Kanye, I appreciate what you an Sway have done. I also suffer from ptsd and have a story to share with the world. I also am actively taking control of my life by moving from Oakland to Altadena to stay with my cousin and go to Pasadena Community College to study TV production. I also put out a mixed tape called Saving Our Babies. I put it together on a State Disability budget. Now I'm putting together a compilation and working on some movie scripts. I was working at School of the Arts in San Francisco, Ca and I'm presently on a leave of absence due to my PTSD symptoms. I was running an open mic every other week during lunchtime so the youth can get out their thought and views. I lost my grandmother while I was in Iraq in 2004 along with soldiers and I'm still dealing with this, So i know that your still dealing with the loss of your mother. MY PRAYERS AND BLESSINGS GO OUT TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY! I was working with Special Ed. students and A manager for a parking company. i was fired unfairly from the parking job due to the PTSD and now I'm taking matters in my own hand. Keep up the good fight and God will have us do something monumental. I have the vision and the spirit to change the world 1 child at a time starting with myself and my children. Thanks again and keep doing what your doing. You are not giving these soldiers fish your teaching them how to become fisherman! PEACE Sgt. Antoine Snelgro.
