    • About Me

      I have 3 boys, 29, 26 and 14. Graphic arts is what I went to school for, but I run a day care with children, ages 3 mos. to 4 yrs. I was diagnosed with hep-c 15 yrs. ago and am just now getting treatment. Right now I'm in my 4th month of treatment. It's been hard working during this, already I feel better having this support group.

I am at the start of treatment and I recognize the financial hardship that treatment brings...but the way that I see it...we cannot afford not to!
