In June 2020, my life changed drastically. I went from functioning normally to being paralyzed from the waist down and having little to no use of my hands. I was living in Florida at the time where I was unable to receive the intense medical interventions that I required. And so began my terrifying journey into the world of being disabled with no real answers as to why my body stopped working and what could be done. It was then that Heidi entered my life as well as my family’s. Heidi helped us navigate through the most unbelievably difficult of times from advocating for my medical needs to assisting in my transport to MA to obtain necessary services to navigating healthcare and insurance and so much more. It is without a doubt that I can say that I would not be where I am today – walking and beginning to live independently – without Heidi. It wasn’t only in the “heat of the moment” that Heidi was so instrumental in helping my recovery. It was been on-going and includes technical/medical support as well as emotional support. The description I have provided does not do Heidi justice and is a huge understatement. It is without exaggeration that I can say that Heidi saved my life through her never-ending support, encouragement, and advocacy.
