Need a miracle 2 give me hope

Donation protected
How you will use the money:
Since my disease is progressive, having an independant life is difficult because my wheel chair cannot be used in my house and I cant even use the bathroom. I am trying to campaign on my behalf to try to get a place built onto my moms house for me to continue to have a positive life. I would like to remain an independant person and continue my dreams of becoming an advocate for others with disbilities who feel bullied and alone. I was on Pittsburgh Live with Charlie Lavalle and My Bike Program and I spoke about individuals about disabilities and raied monies for others to get bikes.I would appreciate any consideration in assisting me . I realize this is a huge request, but any monies would go toward this dream.

My name is Jenevieve Woods and I am trying to become an independent positive adult. I am afflicted with Mitochondria disease and for most of my life I have been invisible to my peers. They have treated me like I never existed. I wrote a poem and began volunteering with organizations to promote awareness of individuals with disabilities. So far this poem has gone viral .. hope you enjoy reading it.
I am the INVISIBLE GIRL ……
I am here but you don’t see me
I am here but you don’t think about me
I am here but you don’t care about me
There are times I say hi
But you walk by
There are times when I cry
I AM NOT COOL ENOUGH
Not being normal 
But I have learned to love me
But you don’t care either way
BTW the other day when I fell , you all walked over me
And when my bag fell down the steps
You kicked it
I want to remind you , that although I have a disability
I am a person
Yea a real live person
Who has a heart
Who can see and appreciate all of you
I was not given the gifts you have been given
But I have something you don’t
I see people as people
You see me as damaged
And yes these words are hard
Because my days at North Hills High are just like this
You ask Why?
Well let me enlighten you ,,
Yes I have a disease it is called Mitochondrion Disease
Yes I cant walk real well
Yes my vision is fading
And when I walk into the wall and you laugh
You mock and call me names
It hurts
When I talk to you and you don’t respond or walk away
That hurts to
I ask the only person I have my mom
WHY
Why don’t they care mom?
She inspires me to try and reminds me of my many gifts
“Inspire them Peach” she says…
So… although it may be hard I have something to say…
I HAVE GIFTS
I am smart
I am kind
I can love
I can feel …
Maybe I am here to show you acceptance
Because my days here are numbered..
Yours are many ..
You have the gift of life
You have the gift of hope
DON”T WASTE IT ..
My Project is for me personally. I need adaptions made to my house to help me feel strong and independent.
