Day 2171: “Amos Winter: The cheap all-terrain wheelchair”

Simple technology that solves complicated problems is magic– that’s what I’ve realized.

It’s 10 : 03 PM on day 2171 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, have breakfast, read 1 Chronicles 16:10, learn one new thing – A fortnight is a unit of time equal to 14 days (2 weeks). The word derives from the Old English: fēowertyne niht, meaning “fourteen nights”.- and work on my 25 Smiles Campaign – yesterday Seenachechi donated $250 (thanks SO MUCH chechi your ongoing support means a lot 🙂 ) which brings the total raised to $7 475 only $5 025 more to raise to reach my second goal of raising $12 500 for Smile Train before Jan 10 2017 (SO SO SO GRATEFUL to everyone who has supported this campaign so far 🙂 ) .

Yesterday I watched “Amos Winter: The cheap all-terrain wheelchair” I loved that this wheelchair solved a complicated problem in a simple way. Watch “Amos Winter: The cheap all-terrain wheelchair” below:

Day 2108: Why I am grateful for my wheelchair every day

Leave a reply

Be grateful even for the things you sometimes wish you didn’t have to have– that’s my message to the world.

It’s 12 : 15 PM on day 2108 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, read John 1: 16, have breakfast, learn one new thing – Timeline of Women’s Suffrage Granted, by Country. Learn the year in which women’s suffrage was granted, organized by year. New Zealand was the first country to allow women to vote (in 1893), while the King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia granted women the right to vote in 2011. -and work on my 25 Smiles Campaign – raised $5 910 only $340 more to raise before Jan 10 2017 (SO SO SO GRATEFUL to everyone who has supported this campaign so far 🙂 ).

This morning as I was listing out loud all the things I was grateful for my mom heard me say wheelchair it surprised her she repeated the word almost as if asking a question and I said something like yes, wheelchair because although I would rather not need one I am grateful to have one because I know there are people who need a wheelchair but don’t have one we must all be grateful even for the things we sometimes wish we didn’t have to have.

Day 1334: 3 Advantages of Being in a Wheelchair

There are some advantages that come with being in a wheelchair – that’s what I realized two days ago.

It’s 1 : 34 PM on day 1334 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, pray, read Psalm 21, publish my Disability of the Day feature, promote my Eradicate AIDS campaign – no luck so far today but my aunties from America gave me $200 yesterday (thank you God and thank you aunties) which I donated to Eradicate AIDS on their behalf which brings my total raised to $802.85 I’m so grateful and happy 🙂 – feed myself bran flakes for breakfast, practice sitting up straight to strengthen my core muscles, stretch my hamstrings and promote my campaign some more – still on $802.85 so far today but it’s better than being on $602.85.

Two days ago after voting I realized that there are some advantages that come with being in a wheelchair (I’ll admit the disadvantages of being in a wheelchair far outweigh the advantages of being in a wheelchair but still there are advantages) and I took the liberty of listing them. Take a look:

3 Advantages of Being in a Wheelchair

I seldom have to wait in line (wherever I go whether it’s at the polling station or at the airport when I show up people either make way or I jump the queue another way I’m like a living VIP pass both my family and I think it’s pretty cool)
I always have a parking space (wherever I go there’s a parking space reserved especially for me only a few people in the world can say that)
I get to meet really cool people (oftentimes when I’m out in public strangers come up to me and start a conversation I will never forget this one time my sister and I were waiting for our dad to come pick us up from the movies and this woman asked if I had CP when my sister asked how she knew the woman told us about her daughter who died who also had CP)
