The Adversity Of Disability Woman Eloy Margo

This journey describes an important biography about a woman who faces adversity and turns it aside with grace and dignity - a singular role model for anyone with complex medical challenges to overcome.

The story tells about Wendy Wolf who entered an iron lung at the age of four and emerged a polio survivor and quadriplegic whose life illustrates the challenges of opportunity and acceptance people with disabilities face and the triumphs and successes this extraordinary woman achieved. After seven unsuccessful surgeries, she went on to earn three degrees, help hundreds of children through her work as a Speech Therapist in New York and Mexico, and Arizona, establish the first Independent Living Center in Arizona, create a unique introductory service for people with disabilities, raise two foreign-born special needs children largely as a single parent, advocate for many issues to improve the lives of people with disabilities, and become Ms. Wheelchair Arizona 2006 and, at the Ms. Wheelchair America 2007 Pageant, win the Nicki Arde award for her lifelong history of advocacy.

These are moments describing the often bleak reality of serious illness. In the struggling journey to improve the lives, the topic demonstrates two important lessons:
- When we need it most, help can originate from an astonishing array of unexpected sources.
- With perseverance and strength of character, we can reach for the stars and achieve results far beyond whatever limits we imagine we face.
