Bridgeport is a seaport city in the U. My children have been raised to see the person, and not the disability, that they have. I would like for a life lesson that the world can refer to us as "people first" regardless the disability one has.
People with a disability and not disabled people…always put "people" first. See the person and not the disability! How do you feel now? How is life after the 'miracle' treatment and is there any message that you would like to share with others who are struggling with the same challenges that you faced but that you are also facing here today? I feel very grateful and life is wonderful for me and my family. Although health issue will continue to always be a big issue for me, I will deal with them each one at a time.

Make sure your parents are safe in their own home by following these tips. There is going to come a time when your parents need a little help to safely live in their home.
This is just an inevitable part of life. The goal is to keep your parents as comfortable as possible while also knowing that they will be safe when alone.
Luckily, it is fairly easy to make a few adjustments to the house that drastically improve its livability for seniors. These are the four things you must do to help your parents create a safe home as they age. Poor eyesight, reduced hearing, and imbalance put older individuals at risk of falling while moving around the house. Falling is actually the main cause for injured seniors. Since this is a dangerous problem, you need to remove all fall hazards from their house immediately.
Throw rugs, long cords, and old unused furniture all pose a huge risk. Make the house as open as possible.
Walking up stairs puts a lot of stress on older bodies. They have to use all of their strength just to go up a flight of stairs. There is also a major injury risk if they fall while using the stairs. Avoid all of these dangers by adding a stair lift in the house.
Stair lifts will safely go up and down the stairs whenever needed with absolutely no risk of injury. The slippery surfaces in the bathroom make it one of the most dangerous rooms in the house for your older parents. There are several changes you need to make to ensure they stay safe. Put rubber mats inside and outside of the tub to prevent slipping. Add grab bars in the shower and next to the toilet. It is also a good idea to lower the temperature on the water heater to stop accidental burns in the shower.
The best thing you can do to make sure your aging parents are safe in their home is by making regular visits to see them. In addition to spending valuable time with your family, you will also be able to access the house and your parent's well-being during these trips.

On top of that, his youthful nature is portrayed so exuberantly through social media. He showcases such vulnerability and relatability through his music and personality. Overall, he's definitely an artist to have on your radar. It's insane to me that he only has about 2,00 monthly listeners on Spotify.
He has a sound that would really thrive in today's music scene and I think he is extremely underrated. Definitely give them a listen! His lyrics and flow are so smooth and sounds like he's already an established artist. He could easily compete with rappers today. While his music discusses girls and drugs, he also uses his platform to advocate for human rights movements like BLM.
If you like rap, there is something for everyone with his work. This funky fresh group focuses on really catchy indie-pop songs. However, I definitely think they are on that track so I suggest you hop on the train now while they're still lesser-known. Their sound is really desirable so I can imagine it's only a matter of time before they blow up.
This singer-songwriter is extremely talented. Kate Stephenson's voice is delicate and aids in delivering her music in such a beautiful and heartfelt way. Her music is relatable and makes you want to listen to what she has to say. She also has an amazing way with words and I'm excited to see her grow as an artist!
