What’s a job you would like to do for just one day?
If I was not completely disabled and unable to walk too far on my own due to wearing braces on my feet and legs. Honestly, I would absolutely love to work with hospice patients, who have cancer and no family members to be with them at the end of their journey. I know personally how it feels to be mostly alone during treatment which made me try in different ways to make a difference with one idea at a time.
Unfortunately, I was a cancer patient in 2002-2003. I am a proud survivor, who went back to school and got a GED. I also began career in communications by going to college and earning aan associate degree and bachelor degree. In May 2003, my aggressive and experimental cancer treatment ended and I was told that I was in remission.
During my own personal cancer treatment, I had the pleasure of meeting and visiting many women who were in the hospital facing their own treatment. They had no one visiting them during their treatment, which made me really sad. Several of my new friends were put on hospice but had no visitors. I stayed with them whenever my nurses allowed me to go visit my new friend who was facing death. I was able to walk well then but I was severely injured from the aggressive yet experimental treatment which was the beginning of my disability.
I believe that the only thing I focused on during this time was trying to get that kind of job where no one would die alone around me. I couldn’t find one that would accept my disability and I was not able to go to school since I was already in communication classes in college. Thankfully, I slowly built a nonprofit organization and community online in 2007. This community helped cancer patients and survivors to connect online in a community much like Facebook. I built a website to talk about what the community was about.
Honestly, I was disabled and began thinking about how to build a support community for meeting others like me. The community welcomed those who needed online support and gave encouragement in an online platform as well as through monthly greeting cards that were mailed out to those who signed up to receive them. However, I was not able to afford keeping the community open because the network I chose began charging high monthly fees and the website cost was another monthly fee.
Plus, the monthly greeting cards costs were adding up to more than I can afford and the postal stamps each month became too much for me to handle alone as well. Lastly, I couldn’t raise the money needed to become a 501 3 C, which was over 9000 just to apply. So with a heavy heart, I decided to disband the organization and close down the community after letting everyone know about what was going on and why we were closing in Jan 2014.
Not long after closing the community down, I began focusing on my writing career which was a blessing in disguise. I began building my brand new website and new blog at PrincessCrystalSays.com.
My personal blog allows me to create posts about different topics that are relevant to my life and possibly to my reader’s life as well. They may be who may be dealing with the same issues that I passionately write about in my personal blog. Once in a while, I enjoy writing posts about my own personal life experiences which I have faced as well my own health issues too.
However, throughout my own writing career and my writing journey, I never forgot about the work that I once did with cancer patients. I am looking for different ways that I can help out online like building a new facebook group for cancer patients and survivors can meet others and share their own personal experiences.
My next goal that I gonna focus on is to begin working on growing a small group on Facebook, which will allow any type cancer patients and survivors to connect with each other online. I hope to help them connect with others who maybe can help them through this difficult time.
I hope it will be a blessing throughout their own journey and I want to make sure that they have access to support and friendship online. I personally know how it feels to be completely disabled and basically stuck at home. I hope to create an online community or group that will grow and become a place which offers online support and new friendships to all members.
Anyway, that is what I would do if I could walk even as a volunteer. However, I am better working with people in an online setting. What would you like do as a job for one day? Make small difference and make someone smile, no matter what you may currently do for work.
