I am a 55 yr old Gramma, I have adopted my 15 yr old Granddaughter. I have a few health conditions, I cannot work. But the state won't help. life is frustrating right now. Just want to chat with people who understand what it is like to be disabled but it doesn't look like I am.

        @MystRei 💜 their hugs, smiles, and laughter make it quite a bit easier!

      I have custody of my 11 yr old granddaughter. I've had her since she was almost 3. It's hard to take care of her and day to day tasks. Been denied disability 4 times. I know what it's like to have several diseases that make it impossible to work, but to outsiders, you look fine and capable. We all need to be here for each other and support each other as much as possible. Hugs to you.
