Day 1088: Helping the ones you can

Leave a reply

I can’t help everyone all I can do is help the ones I can – that’s what I keep learning  🙂

 

It’s 12  : 10 PM on day 1088 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to pray,  brush my teeth, read 1 Samuel 22, publish my Disability of the Day feature,  feed myself  boiled egg and Bran Flakes for breakfast,   tweet and Facebook about my campaign -nobody donated so far today but  Kate over at Groovy News Network donated $10 yesterday (thanks again Kate) now I only need to raise $70  in the next 40 days to reach goal :)  –  practice sitting up straight to strengthen my core muscles and  stretch my hamstrings.

 

Today I realized I can’t help everyone all I can do is help the ones I can I try my best every day to help people but I always feel like it’s never enough when I’m doing something pointless like watching TV I feel so guilty because I know that we are only given a finite amount of time on this planet to do what we need to do I guess I still need to find the balance between trying to make my mark on the world and just being a twenty-two-year-old woman. Do you try to help everyone and feel like you let people down when you can’t?

You can love people you’ve never met – that’s what I learned today 🙂

It’s 7: 46 PM on day 228 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, watch the royal wedding – it was a real life fairytale I have never seen anything like it 🙂 – feed myself rice and curry for lunch, go to physiotherapy – it was PAINFUL but it’s my own fault I didn’t exercise as much as I should have in the past two weeks – watch some more TV, feed myself grilled chicken for dinner and tweet about my Clean Water For All Campaign – no luck.

As you know a ten-year-old boy by the name of Brennan Daigle has found a special place in my heart and quite recently Brigaders – that’s what Brennan’s fans call themselves on Brennan’s Facebook page, Brennan’s Brigade – raised enough money to make Brennan’s dream of owning a truck come true which in itself meant so much to me but today Kay – a fellow Brigader – told me that she signed the truck on my behalf and in that moment I almost cried not because she signed the truck but because she thought of me. Take a look at the mark I made from all the way across the ocean:

Are we connecting on Twitter? If not, say hi at http://twitter.com/Nisha360

If you’ve given to my cause or you can’t give now, please help me by sharing my cause with others. You can tweet about it like my friend Stan Faryna. This is the tweet he uses: @Nisha360 is a brave, smart young woman trying to make a better world for us all. Please help her do an amazing thing. http://www.firstgiving.com/nishavarghese

Stan’s very sweet for saying so, but feel free to write what reflects you best.

Thanks to all my friends out there who are helping me make my dream come true: to make a better world for all of us!
