0.5 Million Chance

Published on Wealthy Affiliate — a platform for building real online businesses with modern training and AI.

2 days ago I found out that my baby who is now almost 8 months old has a rare genetic condition (affects 1 in 500,000.00 babies) called PMD. He will lose the use of his arms and legs, probably never speak and will need assistance breathing and eating. The prognosis is not good.

My life has changed over night and I am in shock to say the least. As members of WA we probably all agree that it is a dream of ours to make a full time income by working online. This is one of my goals now more than ever. Because if I was able to do this then the huge financial weight that we have on our shoulders would not be such a worry. I find myself thinking about surviving on one income, providing the special equipment that he will need and the reality of never being able to have a 'day job' to meet these financial needs. But by working on my website, learning, and in turn helping other members at WA, I have a hope that one day (I am patient), making even a small amount of money is possible.

We are all here for many different reasons and this is mine. Thanks to all for reading this and I look forward to talking to you soon!
