How? #ability #DisabilityAdvocacy #Disability #Homeless #Cancer #ChildLoss

Early in my injury journey, while on a walk in the woods I met someone that inspired this. Meeting him helped me understand, that as bad as my situation was, things can be more difficult. I also realized that knowing this didn’t lessen what I was experiencing. Click the link the read the full story that led up to How. How?

Perfectly Abled #ability #notbound

THIS IS A POEM I WROTE SOME TIME AGO. I WROTE IT AS SORT OF A WAY OF RANTING A FRUSTRATION

Some are inclined to
say I’m confined.
Tell me how does
it sound when someone says
you are bound?
When you see the chair,
you really don’t see
That it’s an instrument
that lets me be free
to live life as I will.
You know, I really hate it
ten times triple
when you all refer
to me as a cripple.
Okay, yes,
I am disabled.
But in spite of that.
I’m perfectly abled

Create More Activities for #People Who Can't Use Their Hands

When you have a #Disability that stops you from using your hands it is certainly a huge pain. My disability makes it extremely difficult for me to do some things because I can’t take part in everyday activities this is incredibly frustrating for me because I just want to do what every person my age does. There are a few activities that I can do and I try to keep my #ability to do these things on my own but that does not always work. I can become isolated and down because I can’t do things.

I have not got much use of my hands at all. I often don’t want to go out because I have done everything that I can do, and I am bored of doing the same things repeatedly. To tell you the truth, I am sick of it! I know that I am not the only one who can’t use their hands. Why hasn’t anyone thought about helping us? We need different things to do!

A few years ago, a good friend of mine had a major operation that could have damaged the nerve signals in his hands or arms, which could have resulted in him not being able to use his hands ever again. I was extremely scared that he would lose the use of his hands because I didn’t want him to go through the same experiences that I am going through now.

I have an online petition which I created to try and help create more activities for physically disabled people who can’t use their hands. It would mean the world to me if you would help me and a lot of other people if you could sign and share my petition.

Let’s see if we can reach this goal and help change opportunities for physically disabled people who have not got the use of their hands.
