UCory Lee wayenendiza ayeyibambe esuka e-Atlanta iya eGoli. Futhi njengabahambi abaningi, uchithe usuku lonke ngaphambi kokulungiselela uhambo olukhulu - hhayi nje ukupakisha izikhwama zakhe, kepha futhi nokuyeka ukudla namanzi. Yindlela kuphela akwazi ngayo ukudlula kulolu hambo lwamahora ayi-17.

"Angisebenzisi nje indlu yokugezela endizeni - kuyindawo embi kakhulu yokundiza mina nabo bonke abanye abasebenzisi besihlalo sabakhubazekile," kusho uLee, one-spinal muscul atrophy kanye namabhulogi mayelana nokuhlangenwe nakho kwakhe kokuhamba emhlabeni ngesihlalo esinamasondo esinamandla eCrb Mahhala noCory Lee.

“Ngingasebenzisa isihlalo esiphakathi nendawo ukusuka esihlalweni sendiza siye egumbini lokugezela, kodwa bengizodinga umuntu engihamba naye endlini yangasese azongisiza futhi bekungeke kwenzeke ukuthi sobabili silingane endlini yangasese. Ngesikhathi ngifika eNingizimu Afrika, ngase ngikulungele ukuphuza amalitha amanzi. ”

Ukuthola ukuthi yini okufanele uyenze lapho imvelo ibiza indiza (noma ukuvimbela leyo kholi ngokuphelele) kumane nje kuyisiqalo salokho abahambi abakhubazekile abadinga ukucabanga ngakho.

Iningi lale planethi aliklanyelwanga ngezidingo zezinhlobo ezahlukene zomzimba noma zamakhono, futhi ukuzungeza kungashiya abahambi ezimweni eziyingozi nezilulazayo.

Kepha isinambuzane sokuhamba singaluma noma ngubani - futhi abasebenzisi bezihlalo zabakhubazekile bahamba ngezinselelo eziningi zokufeza isifiso sabo sokubona umhlaba, behlasela amakhilomitha amaningi nezitembu zepasipoti endleleni.

Nakhu ukuthi kunjani ukuhamba uma unokukhubazeka.

Uhambo oludonsayo

"Akuyona indawo okuyiwa kuyo, wuhambo," imantra eyintandokazi phakathi kwabahambi. Kepha lesi sicaphuno singasebenza nasengxenyeni enzima kunazo zonke yokuhamba nokukhubazeka.

Ukundiza, ikakhulukazi, kungadala ukucindezeleka ngokomzwelo nangokomzimba lapho usebenzisa isihlalo sabakhubazekile.

ULee uthi: “Ngizama ukufika okungenani emahoreni amathathu ngaphambi kohambo oluya kwamanye amazwe. “Kuthatha isikhashana ukudlula kwezokuphepha. Ngaso sonke isikhathi kufanele ngithole ukugcotshwa ngasese futhi badinga ukungiphendula ngesihlalo sami sabakhubazekile ukuze ngithole izinto. ”

Ukungena endizeni akuyona ipikinikini, futhi. Abahambi basebenza nabasebenzi besikhumulo sezindiza ukushintsha besuka esihlalweni sabo sabakhubazekile baya esihlalweni sokudlulisa ngaphambi kokugibela.

“Banamabhande akhethekile [okugcina uphephile esihlalweni sephaseji],” kusho uMarcela Maranon, owakhubazeka kusukela okhalweni kwehla futhi wanqunywa umlenze wangakwesokunxele ngenhla kwedolo ngemuva kwengozi yemoto. Manje ukhuthaza ukuhamba okufinyelelekayo ku-Instagram @TheJourneyofaBraveWoman wakhe.

“Abasebenzi bazosiza. Abanye balaba bantu baqeqeshwe kahle kakhulu, kepha abanye basafunda futhi abazi ukuthi izintambo ziya kuphi. Kufanele ubekezele ngempela, ”kwengeza yena.

Abahambi lapho-ke badinga ukusuka esihlalweni sokudlulisa baye esihlalweni sabo sendiza. Uma bengakwazi ukuzenzela bodwa, kungadingeka ukuthi bacele othile kubasebenzi bezindiza ukuba abasize bangene esihlalweni.

“Ngiye ngizizwe ngingabonakali noma ngingahlonishwa njengekhasimende, kodwa uma ngindiza, ngivame ukuzizwa nginjengengxenye yomthwalo, ngiboshelwa ezintweni ngiphonswe eceleni,” kusho uBrook McCall, umphathi wezokuvikela emazingeni aphansi I-United Spinal Association, eyaba yi-quadriplegic ngemuva kokuwa kuvulandi.

“Angazi ukuthi ngubani ozoba khona ozongisiza angiphakamise angisuse esihlalweni, futhi abajwayele ukungibeka kahle. Ngizizwa ngingaphephile njalo. ”

Ngaphandle kokukhathazeka ngokuphepha kwabo ngokomzimba, abahambi abakhubazekile basaba nokuthi izihlalo zabo ezinamasondo nezikuta (okumele zihlolwe esangweni) zizolinyazwa ngabasebenza ezindizeni.

