Empowering Lives: A YouTube Channel by a Power Wheelchair User
ONLINE RESOURCES
When everything becomes complicated
Several years of my career as an occupational therapist, I have had the privilege of working closely with individuals who newly rely on wheelchairs for mobility due to spinal cord injuries, strokes, brain injuries, or amputations. Much of my work involved helping these individuals relearn essential daily activities such as getting dressed, showering, using the bathroom, and transferring in and out of bed. This experience has given me a deep appreciation for the extra effort that goes into their daily routines, whether it's just getting out of bed for a cup of coffee or in this man's case, going out to take care of his homestead in his power wheelchair.
Not your standard homesteading YouTube channel
Okay, I can't really say a standard channel, because all of them are different! But this one is pretty unique! I was introduced to a remarkable YouTube channel by a man who uses a power wheelchair to navigate his homestead, after briefly connecting with him online through an Abundance+ membership. His channel is a treasure trove of practical advice, inspiring stories, and unique insights into living life to the fullest with different abilities. I wanted to share this incredible resource with you, as it offers valuable lessons and a fresh perspective.
Thunderstick Homestead & Ministry
Whether you use a wheelchair, know someone who does, or have any sort of barrier to homesteading and want a fresh outlook, check out his content. He currently has 734 subscribers, so he's not up there in the thousands as many of the other channels I follow, but that obviously doesn't take away from the quality of his authentic content.
