The Internet: an important tool for me
The internet has a special place in my life. It gained a special importance when my child was diagnosed with Hemophilia, a rare disease that affects the blood coagulation. Most of the information I got about this disease and how to live with it comes from the Internet. I have also made friendships in forums and blogs with other mothers from Brazil, Chile, Spain and United States. Their children are also suffering from the same disease and this made me feel that I am not alone in this struggle. We ask questions, take doubts, we report cases of our lives, we compare treatments in different countries and share experiences.

It is also important in getting back to studying because I can research different subjects and learn about the current news. I am unemployed and If I didn’t have the internet, I would be isolated at home. Through the internet I am updated, I make investigations, I am alive.
