>available to parents of children with vaccine injuries. My daughter who

>is 6 yrs old was injured by a dpt shot and now has extreme developmental

>delays , autism and epilepsy.  We were awarded compensation through the

>vaccine compensation fund and I know our experiences and knowledge would

>be of great support to those families going through the process or

>parents who suspect a problem. I believe things happen for a reason and

>is my duty to try to offer support and guidence if needed to other

>parents.  I can still remember the day and hour I spoke to another

>parent when we had no clue where to turn.  I have spoken with many

>parents since my daughters experience and feel really good about doing

>that.

>Just thinking about that 1st contact still gives me chills.  I was

>contacted by many parents who simply hunted us down because our story

>appeared in many newspapers around the country.  It should be easier to

>get in touch with another parent in your shoes.

>please do not hesitate to contact me or to refer other parents to speak

>with me........I need the responsibility.....it's part of the healing

>process!  Thank you ........please respond to me I want to help any way
