Hello! My name is Linda Smith. My photo is my fiance, Michael, who passed away 4-30-2010, after being bedridden, on life support and paralyzed since 2007. Doctors changed our lives forever in 2007.

I know the battles, I know the war that the disabled and their loved ones fight, including loved ones who are the caregivers. I took care of Michael at home for over 2 years, until his death.

There are those make derogatory remarks about those that are disabled, even after their death, including HP members. But I truly believe in Karma, I have seen it backfire and those who rididiculed, made snide remarks etc about Michael, and others like him, eventually pay the price.

There are multiple obstacles which have been created by society. One is that many disabled cannot afford a vacation, nor can they find hotels which will accomodate them appropriately.

Other issues include many of the supplies, equipment and adaptive products which allow them to carry on daily activities, such as eating without spilling food and drink on themeselves is often an out of pocket expense because insurance companies will not pay for what they truly need. There are those who cannot find affordable items that they need. The life of the disabled and their caregivers is not an easy one.

Our politicians need to hear, and need to do something, worthwhile, for the disabled and chroncially ill, which does not inlcude self inflicted injuries, illness from illegal drug use.

I am a freelance writer, an affiliate marketer, as well as member of a wealth building club which has given me knowledge and the tools I use today to get Michael's story out there. I am a member of Wealth Creations Network, and I do not have to download this e-book, that e-book, or pay one cent out of my pocket.

A lot of changes going on at WCN too! Social Networking as well as going Global. Join us, or just be a guest. Either way is FREE.

I hope to start a nonprofit organization started in Michael's name to benefit others by helping them get appropriate, including high end wheelchairs they are often denied, as well as ramps, for starters.
