&#8220;On the street I saw a small girl cold and shivering in a thin dress, with little hope of a decent meal. I became angry and said to God; &#8216;Why did you permit this? Why don’t you do something about it?&#8217; For a while God said nothing. That night [...]]]></description>

&#8220;The Physically Handicapped Actors and Musical Artists League (PHAMALY.org) is a theatre group and touring company that performs throughout the greater Denver area.

Here now is a truly, truly beautiful essay—titled &#8220;My wheelchair makes me invisible.&#8221;
It was written by Toronto&#8217;s Jennifer Wilding (who temporarily needs a wheelchair to get around), and originally published in the Globe and Mail and on theglobeandmail.com:

Quoting the always-always-always entertaining Karen Putz, writing on her website deafmomworld.com:

Warren Macdonald knows a LOT about motivation. He famously (see appearances on Oprah, Larry King Live, Vicki Gabereau, The Hour with George Stroumboulopoulos, etc) survived a harrowing, agonizing ordeal while mountain climbing, when he was trapped beneath a one-ton boulder in a freak rock fall. Macdonald’s test of will lasted two full days before a helicopter [...]]]></description>

When Rob Buren broke his back mountain biking last October, he lost more than the use of his legs—he lost the physical confidence his 6-foot-2 frame had always given him.
And though the 38-year-old father of two quickly learned sporting activities such as hand cycling and sit skiing, it wasn&#8217;t until he [...]]]></description>
