Multiple Disabled Jennifer Seeks Grant For Photography And Jewelry Business
by Jennifer Akkasian-Parker
(Blowing Rock, NC, USA)
The kind of photography I like!
At age 25, I had my wisdom teeth extracted and my life has literally changed for the worse.
The oral surgeon who extracted my wisdom teeth traumatized me mentally and physically and dislocated both discs in my TMJ (temporomandibular joint).
This caused nerve damage, which triggered widespread chronic fibromyalgia, CFS, insomnia, chronic migraines, nausea, ear, neck and facial pain, which led to depression.
I already suffer from ADDHD, PMDD, arthritis, and scoliosis. And I have steel plates and metals screws in my right wrist due to a car accident I survived in on September 6, 2007.
The accident was 100% the fault of the other driver (who had their license taken away.) It was almost a head-on collision totaling my only vehicle I had that was six months from being paid off.
That was the icing on the cake for my life pretty much coming to an end!
I might have not been the best student in school, because of my ADDHD and other medical problems, but I have always been the kind of person that has to always be doing something and working is one of them.
I have always been a hard worker. Even if I did not like my job I would always give and work 110% and took pride in what I did.
Being permanently disabled does not allow me to work and receive a paycheck, which prevents me from having the life style the average normal person would have.
I am not in denial anymore with what is wrong with me and realize I have limits on literally everything I do and actually cannot do!
But I refuse to let this control my life anymore! I have always been interested in photography and handmade jewelry. They are my favorite hobbies.
Being disabled has made me realize what I was put on earth for. I want to be able to make my hobbies of photography and handmade jewelry into a business I can do online.
Since I am permanently disabled, I need to do something I already can do on my own time when I am up to it.
But not being able to work is preventing me to pursue even my hobbies, because I have no money.
So please, please, please someone help me with granting me grants to be able to be able to pursue my hobbies into not just even a goal, but moneymaking ideas.
This would not only help me live and survive, but to also make people happy with photography and handmade jewelry.
I still want to go to school for both, but cannot afford that either. I also need a new digital DSLR camera, too if I want to be able to be a photographer!
And I cannot afford to buy all jewelry findings and tools needed to correctly make handmade jewelry.
I want to take classes on beading with only the best crystals out there... Swarovski crystallized elements with sterling silver findings, antique, glass and Bali beads and findings!
I even want to learn how to cut from the rough... lapidary and set stones in beautiful sterling silver, white gold, gold and platinum!
If people could give me grants to get and do all that I need to do and get to where I want to be in life I would have hope and believe I can be the next Tiffany and the next Ansel Adams!
All the money I saved up has been exhausted trying to start a business online, which is at a halt, so now I can only wish, hope and pray for the grants I need to really be the next Tiffany or Ansel Adams!
To whom it may concern thank you for your time reading this. Sincerely, Jennifer.
