    She's a joyful lady. Very pretty too. Having a loving and supportive family and community is a beautiful thing that far too many people are without. God bless and keep you, Heather. Sending smiley faces!

    Her perseverance is nothing short of miraculous and a catalyst for appreciating my own blessings. Unfortunately, we are all frailer than we think. It's a sobering reality that people are coping with such significant impairments, but it is a source of encouragement that she navigates through life despite her limitations. May God bless her with His grace, mercy, and protection throughout her life.
  • Kids can be so cruel? Why? I have five grandchildren, and they would never think to tease anyone that was less fortunate than them. In fact they welcomed them with their heart and want to be their friends. We have a zero tolerance for bullying in our family.

    How amazing! She's so lucky to be born in a developed country. As a colombiana, I imagine there must be many folk in Latin America who have these disabilities but don't get the help they need.

    It's fascinating to see how resourceful humans can be. Our species is very diverse and resilient throughout.

    This woman is so incredibly brave, I really admire and respect her so very much!!
  • This is very informative, thank you for sharing this story with us, it keeps us aware of how diverse we are in the world and how people with disabilities go about their lives. However, i think that this clip has excluded deaf people from watching especially given that it is about a person who is not only deaf but blind as well,it should have been more inclusive, like adding closed captions. I hope you have gotten more knowledge and are more inclusive now since the day of publication of this video.
  • quelle belle leçon de vie, bravo vous êtes tellement courageuse ! j"espère qu'on vous le dira !❤❤❤❤
  • @skatardrummer1
    It's awesome that she keeps pushing on and never gives up fighting to live and to get rights and more accessibility for other people dealing with the same struggles. I hope that globally our society can become more accessible for all people!
