Comments: Hello,
I am 28 years old and am disabled since birth. I was born with an "Intra Cranial Bleed " (In Untero) and just like Rick Hoyt, and his parents, my parents were told the same thing as the Hoyt's were told. To expect me to be a vegetable and never walk, talk or do anything for myself, I wasn't supposed to live to see my first Birthday! Also like Rick( God Bless Him and His family, ) We were also told to have me institutionalized. But no way in God's green earth was that gonna happen!
I was born with "Motor Function Damage" as a result of the brain bleed.
But that was in july of 1979 . Today I have overcome many obstacles and am tring to fight my way to becoming healthy again. there is more to my story but i'll tell it some time soon.

Dear Hoyt Family,

Hi my name is Heather and I am also a disabled young adult. How are you? Things are quite busy here! I just read your article on "AmericanProfile and it is so awsome what you can do for not only yourselves but the benefit of others as well! You are very inpireing and so much so, in fact that I have concidered tring to find someone to tell my story. I am 28 years old and have been through pretty much the same things as Rick has, exept the only difference is that I don't have cerebral palsy. My parents were told the exact same as you were about Rick too. and like you my parents didn't give up on me. I love them Very much and don't know what i'd do without them and my older brother, who has been there for me through it all I love him too! I am racking my brain tring to think of how I can help tell people about us Families with disabilities how life can really be good, and all that but don't know where to start, maybe you could give me an idea? If so I'd really appreciate it and God Bless You! Take care!

Sincerely, Heather Kennedy
