Backstroke

Grace hell is a person I met through a Facebook group, she reached out to me when I was looking for guests. she's a very sweet person, she likes to swim, paint, and she started her advocacy when she was 14 years old, which is when she had her stroke in the ocean in between the mainland and the island. Her brother had to come and rescue her,  once they finally got to dry land, he had to even perform CPR. She talked about how she didn't feel that she could ever have a stroke because she was so young and it's very rare for a group. She talks about her loss of functions to her limbs and how her face droped when she was in the hospital, and there was a difference of opinions between her family and the doctors on what was actually wrong with her. After the stroke, she also had many different mental issues, addiction issues, and even to this day she still has problems with the right side of her body even though it has gotten a lot better. We go deep into a lot of the challenges that she faced and continues to face to life with her mental health, but how she pushes through it through her advocacy.
