Describe the challenge you want to address:

He is 81 and disabled. Lamont is prevented from doing a lot of things because he is in a wheelchair. He may not feel safe and feel bad about being disabled.

Describe your idea and approach to address the challenge:

Lamont and other older adults that have that challenge can try getting physical therapy or doing exercises to fix their back. The community or people close to them can help by teaching them that it's ok to be in a wheelchair and encouraging them to exercise.
