I am 38 years old and still haven't lived life. I was born with a rare handicap called Dandy-Walker syndrome and my entire life has been nothing but ridicule,embarrassments, and a severe lack of success. I never had things in my life that normal people have accumulater by now. I never had a new vehicle,a house,a trip on my own, or a big savings account. In
my life I only had one full-time job due to my hanicap, so I never can save money.I have family in both Alaska and Vegas who I either have seen only once or twice or have never met.For the last thrr years I have been writing to philanthropists in hopes of getting a life,but no responses. I figured that if no one is going to help, I'll try something myself. I have a pretty good idea for an invention, but Invent-help needs around a thousand dollars to re-search the idea. Since there have been no re-sponses to my letters, this might be my last chance to start living and enjoying life. I come from a big family and they are all successful and I'm tired of feeling like the black sheep of the family. They all have helped me so much in life, whether it be food,clothes, or help with my bills,it is very overwelming and embarras-sing at the same time. My life should not,at my age, be this pathetic anymore. I kwow I could never repay for all tat I've received, but I would love to finally start trying and not relying on others to get me out of jams. There have been many times I just thought about suicide in my life, but that's just a coward's way out, I still have a little hope. I do live a somewhat normal life. I live on my own and
I drive,but my few paydays a year is really limiting my life. I am really hoping that some-one out there will help me attain a life. Please, Please help!!
