LAKESHA’S STORY:
I am so thankful that Sonya is nominated for such a wonderful box.
I am 38 years old and was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in April of 2014. But that is not my story. My story is more importantly that I am a wife and mother.
Up until 2014, I was also in the full time work force. I loved my job, but my health had taken its toll. I was permanently disabled when the doctor and I saw that my quality of life would not be conducive to working and raising children. I have six and seven year old boys. My husband also has a daughter who is just as much mine as his. So my life is taking care of those babies even when I sometimes can't take care of myself. They are my world, as well as my husband and friends like Sonya. We have built a support system to up build and encourage one another.
