Greetings,

Before you say, “Google it”, let me tell you about my situation:

I have advanced Lou Gehrig's disease, Motor Neuron Disease.

I'm both quadriplegic and mute, using a computer that tracks my gaze.

I wish to study at the Open University in the United Kingdom. I have no money though, being spent on medical supplies, etc.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.Thanks,

Gimblestich, USA
