C/4/5/6/7, March 1972

I am disabled since I was just a baby. Nothing in my case is really sure. At the time when my accident happened I got poor medical attention and actually I wasn't attended with the proper care due to many issues but especially because of ignorance/lack of an experienced Doctor. I am from Mexico City but now live in San Diego.

For my parents that is an unspoken subject due to the changes it had for them and their lifestyle. They have always done the best for me despite lack of money and other things. Though when the accident happened, they broke all pictures of me from the time I was a baby and had started to walk.

Exercises have helped me to recover some movement and sensibility in my body despite the damaged vertebrae.
