I was diagnosed with cerebral palsy at the age of 14 months, but in actuality I had it when I was born. My mom and dad knew right away that something was wrong, but the doctors didn’t know at the time that I did have cerebral palsy from birth. When they finally diagnosed me they told my mom that I would never be able to do many things like my siblings could do…like holding my head up or feeding myself. I can do both. They did get some things right though, I was never able to walk.
Due to my medical condition, it is hard for me to transfer in and out of a vehicle, so my main transportation is public transportation. Unfortunately sometimes public transportation is not reliable. I am in a power wheelchair. Setting up doctors appointments can be very difficult to find a ride on public transportation (it is not a guaranteed ride the majority of the time). Most of the time Dial A Ride and public transit can only accommodate two wheelchairs at a time, causing me to miss doctors appointments. It is also very difficult to take groceries on the bus, due to limited space.
My goal for this fundraiser is to be able to purchase a vehicle that is accessible for my power wheelchair. I am working on my A.S. degree in Early Childhood Education and would like to have the independence to reach my goal.

Hello Cuz,
We\'re tired of the cold here in Colorado. Another Blizzard coming through this weekend. Snow is pretty but not when you\'re traveling on the roads in the high country. Glad to see your education is going to new heights. Your drive is spectacular! There are alot of people that are inspired by you. I have a joke for you today.
\"I got a new job last week as the new top dog at Old MacDonald\'s farm.
Yeh, I\'m the new C-I-E-I-O.\"
You take care and stay warm. Positive thoughts for you everyday!

Hello Lindsey, Hope your doing well and staying warm. It's pretty cold here. Colorado has had it's first snow. Didn't see too many Trick or Treaters yesterday. The kids go to the Mall and and events at school these days for those kind of activities. Can't believe we are in to November. Leaves are still on the trees here in G.J. but probably not for long. I wish you the best and hope we can meet your goal soon. I absolutely love what you'll be using the money for. That is really innovative and absolutely needed. Hopefully it will provide you with so many more mobility options. Oh, get ready for it, here are the jokes:
I started a new job as a tailor last week. It's been sew sew.
What do you call a cow with a twitch? Beef jerky.
Hope you enjoyed those. Lots of love...

August Joke: What do you call a fake noodle? An impasta.

June and July Joke
"You know, it was so cold in D.C. the other day, I saw a politician with his hands in his own pockets." Now that was funny....
"How many tickles does it take to get an octopus to laugh? Ten Tickles."
Hope your having a great day. It's 100 degrees plus right now in Colorado. A little too warm for me in the afternoon but the evenings are really nice. Thinking of you often and hope you're enjoying good weather when possible. Take care!

Here's the joke of the month:
"I can never take my dog to the park because the ducks keep trying to bite him. I guess that's what I get for buying a pure bread dog."
We're finally getting some warmer weather here. I've spent a couple of weekends pulling weeds and cleaning up leaves and branches. I took an online class today at work and it appears an old dog can learn new tricks. Hope your having a good day and take care!

March Joke:
"Where should you go in the room when your feeling cold?"
"The corner-they're usually 90 degrees.
Hello Lindsey, yesterday was about 61 degrees in Colorado and it hinted towards a warm Spring. I totally forgot about the time change so I was really out of whack last Sunday. I hear that they may be doing away from the Savings Time in 2023. I guess we'll be getting up in the dark and going to work in the dark for a few months of the year if that happens. Hope the COVID activity has settled down in California. We finally don't have to wear masks at work anymore although I always keep one with me. I look forward to the warmer weather so I can be outside. Hope you're having a good month and as always have good company. Luv ya....

Hello, just wanted to provide the February joke:
Two windmills are standing on a wind farm. One asks, "What's your favorite kind of music? The other replies, "I'm a big metal fan".
Hope your doing well. It is bitter cold today in Colorado but beautiful blue skies. I'm wrapping up my work day and thought of my sweet cousin. Tell everyone hi from me and hope you're having a great week. I think of you often :)
Take Care....

Hello Cuz,
I'm looking out my window seeing snow and fog today in Colorado. Very cold first thing in the morning but after the noon sun comes around the fog gets burned off and blue skies are everywhere. Hope you are staying nice and warm and have good company today 1/7/22.
Here's the joke:
George Clooney, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Matthew McConaughey get together to make a movie.
Clooney says, "I'll direct."
DiCaprio says "I'll act".
McConaughey says, "I'll write, I'll write, I'll write".
You'll get that joke if you know McConaughey. Hope you like it. Take Care.
Love you....

I love Nickleback so I thought this was a great joke.
Hope you are doing well. I think I will be spending more time with your auntie out here. She is getting over COVID at the hospital and I will be taking here home in the next week. She is doing really well as she has the drive of a LION. Tell everyone hi for me. Luv you.

Hi Lindsey, I wondered if you placed this information within your Latter Day Saints group to view lately. When I tried to get on today the website wouldn\'t bring up your information and the site said they had some kind of outage so it might be worth advertising the site again to whom ever you want to reach out to. I\'m going to work on this as well as I have this bookmarked. I know your train ride was difficult please run a search on \"Amtrak wheelchair access issues\" on the internet for perhaps some helpful information from the Department of Justice. Love you and you know your Colorado family loves you! You amaze us coming out here to visit and your auntie was so happy to see you as was I. Love Doni
