MY name is Leslie Tikotikoca, and I am a young man living with disability. I acquired my disability at the age of 13 years when I got into an accident, whereby my right leg was amputated. Growing up through the years, I have noticed how few opportunities and programs are accessible for us youths living with disabilities.
