Thrown From the Holiday Train

Sorry...
Storyteller: Arwen Bird

Winter holiday 2008, I was forced off an excursion train because I use a wheelchair to get around. I created this digital story to heal from the incident, and provide an avenue for all to watch to connect with their WILL to help people with disabilities be with their families.  **Until I can upload the full video file here, please see the digital story at http://www.blip.tv/file/2596171/**
