Guest guest Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 That is just awesome Gretchen. If anyone can do this it is you. You really put 100% into research. I wouldn't mind getting help from someone with a disability that understood how I was feeling. Sometimes asking for help is embarrassing.

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 Great News Gretchen. I know you can do this. Good Luck to You and All Your Clients. Debbie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 Gretchen, Wow, that is great! Something I always thought of doing, except more in the health care arena of helping people get around all of the paperwork and learn how to advocate for themselves. Good luck and keep us posted on how this is going. Jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 I'm very happy for you, Gretchen. I had to hire a special attorney before I could receive my SSI benefits. He himself had a disability and could relate to my situation. --Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 CONGRATULATIONS Gretchen!!!!!! At this point in your life this sounds like a " dream job " !! It will widen your knowledge to other reasons why people need SSDI & SSI, and allow you the opportunity to help other people. You have been taught, and learned very well how to help other people with the assistance of your/our spiritual 12 Step Fellowship. You are a very giving, caring, loving, compassionate and worthwhile person! I know this without ever meeting you face-to-face. All of us at owe you our humble gratitude for all you have done for us as the Founder/Moderator. I know this will continue. God does work in mysterious ways and he/she is indeed working in your life. WOW!!!! Congratulations again. kisses & hugs........... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 THAT'S FANTASTIC, Gretchen!! Keys here...(I haven't been in touch for awhile because I went to my daughters' graduation in ville and have been trying to finish moving, it's taking a month to move. My body is in BAD pain and I'm weak lately. More than normal..enough of me!) So that's just right up your alley. And who better to do it?!?! What an honor. I've got goosebumples...that's better than regular goosebumps. I just wrote a 4 page letter to a lady for my disability because when they did the phone conversation, she didn't even really ask what I even had and that pissed me off. So I also included a bunch of your e-mails so she would understand what I'm going through. Hope it works. I just overnighted it to Key West last week. I moved back with Jeff and am very happy now. I finally can sleep at night and feel more secure. Taking 200 milligrams of Oxycontin and 20 of the Cymbalta which I just started last month. That kind of makes me tired. I don't know what to think of it yet. If you need a case to work on, " Please take me! " ......It's the perfect time since they're going through the second time of telling me yes or no. They said it would be 120 days for a decision. Write soon, I've got someone at the door. Love ya!, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
