I have severe ADHD that went undiagnosed until I was a young adult.
I have had a lot of problems and setbacks in my life, many that were a direct result of my ADHD. All my life I was told I was stupid, lazy, selfish, annoying, etc. Right now I'm beginning to feel like those things are true! I live with my sister, and I care for my nieces and some other children during the day, but I don't make enough money to get an apartment of my own or to go to school. So I am sort of stuck here, relying on others to help me get by! I like living here and the kids light up my life, but I get a lot of pressure from other family members who think I am an underachiever.
I really want to go to this conference to be surrounded by others like me. I would like to experience being in a place where I am not the loser, the weirdo, the outsider, the disappointment, of the group. There will be classes and seminars on coping and succeeding with ADHD. I expect to learn a lot and have a lot of fun there. It'll also be a huge break for me, to go off on my own for a few days and be myself, away from my family, the little kids, etc. I am listing this in the GREEDY section, but I really feel like I NEED this!
I am selling some books that I have self-published, and saving up as much money as I can in other ways. I have also signed up to volunteer at the conference, gaining me a free ticket. But I am definitely going to need some financial assistance for the hotel room while I'm there, and for transportation to the conference, which is a few states away. Please help me make it there!
