Monsie R.

How has USeb changed my life with Epidermolysis Bullosa? Although I was raised to be confident, I still needed that reassurance I could do better than what people saw. I hardly ever met with others with EB, so I often felt alienated from the outside world. I did not feel confident that I would have succeeded by myself; however, I always had the mindset that I would someday. After getting married, I jumped right in experiencing daily responsibilities adults are faced with, but I have always wanted more because deep down I knew I could do more. I am such a free-spirit—always having the desire to travel, soak in, be inspired, but never dreamt I would see that day. My husband and I were gifted the opportunity by dear friends’ to travel to Utah, participating in the first USeb camp back in 2009. We were both overjoyed. It felt like a safe haven where I could be myself—not censor myself, empathize, laugh, cry, sing, hug, and not feel rejected, judged, contagious, or gross. We loved every moment of it. It made me realize how society is programmed into beautified perfection. But really, what does that mean? Having an absolutely perfect body without scars? It is more. I speak for anyone that has a challenge they were born with or recently developed; it does not disable you from pursuing your dreams or bettering the world. We only disable ourselves with the way we think. It is what is inside—the heart and soul. <br> <br>After the wonderful experience at the USeb camp in 2009, I started going out by myself. I went even beyond that, traveling on an air plane by myself. To many, these are normal easy to-dos, but to me, it is like successfully constructing the most amazing artifact. EB does not define me; it is only part of my charm. I am human. <br> <br>During the recent ski retreat, I had that doubt come into my mind that I am going to be completely horrid at this! I tried being very active as a child by biking, horseback riding, and I even tried skating! It is has been many years since then so my core has not worked much, sadly. When I saw the morning group of friends that skied with their challenges, and the joy beaming upon their faces after their sessions, it immediately warmed my heart. Most of us chose to do the sit-ski in a bi-ski, which is an amazing creation! <br> <br>My instructor taught me amazing techniques to help with my balance and lengthening my spine. I’ve never been to a chiropractor, but it felt as if I was readjusted, in a good way. I could feel a huge difference health wise immediately after one session. <br> <br>The first day of learning, I was uneasy and not as confident, but felt more at ease during the end of my session. I was stoked for my next session being the next day, but the EB had me questioning about going again. Skiing didn’t hurt me at all, but the overall norm of pain at the end of the day came down on me (a typical night for me usually). I changed my way of thinking the night before—rethinking this pain will not defeat me. Because, you know what EB? I just skied down a mountain today!

Bountiful Community Food Pantry

I have been a volunteer at this organizations operations center for almost five years, three to five days a week. The greatest good comes from the hearts of the volunteers who donate thousands of hours, driving trucks, lifting and sorting canned goods, moving donations to specified areas, and handing out these items to the clients, at times, upwards of 600 families a month. The management has worked hard to not only take care of clients needs but has also formed working relationships with other community individuals and organizations who are trying to help those in need. As far as I know, we are the only organization in Davis County of this type that operates with only two paid employees, in my opinion underpaid I might add. <br>The pantry exists not only to serve those on need of food assistance but also for the volunteers. I, for one, have grown in many ways from my associations with the good people who have given of their time and talents to make this a wonderful organization to be part of, from the board of directors down to the community service workers. Doing good is not always easy but at the Bountiful Community Food Pantry it abounds and is easily recognized by the smiles on both clients and volunteers faces, the laughter, and oft times tears of gratitude we hear, see and share. There are volunteers who have 10+ years helping the pantry continue to grow to meet the community's needs. I would invite all who feel a need to find joy in service to come see for yourself what can be truly be a rewarding experience.
