I had walking pneumonia and seizures that caused me to be at the hospital where I was in a coma for 1.5 months. When I woke up, I had paralysis from my waist down and could not walk. I had memory loss too.
I was very active and athletic prior to this. I am very motivated to get stronger and independent. This grant would mean a lot to me since I cannot work after my injury. I want to get back on my feet physically and financially.
