The Makeover Begins |
I desire to do better. I'm building a nonprofit to help at-risk children. It helps me be at home with mom. However, given the economy, I've been unable to find a job. Employers are seeking polished, well-kept individuals. I have a skin rash and discoloration over my lower face, scalp, neck, chest and back. I am a single mother, age 45, who weighs 290. I am always tired and desire to be more active with my son who is overweight and wants a pretty mom. |
