I'm a 46 year old semi disabled man of many talents (https://youtu.be/5jX6q-us1rs?si=O5BBn8By334Kl5qZ) . I'm known as Sam Howard with most of my networking and Bodyknowledge in my internet edutainer persona. I consider myself semi-disabled(and semi-introverted) because I'm quite able in many ways. I have been using a cane for over a decade (the initial issue started in 2006). It was conveyed to me when I was hospitalized in 2015 that my cane use is due to trauma, depression and anxiety. I've experienced abuses of various kinds from my youth to adulthood. Abuse that which has been violence related, sexual, verbal and read. I haven't chronically used (or been addicted to) illicit substances or have had a criminal history. I'm yet to receive disability. Recently the steps have been put in motion to receive disability but it takes time. I've been able to make mostly good choices for most of my life, but I obviously struggle unfortunately due to the abuse history and likely genetic factors from what little I know about my history. I'm adopted and I haven't had access to my family background information.
I've had a YouTube channel for over a decade that's produced over 1000 videos (and typed posts) related to fitness, humor, music, and wisdom. I express myself because I need to but gaining enough of an audience to make any let alone a significant amount of money is rather difficult. I have a Patreon page that I've had for over a year that has only yielded one patron that I no longer have. In my content I don't constantly remind people of my disability, because I don't want people to only view me as "the guy with the disability". I've been networking to obtain (online primarily) fitness coaching clients but thus far this has been unsuccessful. I need assistance with numerous things, some more immediate than others as I work and wait for things to progress. I have things that I need and want to accomplish. Stories to tell, songs to write etc. Time is the most valuable commodity and I please need help with mine.
