Believe the best about people but also when people show you who they are believe them– that’s my message to the world.

It’s 11 :  46 AM on day 2740 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, read Proverbs 11:30-31  and promote my 50 New Feet Campaign benefiting MiracleFeet – A HUGE thanks to Anonymous who donated $100 which brings the total raised to  $12 659 only $6 091 more to raise by June 17, 2018 to reach my new goal of helping 75 kids with Clubfoot by June 17, 2018

Yesterday someone was telling me that her cousin was misusing the social grant she was receiving for her children so I told her to tell her cousin that what she is doing is wrong and I went on to say I am eligible for a disability grant but I chose not to apply for it because my parents can afford to take care of me and also because there are people who need the grant more than I do to which she said you would be getting more than the child grant, maybe R1000, you could use it to pay the person taking care of you (in other words, her) I was gobsmacked I could not believe she managed to twist a normal conversation into a way for her to get a bigger pay cheque I also couldn’t believe she was willing to use my (I hate this word but I’ll use it because it’s contextually appropriate) disability to make a better life for herself sometimes I worry how people will treat me when my parents are no longer around.
