Empower Hunter to begin an independent new life!
Donation protected
Hi everyone, my name is Michelle Cullen and Hunter's Father is David Cullen. We are privileged to be the parents of a remarkable young man who is 22 years old, kind, creative, friendly, highly intelligent, and has a heart of gold. He is so brilliant in the subject of politics and current events he has amassed an amazing 42,000+ followers on his Twitter page, knows every make, model, and serial number of every brand of fire alarm and security equipment, and can hold his own in a one-to-one conversation with the Senior Meteorologist of the National Weather Service in Chicago. He started playing on the computer at age 2, taught himself to type by age 4, and was playing complex strategy games by age 5!
Unfortunately, the twist to our incredible son's story is that he has lived with the mental pain and suffering of having 5 disabilities for most of his life. He was diagnosed with Autism at 16 months of age, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, ADHD, and Bipolar Disorder at a very young age. He has seen dozens of Doctors and Therapists and been prescribed a countless array of psychiatric medications intended to help his depression, anger, fears, rage, anxieties, phobias, and more. From the age of 16, he has lived in group homes and supported living sites with 24/7 staff and programs to help him learn to live on his own.
Today, Hunter is ready to take the leap into his very own apartment! He will still have some part-time staff to assist him on his journey.
He intends to use his Twitter page to create an income. He is so incredibly skilled at research, it's natural for him to learn all the latest newsworthy information about politics and current events (foreign & domestic) from his many sources during the countless hours he spends on his computer. He then shares it with his adoring Twitter audience who are from all walks of life including doctors, lawyers, homemakers, educators, bankers, students, politicians, and many others. Many of these people have traveled long distances to meet with him in person as they are amazed at his level of knowledge and the way he things.
He only has one obstacle, his finances. As his parents, it pains to be unable to provide very much financial assistance, due to my disability, as I would give anything to see him happy in his "own" place." Hunter needs help with the money to pay his rent for a few months while he launches his business, a deposit, utility deposits (if necessary), furniture to fill his entire place, studio equipment, desktop computer (just for business), kitchen supplies, sheets, towels, lamps, blinds, curtains, and so on.
He will be so grateful to all those who are kind and generous enough to donate to the new life he so richly deserves. With his tremendous drive, intelligence and charisma he will surely become a superstar someday. With your help his dreams for a successful, independent life can come true!
