Blog and Community Forum
OUR blog is written exclusively by Angel, who has faced challenges due to a disability since childhood. Angel will share her personal journey with disability, covering various aspects that may resonate with many individuals with disabilities, their families, and friends.
ANGEL is not alone in the challenges she has faced and continues to face; which has inspired her to eloquently and sometimes humorously document her experiences. Her blog aims not to diminish the seriousness of disability, but rather to bring a touch of lightness to each situation. Readers can gain insights, relate to, or simply enjoy Angel's unique perspective on disability and its challenges.
