Moving without mobility cane
The young man spoke on the importance of a mobility cane and shared a personal experience.
He recounted when he was dropped in the middle of the road, and people thought he wanted to kill himself.
He said:
“That day, while returning from my girlfriend’s place, a taxi driver dropped me in the middle of the road. I had no mobility cane with me, and people passing by didn’t realize I was blind and in danger. “They thought I was standing there to commit su*cide and thus were throwing expletives at me. I managed to move out of the danger zone by following the chatter around me, but not before a car tyre slightly ran over the heel of my left foot, resulting in an injury which I nursed for days.”See the post here
