Paralyzed by a shooting, he now helps others with disabilities take control of their lives
Wesley Hamilton remembers the moment nine years ago when his life changed forever.
On January 14, 2012, Hamilton got caught up in an altercation with a stranger outside an apartment complex. The man shot Hamilton twice in his abdomen.
When the bullets pierced his body, he thought he was going to die.
“I laid on that ground taking my last breaths, having regrets about life,” he said, “because it wasn’t until that moment that I realized I had never lived.”
Hamilton survived, suffering a spinal cord injury that left him paralyzed from the waist down. At 24, he became “a single father in a wheelchair,” he said adjusting to a new life faced with new challenges.
