Hello,

My name is Aliya and my mommy rescued me in July 2019. When I arrived, she was very wary of me as she would be extra work for her to commit to when all she wanted was to stay in bed where she was safe. She felt sock every day from flashbacks that brought her to her knees, seizures which knocked her to the ground, fatigue which prevented her movement and pain which made her question her existence. She knew I would be something she would have to get up for and move to talk me for walks.

Since then it has been a constant fight, many medical appointments (I feel like they think of her as an experiment), and visits with surgeons for her to live a more fulfilled life. With my half, all this does not seem like a constant battle anymore but an adventure we can take together. She no longer has dark spots under her eyes, a bald head or live in a wheelchair. I have helped her with all of it and I want to help her with the rest of life. I am forever grateful for her rescuing me so now I rescue her. We are stronger together.

Me and my mommy
