Please, help me change my life: I need speech therapy. Any donation would be greatly appreciated.
I am a 19-year-old girl just finishing my freshman year of college. Iam creative, enthusiastic, hard-working, determined, both shy andfriendly, insecure, neat, moody, gentle, quiet, sensitive, strong,hopeful, dedicated, devoted, loyal, passionate, and curious, and I havea speech defect.
My whole life I have been unable to pronouncethe /r/ sound correctly. For most of my childhood, it hasn't been anissue, but throughout high school and college it has become asignificant handicap. It has reached the point where I am oftenseverely depressed as a result of my speech defect--it is like a bubblesurrounding me and isolating me from other people. Perhaps this seemsmelodramatic, but unless you have had something like this--any kind ofphysical defect that makes people uncomfortable--you can't know howpainful and discouraging it is. I would certainly say that mydisability has taken a huge toll on my mental and emotional health andmy social life. I am worried I won't be able to get a good job to payoff my student loan debt, because employers will be put off by myspeech impairment. Every single day, I have to at least once withpeople ignoring me when I talk, not understanding what I say, ordrawing back from me in disgust, like I smell bad.
Sadly, healthinsurance will not cover speech therapy for me, even though I need itso bad--so as a last result, I am turning to the kindness of strangers.I am going to try to raise $1,000, which is how much I need to have a45-minute speech therapy session every week this summer (it is $85 persession). It's a lot of money, I know, and there isn't any way foranyone to know if I am telling the truth, or if any of this islegitimate...I am just going to hope that some people out there havefaith and trust me and can reach out and donate anything, any amount.All I need is for $100 people to donate $10 each!
I cannotexpress how much it would mean to me. My family doesn't have muchmoney, and I need help very badly. Please consider donating to help mepay for speech therapy.
