MY NAME IS STEPHANIE SOTO I AM A 21 YEAR OLD YOUNG LADY AND MY SISTER IS 16 YEARS OLD (GENESIS SUAREZ) SHE IS IN HIGH SCHOOL IN HER SOPHMORE YEAR. I USE TO WORK IN A PROGRAM WITH DISABLE CHILDRENS THE PROGRAM IS CALL, THE DISCOVERY CENTER. IN SULLIVAN COUNTY, NY. I HAD TO LEAVE THIS JOB BECAUSE I AM HAVING MEDICAL PROBLEMS. AND I ALSO NEED TO HELP MY PARENTS AT THIS TIME.I AM LOOKING FOR SOME IDEA IN HOW COULD MY SISTER AND I COULD HELP OUR PARENTS WITH THE CHANGES THEY ARE GOING THRU IN LIFE AT THESE POINT IN THERE LIFE .MY FATHER( DELVIS SUAREZ) IS A RETIRED EMS OF THE 911 SYSTEM OF NEW YORK CITY.HE WORKED FOR THE 911 SYSTEM FOR 25 YEARS AND WAS ONE OF THE FIRST AMBULANCE TO GET TO THE TWIN TOWER BACK IN 9/11/2000, HE WAS ABLE TO HELP A LOT OF INJURE PEOPLE AND ALSO LOST A LOT OF LIFE IN HIS HANDS. MY FATHER LOST HIS SIGHT IN ONE EYE, ALSO HAD 2 SURGERYS IN HIS ARM AND 1 IN THE KNEE.MY FATHER'S LIFE COMPLETELY CHANGE BECAUSE HE IS NOT ABLE TO WORK ANY LONGER IN HIS CARRER AS A EMT OR DO THE THINGS HE USE TO DO AROUND THE HOUSE BEFORE HE GOT INJURED ON 911. MY MOTHER (JACQUELINE SUAREZ) IS MY INSPIRATION SHE IS 40 YEARS OLD WOMEN.SHE WORKED WITH SPECIAL EDUCATION CHILDREN FOR 20 YEARS IN New York City PUBLIC SCHOOL. SHE HAD TO LEAVE HER JOB BECAUSE SHE COULD NOT LIFT, PULL, PUSH, SEAT FOR LONG PERIOD OF TIME OR STAND FOR LONG PERIODS.SHE WAS INJURY BY ONE OF HER STUDENT WITCH RESULT IN 2 BROKEN RIBS, 3 PINCH NERVES AND 2 HERNIATED DISC.SHE IS ALWAYS IN PAIN BUT DOES NOT SHOW ANYONE IN OUR HOME, BECAUSE SHE DON’T WANT US TO GET WORRY ABOUT HER . FOUR YEARS AGO SHE WAS ALSO DIAGNOSE WITH A PITUITARY GRAND TUMOR WITCH NOW SHE IS ALWAYS WITH PAIN IN HER HEAD ALSO AND WILL HAVE TO DRINK MEDICATION FOR THE REST OF HER LIFE TO KEEP THE TUMOR IN CONTROL. SHE HAD DONE A PROMISE TO GOD THAT IF MY DAD AND HER SELF WERE ABLE TO GET A LITTLE BETTER THEY WILL OPEN THERE HOUSE AND OUR FAMILY TO A CHILD WITH OUT A HOME OR FAMILY. THEY DID NOT OPEN IT TO 1 BUT TO 3 CHILDRENS, WHO ARE VERY SICK AND MENTALLY DISABLE. THEY TAKE CARE OF THESE CHILDREN 24 HOURS A DAY / 7 DAYS A WEEK. THEY MAKE SURE TO GIVE THEM THERE MEDICATION ON TIME.THEY TAKE THIS CHILDRENS TO ALL THERE DOCTORS APPOINTMENT. THIS CHILDRENS SEE DOCTORS 2 TO 5 TIMES PER WEEK. THEY WILL BE ADOPTING THEM IN THE MONTH OF FEBRUARY 2012.
WE ARE WORRY BECAUSE ARE HOME IS OLD IS LIKE 30 YEARS OLD, OUR HOME HAS 4 BEDROOMS,2 BATHROOM,KITCHEN AND LIVINGROOM CONVINE,AND A FAMILY ROOM. THE BATHROOM UP STAIRS IS DAMAGE THE FLOOR IS ROTTEN SO WHEN WE TAKE A BATH UPSTAIRS THE WATER FALLS IN THE BEDROOM DOWN STAIRS. THE BATHROOM DOWN STAIRS IS A STANDING SHOWER AND A LOT OF THE WATER FALLS TO THE OUTSIDE AND THE FLOOR AND WALLS ARE ROTTEN. THE STRUCTURE OF THE FOUNDATION IS ALL AROUND THE HOUSE IS CRACKED. THE WOOD IN THE UPSTAIRS IS ROTTEN SO IT HAS TO BE REPLASE. WE HAVE TO USE THE FAMILY ROOM AS THE THERAPY ROOM/ OT ROOM/ THE RESPITE ROOM FOR THE SERVICES THAT THE LITTLE ONES GET. WE HAVE THE 3 LITTLE ONES SLEEPNG IN THE SAME LITTLE ROOM. MY DAD HAD A LOT OF PLANS IN EXPANDING THE HOUSE AND REMODERDING THE HOME, BUT HE IS NOT ABLE ANY LONGER.
MY SISTER AND MY SELF ARE VERY PROUD OF OUR PARENTS.THEY ARE VERY GOOD PARENTS, FRIENDS AND NEIGBOORS. THEY ARE ALWAYS DOING FOR OTHERS. MY SISTER AND I THINK THAT THEY DESERVE FOR US TO DO SOMETHING FOR THEM NOW OR FIND A WAY TO HELP THEM NOW THAT THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO LIVE THE WAY THEY USE TOO, WHEN THEY WERE HEALTHY AND HAD THERE JOBS IN THERE CAREERS.WE NEED TO FIND A WAY FOR US TO GIVE THEM SOMETHING IN RETURN FOR THE WONDERFUL LIFE THEY GAVE US WHEN WE WERE VERY YOUNG AND ARE STILL TRYING THERE BEST TO GIVE ALL OF US. WE ARE ASKING FOR THE PUBLIC IN THIS WORLD TO HELP US FIND A WAY TO GIVE OUR PARENTS SOMETHING BACK IN RETURN.
