Ruby’s Journey
My name is Ruby and I was 5 months pregnant with my first child when I was involved in a motor vehicle accident that left me with a spinal cord injury, level t-12 complete, which basically means paralyzed from the waist down. Never in a million years did I imagine being a wheelchair user, let alone being a first-time mom in one. It was definitely a hard road to adapt to, I battled depression for several years. Social media was not a thing when I got injured so I had to figure out a lot of things on my own. Thankfully with the help of family and God, I was able to pull through. I later had 2 more kids and got married, all while being in a wheelchair. 14 years later and here I am living my best life, with a healthy lifestyle. Now that social media is within everyone’s reach, I like to share my story to spread awareness and help at least one person going through a tough time. I’ve been in a dark place. I know what it’s like, and if I can help that one person out I feel like my goal has been completed. “The greatest good is what we do for one another.” Mother Teresa
