Wesley Wilson »

Wesley completed his BS and MS in Agriculture from Southern Arkansas University after experiencing a spinal cord injury in high school. His newest mountain to conquer is employment. To be competitive, he needs some help. Wesley presently uses a mouth stick to type on an old computer. His injury makes it impossible for him to use his hands. We have already made it possible for Wes to exit and enter the house without assistance using an automatic door opener. He can also turn on and off the lights on his own, so he no longer has to wake his mom. This makes a big difference -- and thanks to everyone that donated to help make this a reality.

We still have some challenges. Wes needs a new laptop computer and software. We'll install speech recognition software and make it possible for Wes to control the computer even from bed. We continue to seek employment options. This is a tough problem. We'll keep working at it.

See Wes' other video on the power of community here. Wes also has written some great blogs published on our site. Enjoy!

Money needed to meet Wesley's goal: $1,490
