Hello everyone!

In our journey with chronic illness, every small step forward is worth celebrating, no matter how tiny! Whether it’s good medical news, a pain-free day, or simply a moment where you felt a bit better, each victory matters.

Recently one of my daughters and I have been really connecting. It's been a long while for us to get in this deeply connection. Things that she wants to know about our family, on my side, and things that she just wanted to ask me if I knew. I love that we are finally able to open up and talk. About everything. I have always told my girls to talk to me about any and everything. For this one in particular, it's taken her to be 23 years old. But better late than never. I am just so glad it's finally happening for us. Thank you my love for all that you do and have still yet to do. This Mom is so very proud of all 4 of my daughters.

Hi @Breathmaster, thank you so much for sharing.

It might not feel like a lot, but it truly takes a lot of strength to face another day, especially when the going gets tough. You’re not alone in this, and even though it all seems so bleak right now, things will get better, so please keep going. We're all here to support you along the way.

Take care,Β

my latest victory was exposing a scammer that scammed one of my members from my group into sending him 500 for a poodle that he never had, he stole pictures from breeders, made a post , going into the chronic and disabled groups on Facebook and the lady reached out to me, I then sent him a message that i was needing a puppy to see how he worked, i can smell a scammer even thru text, I have been doing this for 30 years, he even gave me his so called driver's license, to make a long story short, I am very good at what i do and found out where he was, all his relatives phone numbers, addresses, his work address etc. I them called his parent s up and explained what happened and if they didn't send me the 500 thru Zelle in 30 minutes, police will be knocking at their doors! they sent it in 10 minutes, i called that lady she was in tears, could not blv i got her money back, she was very lonely, just lost her husband and had no children, this makes my blood boil. i mentioned that i also do animal rescue and was able to find her a small dog, I have 5 more scammers on my hook as we speak looking for another disabled person,

@Magdamaria2 Wow, that is simply incredible, thank you so much for sharing! It’s just so heartbreaking and infuriating to hear that scammers prey on vulnerable groups like this, but it’s amazing to see someone like you step up and take action. Not only did you get the money back, but also found that woman a dog. This speaks volumes about your kindheartedness. You’re doing such important work, and I’m sure many people are grateful for your efforts, even if they don’t know about them yet. Thanks to people like you, at least some justice is served. How do you stay motivated in such a frustrating space?Β 

Keep up the incredible work, we're all with you! πŸ’ͺ
