My sister, Cannie.
Cannie was injured by an uninsured driver about 9yrs ago and suffered a closed-head injury. She has been unable to work due to this accident and has gone through numerous doctor visits & therapies to help her live a more normal life. Her head injury has caused her to have a severe sensitivity to her environment, including sensitivities to light, sounds, smells, drastic temperatures and most medications. When exposed to high levels of these enviromental factors, she suffers from non-pseudo-non-epileptic seizures.
This makes the simpliest tasks very difficult for her to complete.
Cannie has attempted to re-join the workforce in several ways, but her sensitivities have prevented her to be able to do so. She currently is writting and has published one novel, "Found in the Scottish Highlands". Cannie is hoping to be able to write 4 additional sequels to this novel, along with publishing 3 poetry books. It is her hope that some day she will again be able to support herself through her books.
Due to her being unable to re-join the workforce, she is unable to have any sort of income. Cannie is in the process of applying for SSI, but it is unfortunately a long process and may take a few more months to determine is she is even eligible for it. Even with SSI, she still may not have enough each month to make her house payment. At this point, she could loose her home. Loosing her home could be a devastating set-back, not only emotional, but also in how she will function day-to-day. Because of her noise sensitivites, Cannie is unable to listen to radios or even watch a lot of tv, as these bring on horrible migraines & eventually seizures. If she were to leave her home and live in a facility for disabled people, she would be at the mercy of others & their sounds. This would make life very difficult for her and most likely cause her to have unbearable migraines & constant seizures.
Please consider making a small donation towards helping her keep her home. She needs $55,000 to fully pay off her mortgage.
