MaryAnn's story:

MaryAnn's friend shared MaryAnn's story. She wrote: “MaryAnn was formerly a Methodist Minister, preschool teacher, and deaf education teacher. She is in her 40s and has always been single. Thirteen years ago, she decided to share her life by adopting a baby with special needs. Knowing that the road would always be uphill, MaryAnn nonentheless gave her love, time, and money to a baby daughter who is now in middle school. During this, MaryAnn also took care of her aging mother who had lung cancer. Life for MaryAnn has not been easy, especially for a single person with no one to lean on. As the years passed, MaryAnn's mother died and her daughter has grown. Now, MaryAnn is experiencing her own health issues and needs support. She had a headache for a period of time that progressed into a stroke, and presently, MaryAnn has had to live in an assisted living facility. She has had to give up care of her daughter and learn to care for herself again. The road back from a stroke is one that takes drive and persistence. MaryAnn needs uplifting support to keep a positive attitude so she will have a future.  Her life is going to be different and she needs encouragement to see that there is a different, but good future ahead of her.”
