When I was 3.5 years old, I was born with an ultra-rare disease called Alpha-Mannosidosis. This disease caused a deficiency of the mannosidase enzyme. With this deficiency, it wrecked havoc on every single one of my cells. This disease is degenerative and will get worse throughout the years. I had a successful bone marrow transplant when I was 4.5 years old. There were lots of therapies and prayers from others throughout my childhood into my teenage years. As I was in high school I was in a car accident and a few years later went through anxiety, depression, and eventually wanted to give up. The Lord met me when I was 19 years old and now my life is completely different.
