Yes I know someone who has a disability and she is 9 years old. This disability has affected her life because she has a diffcult time talking right and needs to have someone help her with things that she does. I know her because she is my friends sister. I have played with her with them and helped her when playing and she always is glad that you do that. A disability is something that he wish no one has but if they do you should help them and not stare at them just because they are different.

Wow im the first to post on disabilities!Many people have coquered over diabilities even the famous Ray Charles .He lived from his child hood to adulthood blind.The amazing thing is that people that needed things like hearing still did amazing things. Like beethoven who needed his hearing to compose music but didnt have it.People like him that dont let their disablity control them Are true heroes.

I do know someone with a disability. He is passed away from us, he was my cousin Joey Montezuma he died at the age of two. He had a heart problem and he was suppost to get a heart transplant the first in the world. It was too late though. He was recovering from the disorder and was going to get his transplant in a week but he was too weak and he died 24 hours later. At the funeral it was very large many people from the town came to visit Joey's little body in the casket. It's a shame how something can happen so quick like how domino's fall step by step. He was a fighter though he was expected to die at birth but he hung on a little longer and that is what's amazing.

I do know someone with a disability and he is very close to me. He is my dad- William John McPoyle II- and he is the one that inspires me to do what I want and succeed at. My father has a hard time with walking after a while because of his prosthetic leg. He lost his leg in an accident when he was about to turn 22. He was working as a bartender and had to drive someone home on his motorcycle and the guy was too drunk to drive. While they were driving the guy passed out and they crashed and he was sitting on the road in pain until a lady that worked for the Dover Post was driving to go to work late at night. She called an ambulance for him. If she wasn't there he would be dead now and I wouldn't be here! I love for who he is and I would never wish for him to change because that could affect the world and mostly our family.

in my family we have a couple disabilities. One difficulty is that my grandparents suffer from cancer which allows them to not have the accesibility. They are all cooped up in the hospital and they cant even get any fresh air. It affects them deeply because they cant even get out to play the sports that they enjoy so they dont have any time to hav fun anymorre
