By the time dinnertime rolls around, I am
exhausted. Exhausted also knowing I have hours more to go before I can
sleep. People....mental illness is REAL. Mental illness is not
something someone does on purpose. Mental illness affects other around them as well and changes lives just as someone that has a long term medical condition that requires a lot of care.
Children of all ages can experience a MI. Mental Illnesses are
biologically based, meaning that chemicals or structures in the brain
are not working as they are supposed to, resulting in symptoms that
cannot be managed or overcome without treatment, often resulting in
lives that are unstable. When a person is experiencing the symptoms of
MI, relationships with family and peers, school performance and basic
daily activities (sleeping, eating, bathing, dressing) can be difficult.

We have a long road ahead of us on this
journey that we are on. PLEASE consider donating to help with the
costs. We are already on track to meet our large out of pocket expenses
early this year -- not to mention the fact I am her caretaker and not
able to work. ANY amount will help. Please help us help our daughter
get the help she needs! http://www.gofundme.com/5yk6ro
