“Ellen’s Story” is a testament of her persistent struggle for literacy, the crippling defeat Ellen personally suffered in her adult life due to this problem, and the ultimate steps she needed to take toward triumph. Ellen’s triumphs came with more pain. Literacy problems had devastated her life and her relationships; she felt an incredible fear knowing the lives she had hurt. But then she learned that she was far from alone; there were millions in Canada that were feeling the same shame and hopelessness that had. What was the true number of people–particularly children–suffering as a result of this issue? The terrible effects of literacy and numeracy problems on human health, wealth and happiness are unseen. The victims face lifelong shame, guilt and failure. Her hope for Ellen’s Story will open eyes to real destruction of hidden epidemic and give courage to those willing to come forward and attend classes. But more importantly, since less than 5% of adults with learning difficulties seek help, Ellen hopes her story will give courage and hope to others.
