The Antonova Family
Our Story
My name is Maria Antonova. I suffer from PTSD, which often leads to hospitalizations. In the past couple of years, I have been hospitalized 3 or 4 times. Just recently I was discharged from 2 different hospitals only days apart due to the effects of medications. This hospital stays often costs me my job and eventually leaves me struggling with bills. I am very much behind on rent, and only have electricity because of a program that assists with keeping electricity on. I was cleared to start work on the 27th of January. The only work I managed to keep was Zumba Instructor which at the moment gives me 2 hours a week. So far I have worked with my health care team on obtaining TDI. However, I just wish to be a normal person with a regular job. I am used to dealing with my disorder, so I am not looking for pity. I simply want to get my life back on track. Thank you.