Abahambi bavame ukuthatha izinyathelo ezengeziwe zokunciphisa ubungozi bokulimala ezihlalweni zabo, bazihlukanise zibe izingxenye ezincane, ukugoqa izingcezu ezibucayi, nokufaka imiyalelo eningiliziwe ukusiza amalungu abasebenzi ukuba bahambe futhi bagcine izihlalo zabo ezinamasondo ngokuphepha.

Kodwa lokho akwanele ngaso sonke isikhathi.

Embikweni wawo wokuqala ngqa wokuphathwa budedengu kwamadivayisi okuhamba, uMnyango Wezokuthutha wase-U.S. Uthole ukuthi izihlalo ezinamasondo ezingama-701 kanye nezithuthuthu zalimala noma zalahleka ngo-2018 kusukela ngoDisemba 4 kuya ku-31 - isilinganiso sama-25 ngosuku.

USylvia Longmire, ongumxhumanisi wezokuvakasha ofinyelelekayo ophila ne-multiple sclerosis (MS) futhi ubhala ngokuhamba ngesihlalo sabakhubazekile eSpin the Globe, ubuke ethukile evela ebhanoyini ngesikhathi isithuthuthu sakhe sonakaliswa ngabasebenzi abazama ukusilayisha endizeni esuka eFrankfurt iya ESlovenia.

“Bebelushova kanye namabhuleki kanti isondo langaphambili liphume erimu ngaphambi kokuthi balilayishe. Ngangikhathazeka sonke isikhathi. Bekungukuhamba ngendiza okubi kakhulu, ”usho kanje.

Umthetho we-Air Carrier Access Act udinga ukuthi izindiza zezindiza zikhokhele izindleko zokushintsha noma ukulungisa isihlalo esinamasondo esilahlekile, esonakele noma esonakele. Izindiza nazo kulindeleke ukuthi zinikeze izihlalo zababolekisi abahambi abangazisebenzisa okwamanje.

Kepha njengoba abasebenzisi abaningi besihlalo sabakhubazekile bethembela kwimishini yangokwezifiso, ukuhamba kwabo kungancishiswa kanzima ngenkathi isihlalo sabo sabakhubazekile silungiswa - okungahle konakalise iholide.

“Inkampani yezindiza yake yephula isondo lami ngendlela engalungiseki futhi kwadingeka ngilwe nayo kakhulu ukuze ngithole isinxephezelo. Kubathathe amasonto amabili ukungitholela isihlalo sombolekisi, esasingangeni ezingalweni zemoto yami futhi kwakudingeka siboshwe phansi. Kuthathe [inyanga] yonke ukuthola leli sondo, ”kusho uMcCall.

“Ngenhlanhla kwenzeke ngisekhaya, hhayi lapho ngiya khona. Kepha kuningi kakhulu indawo yokwenza ngcono. Ukuphula isihlalo sami esinamasondo kufana nokuphuka umlenze, ”kusho yena.

Ukuhlela yonke imininingwane yokugcina

Ukuhamba ngomqondo ovamile akuyona inketho kubantu abakhubazekile - kunokuhlukahluka okuningi kakhulu okufanele kubhekwe. Abasebenzisi abaningi besihlalo sabakhubazekile bathi badinga izinyanga ezi-6 kuya kweziyi-12 ukuhlela uhambo.

“Ukuhlela kuyinqubo enemininingwane ebabazekayo. Kuthatha amahora namahora namahora, ”kusho uLongmire, ovakashele amazwe angama-44 selokhu aqala ukusebenzisa isihlalo esinamasondo ngokugcwele. "Into yokuqala engiyenzayo lapho ngifuna ukuya kwenye indawo ngifunana nenkampani yezokuvakasha efinyeleleka lapho esebenza, kepha kungaba nzima ukuyithola."

Uma engathola inkampani yezokuvakasha efinyelelekayo, uLongmire uzosebenzisana nabasebenzi ukwenza amalungiselelo ezindawo zokuhlala ezihamba ngesihlalo sabakhubazekile, kanye nezinto zokuhamba kanye nalapho uya khona.

“Yize ngikwazi ukuzenzela amalungiselelo, kwesinye isikhathi kuhle ukunikela ngemali yami enkampanini ezonakekela konke, ngivele ngivele ngibe nesikhathi esimnandi,” kuchaza uLongmire.

Abahambi abakhubazekile abanakekela ukuhlelwa kohambo bebodwa, noma kunjalo, banomsebenzi wabo obekelwe bona. Enye yezindawo ezinkulu ezikhathazayo ukufaka indawo yokuhlala. Igama elithi "ukufinyeleleka" lingaba nezincazelo ezihlukile kusuka ehhotela kuya ehhotela nasezweni kuya ezweni.

