30 years ago, I was a writer during the 1st Intifada and met a 10y old boy named Nizar who lost his arm, a foot, and a leg from an IDF bomb that hit his home in #Gaza. I'd wrote a lot of stories about injured kids in Palestine and wanted very much to do more than just write. 
I was in my early 20s and had just graduated from Kent State in Ohio, my hometown. I couldn't keep writing about injured kids and then do nothing to help them. A year earlier, I sent the first two injured kids (from Hebron) to Ohio for free care. He was also a triple amputee.
After Mansour returned home, I met Nizar in #Gaza. I thought I could do the same for him that I did for Mansour - get him new legs to walk again and maybe something more: A better life than a refugee camp in Gaza. I didn't really know what I was doing, but I did it anyway.

"My brother is typing this as I speak. I'm a triple amputee, lifelong Albertan in my 40s. Yesterday I had a med appointment on floor 3. Waiting for my elevator turn a man and his son came around the corner. The man said 'God - a f@cking cripple - turn away'.

"The finger pointing and name calling towards me and others like me has blownup over the past few years. Did Trump make people think its okay? Is Jason #KenneyMustGo and his MLAs continuing to make people think it is okay? I think so.
