Embrace people with disabilities like me and give them hope for a brighter future by making them apart of the society. Everyone has something to offer to make a brighter place to be.
The wheelchair heart symbol is to assist in educating people in the community that people with disabilities are just the same as everyone else and just they see wheelchair first. Most of the time people don’t see the person who is in wheelchair and they are frightened to interact with the person in the wheelchair because they don’t know how to act or talk. The aim for this symbol is to let everyone know to give individuals with disabilities a go in life to achieve and be inspirational to others.
I love the wheelchair heart symbol because it sends a message out that love people with disabilities for whom they are. I think that the person who designed the wheelchair heart symbol has done a great job to make it eye catching and draw people’s attention.
Society is so quick to judge. It is important to have a positive imagine to be able to break down the barracks and walls about people with disabilities. I believe that this wheelchair heart will create positive conversations about people with disabilities between people.
I have Cerebral Palsy and I am a computer artist in Tasmania, Australia. I have a high school friend who was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2012. I started cheering her up with posting my artwork on her Facebook wall throughout her breast cancer journey. I decided to create artwork about breast cancer to educate my friends about breast cancer on Facebook. Last year I took up the challenge of doing a fund raiser for the National Breast Cancer Foundation with my breast cancer artwork printed on calendars and cards for sale.
