Sixteen years ago, a massive stroke forced me to retire early from a successful career in public accounting. I lost the use of my dominant hand and much of my independence—but not my spirit.

Since then, I’ve worked hard to rebuild my life. I’ve written books and articles to help others survive and thrive after stroke. I’ve spoken to groups, mentored stroke survivors, and even learned new technologies on my own. I’ve created a meaningful life—but I still want more: I want to earn a good living, travel, see the world!

Now, I’m ready to rejoin the workforce in a new way. I’ve found a four-month online training program that will prepare me for a remote career in tech—something I can do one-handed, from home. The only thing standing in my way is the money needed for the tuition and the cost of buying a compatible computer.

That’s why I started this GoFundMe campaign: https://gofund.me/6ff91243

Your support—whether financial or simply sharing the link—can help me take the next step toward supporting myself again. This isn’t just about making a living. It’s about reclaiming my future.

If I’ve ever inspired you or made you smile, please consider helping me now. Every donation, every share, and every encouraging word helps more than you know.

With love and gratitude,

Title: Life After Stroke: Why I’m Asking for Your Help Now

Sixteen years ago, a massive stroke forced me to retire early from a successful career in public accounting. I lost the use of my non-dominant, left hand and much of my independence—but not my spirit.

Since then, I’ve worked hard to rebuild my life. I’ve written books to help others survive and thrive after stroke. I’ve spoken to groups, mentored fellow survivors, and taught myself how to use new technologies. I’ve created a meaningful life—but I still want more.

Now, I’m ready to rejoin the workforce in a new way. I’ve found a four-month online training program that will prepare me for a remote career in tech—something I can do one-handed, from home. The only thing standing in my way is the cost of tuition and a compatible computer to complete the coursework.
