About Me:
For over 30 years, starting when I was old enough to begin to understand life, I have dealt with people suffering or trying to deal with various diseases and conditions, as I also suffered a long battle. I am not a doctor, I do not pretend to be one, what I am, is a caring person in real life. I hope anyone able to that stops by here will also donate some time to people in need of answers and a friendly chat. This site "Donations For Us" is about giving, donations are not only about money.
