Lisa “Learned So Much” With Distance Computer Comfort

When Lisa was 23, she was in car accident that left her a C6, C7 incomplete quadriplegic. She has been using a wheelchair ever since. Now having just turned 60, she’s raised two grown kids with her “wonderful husband,” and has since re-gained the strength to drive and do most of the cooking and cleaning in her house. Lisa loves her life.

“With an injury, there’s going to be huge changes, but life does carry on,” says Sonja. “When I introduce people to the BC SCI Network, I know their social circles will broaden, they’ll have access to assistance, and they’ll experience opportunities that can change their lives. Everything, from the big, exciting things like sports, to the small, subtle things that can transform your day-to-day life.”
