Hello,
I am going to cut the preliminaries short. I have been involved with a very special girl for about a month or so, and she has inspired me beyond belief. Just about everything that you can think of that can go wrong in the human body, she has had or currently excperiences. To give you a few examples:
- She has osteoporosis, which means her bones break very easily, yet she is allergic to plaster of paris. This means that she often has to walk around with broken bones in her body, without being able to have it supported by a cast to help it grow back straight and ease pain.
- She is diabetic, and because of that (and the cyst she had in her head 5 or 6 years ago), she is totally blind for the last 5 years.
- She has kidney, heart and liver problems.
I believe you get the picture. If I say too much more, it would sound as if I am asking for donations! Hehehe.
With the background information out of the way (more can be provided to interested parties) I will start with the reason why I am writing this note.
I am trying to orchestrate a whole new living experience for disabled persons, with a focus on Information Technology. We have all the technology available, so why not refine it to be suitable for disabled people.
This project will start on a small scale, in other words, it will benefit only one person to start with (apart from the modules that result from this venture - these will be ploughed into Drupal should they be useful) but eventually, I want to expand to all disabled people in the world by establishing a stable supplier network, good software, and a supportive community.
