Courtesy of good man 268YouTube subscribers on YouTube Channel’s Joshamancis Channel – Set to document his journey after diagnosed with osteoarthritis in 24 – tears do not see tears.
They also did not private the days he studied the more acute personal struggles, alone behind the closed doors.
After telling him loses the ability to walk at the age of 40, Joshuanette is determined to accept life, go to every native Antigua robbed 365 beaches in the Caribbean while he is still in Caribbean.
Continue to heal and smile at his videos and publicly, raised his private tear when he lost his job as a restaurant superbation – was followed by his own healing and his dream of building his own house.
Six years of Young Mother’s Sunny Person is the one he used to fight his public war: Champion of others with a disability in a country where the emptiness of short supply.
He made his strength in a pioneering non-profit he built in 2023, good people 268, trying for a bright future for people with physical challenges.
“Arthritis changes my life in good, I can imagine what it should be like a man with a great disability,” Joshua told the BBC.
Osteoarthritis, a degenerative joint pain causing pain and hardness, usually affects older people, but can strike at any age.
“I can’t believe it when I’m diagnosed. My biggest fear is, what happens to life now?” Joshupante said.
The good arrival of people who come from pushing for the construction of a similar tribunal of the right to lead a recycling program with disabilities.
The latter has been implemented by more than 80 local schools, moving about a million bottles and cans from the National Dump site. Eight people are hired to hire and process, and sometimes replaced, waste.
Courtesy of good man 268Good people also launched a country education program to encourage many recycled residents, a thing used in physisha Pucks to help.
He said working with the organization changed in life.
“There are a lot of people who have shortages there that no one turns to. Joshupanette makes me molded me a chance to apply for university and go,” Kelisha conquered.

“Changing begins with us. I wonder how much plastic we have moved from the landfill for a short time; think if everything is doing it,” he said.
There are some little victories too. As in the case of 10-year-old girls that many years cannot use the school toilet unaccounted due to a shortage of wheelchair-friendly facilities. That hostility continued unexpectedly until Joshamante brought it as a personal effort, carrying out to make a reusable bath.
“We have to move the way things do. People with disabilities need to do the same things with all,” says Joshuanetter. “I am very happy with my knowledge good people to achieve.”
Plans include rolling the recycling scheme in private homes and eventually creates a purpose constructed on purpose to consolidate different group work.
However, he knows the challenges ahead. Even a walk around the capital, St John’s, full of hazards for the mostly disabled, thanks to open canals, covered by channels covered and broken.
Gemma Handy“Access is a serious concern,” said Bernard Warner, head of the nation’s disability. “For a start, there is a lack of access to helpful devices to help people live more meaningful.”
Bernard’s group and good people call for legislation passed in 2017, trying to protect the rights of those with disabilities, to carry out. An equal tribunal of the right is a significant part of the work, but has not been done.
“There are many discrimination; people are treated indifferent or turned away from job opportunities,” says Bernard. “And because of poverty, most have no money to hire lawyers.”
Bernard lost his right thigh when his motorcycle was struck by a drunk driver in 1996. Despite a long court case, ruling his approval, he did not receive payment.
Gemma Handy“After many sufferings, now I rallied for a better society,” he explained. “We need to change our thinking how we look at people with disabilities. We leave them very long. Even now I see high-street buildings with no access,” he added.
Kelly Hedges, Principal in Center Center for children with special needs, agree. His school currently has 27 students aged five to 18.
“The challenge is, when students leave us as young adults, where do they go? People are still wary about hiring people with special needs or disabilities. Unless they have personal connections, they generally just stay home,” she says.
The Center Center is one of the schools participating in a good man’s recycling technique.
Gemma Handy“As good people can be more and more staff, may our children can be seed in positions there, can cause members of society and live better,” Kelly will live.
Joshuanette believes mental health should be a key study of disability awareness. In spite of most of his positive sight, he admitted the depression that spreads new when he was 30 and could not do his own house.
He continued to fight for the fee against the company he said unfairly.
“Fighting is tired,” he said. “But the change will only happen if many people talk about disability and change in need.”
