Meet Stacy Zoern a woman who was born with muscular atrophy. For her entire life she has needed a wheelchair and a lot of her other movements were very limited. Whenever she needed to drive to a destination, she always needed to depend on friends or family to get her around. Being handicapped makes life a lot more complicated for many like Stacy. Luckily technology is starting to catch up with the special needs these people deserve.
Stacy learned about a company called Kenguru, which makes special cars for people with wheelchairs. She was so excited that she was finally going to be able to drive around on her own and not have to rely on anybody. Then she got the bad news, that the company was going to have to close down due to limited funding.
She was devastated but that didn’t stop her. She had made her mind up and nothing was going to stop her from her dream of driving her own car and not relying on others. She showed incredible perseverance in the face of adversity and would not take no for an answer!
She decided there was absolutely no way she would give up. She found multiple investors, and started up her own company, which eventually merged with Kenguru, and the special cars stayed in production! The video below is her story, and it is a lesson to us all to never give up in the face of adversity.
