Wonderful Digital Story
Hi Elicia.
Well done all round. When I saw the title in the Stories for Change update I thought, 'What is that about? I have to find out.' Glad I did. I'm impressed by how economically you tell such a powerful story.
I'm currently helping to run a project called 'West End Digital Story Spaces' our blog is at 'westendstories.blogspot.com'. A number of our members have mental illnesses and/or disabilities. I'll make sure they get the chance to have a listen to your story. I'm sure they'll be impressed.
Thanks for being such an excellent advocate.
Regards
Daryll Bellingham

I am looking forward to your next story about your encounters with social workers while living in a remote location in Michigan's Upper Peninsula raising your 5 children! Thank you for having the courage to share you stories.
