never provide the way we could have given our education and degrees.

Please open your hearts and pray for our family and we would appreciate any help possible. Thank you for any help you may choose to provide. All our love and well wishes, Catherine & Audrey