“Ngesikhathi ngiqala ukuhambela izindawo ngashayela ihhotela eliseJalimane ngibuza ukuthi bakhona yini isihlalo esinamasondo.Bathe banekheshi, kodwa lokho kwaba ukuphela kwento - awekho amakamelo noma izindlu zangasese ezifinyelelekayo, yize iwebhusayithi ithi ihhotela lifinyeleleka ngokuphelele, ”kusho uLee.

Abahambi banamazinga ahlukene okuzimela kanye nezidingo ezithile ezivela egumbini lehhotela, futhi ngenxa yalokho, ukubona nje igumbi elibhalwe ukuthi "kufinyeleleka" kuwebhusayithi yehhotela akwanele ukuqinisekisa ukuthi lizohlangabezana nezidingo zabo ngqo.

Abantu bavame ukudinga ukufonela ihhotela ngaphambi kwesikhathi ukuze bacele imininingwane ecacisiwe, njengobubanzi beminyango, ukuphakama kwemibhede, nokuthi ngabe kuneshawa lokungena yini. Noma kunjalo, kusengadingeka badale ukuyekethisa.

UMcCall usebenzisa i-Hoyer lift lapho ehamba - ilifti enkulu eyimbiza eyomsiza ukuba asuke esihlalweni esinamasondo aye embhedeni.

“Iyashibilika ngaphansi kombhede, kodwa imibhede eminingi yamahhotela inamapulatifomu ngaphansi okwenza kube nzima impela. Mina nomsizi wami senza le ndlela exakile [ukuyenza isebenze], kodwa kuwubunzima obukhulu, ikakhulukazi uma umbhede uphakeme kakhulu, ”usho kanje.

Konke lokhu kuphazamiseka okuncane - kusuka emakamelweni entula imvula efinyelelekayo kuya emibhedeni ephakeme kakhulu - kungahle kunqotshwe, kepha futhi kungangeza kokuhlangenwe nakho okukhungathekisayo nokukhathazayo. Abahambi abakhubazekile bathi kuwufanele umzamo owengeziwe ukwenza izingcingo ngaphambili ukuze banciphise ukucindezeleka uma sebengenile.

Enye into abasebenzisi besihlalo sabakhubazekile abayicabangayo ngaphambi kokuthatha uhambo yizinto zokuhamba ezisemhlabathini. Umbuzo othi "Ngizosuka kanjani esikhumulweni sezindiza ngiye ehhotela?" imvamisa kudinga ukuhlela ngokucophelela amasonto ngaphambi kokufika.

“Ukuzulazula edolobheni kuhlala kuyinto engikhathazayo njalo. Ngizama ukwenza ucwaningo oluningi ngangokunokwenzeka futhi ngibheke izinkampani zokuhamba ezifinyeleleka endaweni. Kodwa uma ufika lapho futhi uzama ukubiza itekisi elifinyeleleka, uhlala uzibuze ukuthi izotholakala ngempela ngesikhathi oyidingayo nokuthi izoshesha kangakanani kuwe, ”kusho uLee.

Inhloso yokuhamba

Njengoba kunezithiyo eziningi ekuthathweni kohambo, kungokwemvelo ukuzibuza: Kungani uzihlupha ngokuhamba?

Ngokusobala, ukubona amasayithi adume kakhulu emhlabeni (amaningi awo atholakala kalula kubasebenzisi bezihlalo zabakhubazekile) kukhuthaza abantu abaningi ukuba bagxume endizeni ehamba ibanga elide.

Kepha kulaba bahambi, inhloso yokwehliswa komhlaba idlulela ngalé kokubona indawo - ibavumela ukuthi baxhumane nabantu abavela kwamanye amasiko ngendlela ejule kakhulu, evame ukukhuthazwa yisihlalo sabakhubazekile uqobo. Isibonelo: Iqembu labafundi basekolishi laya eLongmire ngesikhathi livakashele eSuzhou, eChina, liyoxoxa ngesihlalo salo ngomhumushi.

“Nginesihlalo se-badass ngempela futhi babecabanga ukuthi siyamangalisa. Enye intombazane yangitshela ukuthi ngiyiqhawe lakhe. Sithathe isithombe esikhulu seqembu sisonke futhi manje nginabangane abasha abahlanu abavela eChina ku-WeChat, inguqulo yezwe ye-WhatsApp, ”usho kanje.

“Konke lokhu kuxhumana okuhle bekumangalisa futhi bekungalindelekile. Kungiguqule kwaba yinto yokuthakazelisa nokuncoma, kunokuphikisana nabantu abangibuka njengomuntu okhubazekile okufanele adelelwe futhi ahlazeke, ”kwengeza uLongmire.

Futhi ngaphezu kwanoma yini, ukuhamba ngempumelelo emhlabeni ngesihlalo esinamasondo kunikeza abanye babahambi abakhubazekile umuzwa wokuzuza nokuzimela abangenakukuthola kwenye indawo.

“Ukuhamba kungivumele ukuba ngifunde okwengeziwe ngami,” kusho uMaranon. “Noma ngiphila nokukhubazeka, ngingaya lapho ngiyojabulela umhlaba futhi ngizinakekele. Kungenze ngaqina. ”
