The fifteen individuals featured in this narrative never imagined that their struggles would be documented. As they endured their personal battles, thoughts of facing the future and seeking acceptance consumed them. Yet, they emerged as extraordinary human beings, sharing their remarkable stories through the lens of Henry Viscardi, Jr., who uniquely captures their experiences and triumphs. This account reveals the raw and often unglamorous journey of these individuals, who were once dismissed by society as “cripples.” Together, they overcame self-rejection, finding joy and laughter even in their darkest moments. Their tales reflect a profound sense of personal and professional victory. These individuals are part of Abilities, Inc., a groundbreaking company founded by the author, where severely disabled individuals find meaningful employment. Viscardi allows them to express their narratives in their own voices, showcasing a spectrum of emotions—anger, determination, humor, and tenderness. Their stories resonate with a courage that many can only dream of, illustrating the power of resilience and the human spirit.
