Acceptance to The Shepherd Center
hey guys! Big Announcement!!! It’s been two months since my last update, I continue to make progress and I have one huge announcement! It’s the reason I’m making this update pretty much! I got a scholarship to go to the Shepherd Center in Atlanta for physical therapy! This was one of our goals from the very beginning and with the help of my friend Bridget Leroy it’s going to come true. If you missed it or you don’t remember the Shephard Center is the foremost facility in spinal cord injury recovery. We were aiming to go there after my stay at Mount Sinai but the out-of-pocket costs were outstanding. It was a goal but at the time it was completely unattainable. Now, I have somehow gotten a scholarship to go to it The scholarship is for 2 to 4 weeks where I will be given physical therapy and occupational therapy;I will also learn the tricks and trades to Quadriplegic living. there are so many little nuances to this type of injury, I’ve learned quite a bit from other people in a similar predicament I can’t imagine what the Shephard Center will do for me. I will live on campus, I have to bring (Hire in Atlanta ) my own caregiver and buy my own food. I also have to get there, which is pretty important. I’ve done a little bit of digging on what airlines to fly and it turns out American Airlines or JetBlue are pretty good. It will be a little nerve-racking leaving my power chair and putting it into the hands of the baggage handlers but it’s something I’m going to have to do. I mean it’s that or the 16 Hour Dr. down to Georgia. I thought peeing in a bottle while driving stick shift in traffic on my way down to Florida was hard, I don’t want to find out what the drive in this situation will be like. Well, I guess the whole road trip- full bladder - dilemma Is sorted out pretty easily with the catheter. Either way I’m definitely going to fly.

But, I digress! Some of bullet points of what I will be experiencing down in Georgia Will be assistive technology for interfacing in my environment, being evaluated for a manual wheelchair with power (this will make travel easier) and Bed mobility. I’m stopping at bed mobility for a moment to explain how difficult it is being stuck in the bed all night. I can’t move positions so I literally just lay in the exact same spot that somebody put me in the night before all the way until the morning. Learning how to move positions and eventually transfer from the bed into the chair on my own would be a massive life improvement. I will be able to get a driving assessment which will help in eventually getting a vehicle in which I can drive on my own. And lastly, the “ADLs” improving and learning ways to participate in the activities of daily living ( that’s the acronym right there if you didn’t catch it, activities of daily living ADL for short, like- life stuff. You get it. I’ll stop now) This injury has really opened me up to the sunny side of human nature, I’ve witnessed so many people being kind and generous to me. I have eternal gratitude and it’s appropriate because yesterday was Thanksgiving! Getting the scholarship to the Shephard Center is one of the biggest gifts I’ve been given so far. The stars really aligned with this one. I’m not sure how many more updates I’ll have on here. Definitely some on Atlanta and if I have any big adventures planned.

Reviews and comments can be helpful most times. permit me to share that, in the first week of March 2024, I was convinced to invest in a fake Altcoin cryptocurrency platform through someone I connected with on Telegram , which I did but unfortunately after investing my money I discovered I could not withdraw or access my account on the fake platform. Lucky for me, I came across a review on funds recovery and I contacted Coinsrecoveryworldwide Service, and through their help and support I was able to recover my money. Losing money trading crypto can be frustrating but I am happy today that my funds are recovered and I wish to share with you their contacts as i know i am not alone on this boat, nobody deserves to be in such situation.

To whom it may concern,
I made an initial investment of roughly $380,000 on a binary option platform. After several transactions, I chose to withdraw my money because according to the website I had made a lot of profits, however the withdrawal was unsuccessful. I made several attempts in contacting them but it all failed. I made every effort and filed a report to recover my money by contacting the police department in charge of investigating fraudulent situations, but nothing was successful. Since my attempt with the police failed, I tried other possible means to make sure I recover my stolen crypto coin. I reached out to a hacker whose reviews I had read online; GLOBAL ACCESS RECOVERY, I contacted them through their email on: kbhacktools(AT)outlook(DOC)com and they came in handy at the right time. They rescued me from these shady investment schemes with the help of their top-notch hacking technique. I got my funds back as well as my peace of mind. If you need a reliable tech expert to help you recover all the money lost to internet scams, then I will advise you contact GLOBAL ACCESS RECOVERY with their details below;

The Covid-19 pandemic struck the world and became a disaster for my family as I saw my finances crumbling and my merchandise folded. After the mind boggling choice for loans online and getting rejected for a small business loan by my bank and mortgage provider, I reached out to a friend and explained my frustration then she hinted me about Trust Advance Credit. I contacted them expecting the worst and more rejection as usual but surprisingly I was proved wrong with their exceptional customer service that was beyond professionalism. They omitted my low credit score and not only helped me secure a loan but gave me some incredibly useful tips to help keep my credit file in tip top shape in the future. My loan application was immediately accepted in principle and fully approved within 2 working days and I was able to revive my merchandise that had folded due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
I would like to personally thank Kev and Trust Advance Credit for their first class service and much needed help and advice. I would recommend Trust Advance Credit to anyone, you won’t be disappointed. Reach out to them via Email trustadvancecredit@gmail.com or WhatsApp at +15595931640
