Overcoming Obstacles

I was touched. I was moved. I was inspired. Words could not describe how I felt when I saw what Kyle did.

Kyle appeared on Extreme Homemakeover today. He is a special person. He is handicapped. He was born without hands and legs. Extreme Homemakeover invited him to take a look and experience the house they were making over for a family, within this family exists a few members who share the same challenges as Kyle. Of course, they went on to renovate and decorate the house according to the main objective of the show: To make the house habitable for the family. So Kyle went around the house trying out the facilities that we often take for granted.

Thereafter, a wrestling match was scheduled for Kyle ( a person without hands and legs ) and a huge man ( tall and strong and abled ). And Kyle won. My goodness, I was shocked. One can hardly imagine how he did it. He was agile despite his handicap and strong. He said that there are no excuses for not doing all that can be done to achieve his goal. Tears rolled down my face.

As the show went on, I found out that Susan Tom, the mother of 5 girls had adopted the children. She did not mind their handicap and went on to nurture them to be strong, positive and independent persons who also have dreams and aspirations.

THroughout the entire process, the family established and bonded with the design and building team and were grateful for the people who had lent a hand to make the dream come true. A three-storey house with an elevator and space for each person to cater to their interests.

It is just so amazing......
