This is entirely unacceptable and I hope this employee gets fired. What many people may not know is that many chairs are custom made for each specific user and can cost upwards of $4,000-$5,000. So to be this reckless and inconsiderate is inexcusable. LIKE this post if you agree and show support for those like me WHO NEED A WHEELCHAIR TO FUNCTION INDEPENDENTLY

People have told Nick his whole life that he won’t amount to anything. But God had different plans and I think Nick is doing just fine. In many ways I feel the same way. If you tell me my ideas are too bold I’m gonna work until I prove you wrong.

PSA: don’t park in handicap parking spots unless you have the tags for them, even if “its just for 5 minutes”. People like me will call the police and you will be ticketed a fine minimum $500. Don’t be that person.

Apartments for rent with wheelchair access vs without. Just one of the many ways people with disabilities are disadvantaged in this country. The apartments with wheelchair access are also on average $200 more per month. Tell me how this makes sense for a part of the population that is majority under the poverty line. LIKE AND SHARE IF YOU THINK THIS NEEDS TO CHANGE.
Why is it always…
He’d make a great employee… but his disability is a liability
He seems like a sweet guy… but he’s not what I visioned my husband being
His faith is very strong… but our church isn’t ready for a church leader who has a disability
His vitals are normal… but he has a birth defect and his chances of a quality life are slim so you should abort
He needs a new wheelchair… but has to pay several hundred dollars to get one in spite of him already being well under the poverty line
For a person with a disability the answer is rarely ever simply just yes.

Always question anyone who limits your abilities even if they’re medical professionals. I’ve had people all my life question my capabilities of being independent and only when I proved them wrong did they believe me.
