HOW IT STARTED

My Story

It’s been well known that it’s difficult for people to go through changes in their lives (changing jobs, moving to another house/place/country or going through some physical change).

I’ve created this site because I had a hard time finding resources when I had a spinal cord injury after my back surgery in 2019.

I am here to share my story and journey and hear about yours. I want to share how I adapt to be independent and take care of my children.

As a single mother of two young daughters, it is important for me to stay strong and to show a good example to them and people who need inspiration.

I was paralyzed and operated a power wheelchair with my head. Whenever i shared that I wanted to walk again, people looked at me as if I was disillusioned. I believe in a God who can move mountains and believed He had the power to move mine. I never gave up on my hope. More Info

Being an athlete all of my life, I try to look at my spinal cord injury as a long tennis match. Meaning in a tennis match you go through periods of success and failure. With a spinal cord injury I go through periods of positive and negative emotions. More Info
