I was diagnosed with Stage 4 breast cancer in November 2016. Stage 4 is ultimately terminal, but there are treatments available that will hopefully allow me to spend more time with my family. My son is three years old and he needs his mom. I am terrified about how the changes in insurance policy will…

Hi i am a wheelchair user and i find it difficult to get around in the winter time. Especially right now in all the snow and ice. 

I’m joining for myself and all my sick CML sisters that we don’t get our insurance taken away or be unable to switch insurances. I’m joining for all my fellow victims of abuse, whether it be sexual or verbal abuse. I’m joining for my sons, so they understand how strong woman act if you threaten…

I’m including a photo of when President Obama came to the high school where I teach.  He gave his first Back to School address on September 8th, 2009 in Wakefield High School in Arlington, VA.  One of my students was able to capture all the promise and optimism and greatness in this smiling photo.  I…
