Greetings friends, I always want to hear from my audience please let me know how you are in the comments. I always get questions about my wheelchair. so, I decided to do something about it. Below are 10 things I want people to know about wheelchairs. I hope you all take away something from this. Enjoy and have a good day.

"Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.
Matthew 5:5 NIV"
https://matthew.bible/matthew-5-5

• If you see someone struggling to push their wheelchair. Don’t just go behind them and push. How would you like it if someone grabbed your legs and made you walk?
• Not all wheelchairs are the same. Most of the time their custom made. Just like every human, every wheelchair is different.
• If you see someone in a mass-produced wheelchair. Please be patient they are probably uncomfortable. These chairs are not meant for everyday use.
• If you see someone, open the door for them. Don’t cut in front of them because you’re in a hurry. It’s not polite to assume that someone else will help.
• The wheelchair may be an extension of their body but unlike yourself, they can’t just clean it when they want to. If you see that it’s a little dirty don’t judge them.
• Ask how to transfer them if you’re going to do that. Don’t just grab someone’s body. That would be very rude wouldn’t it?
• Not all wheelchairs have tires filled with air.
• The vision is at eye level come down to us if you want to talk to us. insurance companies generally deny those wheelchairs that raise up.
• don’t ask if we have a license to drive the wheelchair you’re not the first person to think of that joke.
• it is perfectly acceptable to have your children come up to us, just don’t be rude about it.

Disability Limbo Newsletter

I started Letters from the Limbo as a way to connect with you on a deeper level. Twice a month, I send out an email filled with personal anecdotes, professional updates (like my recent reelection as Vice Chair of the NJCDD), and the policy insights I don’t share anywhere else. This isn’t just another email—it’s an unfiltered look at the life of a disability advocate. Join my community and get an exclusive, honest look at the work that matters
