Kathy's Story
after high school i did various jobs from canvasing to retail to driving vehicles reqiring a cdl. one was school dept transportation in cranston. lol. i also drove for cranston trans van. eventually in dec 1987 my family and i moved to naples, fla. in 2003 i lost my father to liver cancer in september. i stepped into 24/7 care giver to my mother who had lung and brain cancer while still working 60-70 hours per week. at this time i had been working as a truck driver for an asphalt company. loved my job. my mother passed in july of 2005 and by december 28, 2005 i was diagnosed as well with cancer. i'm clear of cancer since jan 2006. i've had a few health issues during these years. in 2007 i was diagnosed with MS. i've been struggling with the symptoms for a long time now. i even lost my job driving a truck because of the MS diagnoses.
in december 2000, i got married to a guy that i thought had his life together. after two and a half years we separated.. i filed for divorce in summer of 2005 and...Expand for more
it became final in nov 05. unfortunately my mother who was my biggest supporter for my divorce never got to see it final.
after loosing my job and my mother i went into serious hardship. i know first hand what it's like to be cast out. the house i lived in for over 20 years my brother kicked ( locked) me out of and i ended up on the street for about 7 years. during this i would go without food for 3 weeks at a time.
finally in oct 2015 i was in an apartment in athens,tn. 30 days after i moved in, a tornado made a visit. it missed by one building i was seriously injured. i got a skull and facial bones fracture. the hospital wanted to life flight me into chattanooga, tn to the trauma unit. frankly, i'm lucky to be alive. if anyone wants to know more about this you can check it out on the web and utube as well as the weather channel. athens, tn tornado nov 30, 2016.
