Thank you
for visiting our site. Since 1987 everyday of my life is medically
related. Even during current video conferences from my bedside, I'm
constantly asked am I in a hospital. They must assume this because of
the bed I'm sleeping in and the medical supplies on top of my dresser,
they see a hospital room. When I tell them I'm paralyzed their moods
change to them feeling very sorry for me. Humanity having a bit of
compassion when the event calls for it, is good to know it still exist.
Throughout the years living with paralysis my life and the lives of
millions more may constantly have something medical happening but we are
more then medical. Although our bodies may not perform activities
according to what's normal, we've learned to adapt.
Summing up 23 years of paralysis and living life, learning to adapt and
going forward is how we invent the possibility. Through I Believe Inc,
we are working to help others within their lives and aspirations. We are
more then an everyday medical experience, we too despite our
disabilities pursue to be actors, athletes, artist, singers and what
ever we dream. Since working and partnering with Santina Muha who works
for the NSCIA, we have produced shows on New Jersey public access
television. Bringing awareness to the many lives we came across, we are
striving to continue to do more. Please help us by donating online or
sending in your donations by mail. All donations are Tax Deductible.
Thank you for coming by and if you have any questions please send.

As an advocate for the disable and lover of media, I find many different people who are aspiring and have dreams. Someone told me I was a well known advocate but I don't think so. Since rallying for Stem Cell and the Christopher and Dana Reeve Paraalysis Act, I made many friends. Friends that dreamed of being involved in something media related. We know how hard it is getting in to Hollywood and even for able body people it's not easy. Since the passing of Teddy Pendergrass have I heard an interview he did with Art Fennell . Seems that is usually when we may hear about others, during bad situations. Some thing Teddy said really made me think. Focusing on Quality of life and not sitting around twiddling our thumbs waiting. for anything. But to learn our current situations. It was an honor meeting him but at that time and still now I feel, my name isn't Hollywood enough for Hollywood collaborations.
Never the less, I continued to push on and create media to bring SCI awareness and continue to believe. At that same time I met Santina Muha http://www.spinalcord.org/news.php?dep=16&list=1280&page=128 , Ms Wheelchair NJ 2009. I started calling her Starr because she glitters whenever we work together.Santina Muha joined NSCIA as a Communications Associate in July 2006. She serves as a writer for Association publications, including SCILife, NSCIA e-news, and www.spinalcord.org. She also works with staff and vendors to coordinate overall design, content development and production for all NSCIA publications, advertising, public relations and promotional activities. Other aspiring people I worked with are Leroy Moore, Damon Roxier, THE DUKE and Marcus Cilvert.
Someone new to my X-Men/High Rollers Wheelchair Club is a young lady I met online.

Since traveling and funds are our biggest obstacles, for now I want to start by being a Promoter. With my nonprofit http://ibelieveinc.org/ I'm working on bringing awareness, helping others living with SCI and their Quality of Life and working together to fulfill our dreams. Please stop by the web site and help us accomplish these things for many others. In 2009 the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation awarded us with a Grant to continue our missions but we continue to strive to do more and continue to need funding. Thank you for being part of an amazing SCI community. I would like to hear from you.
