Wheelchair Costumes Turn Kids Into Superheroes
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 вер 2024
- One Halloween, Ryan Weimer’s then-3-year-old son wanted to dress up as a pirate. But his son, who has spinal muscular atrophy, is restricted to a wheelchair. So Ryan fashioned a homemade costume that incorporated the wheelchair as a pirate ship, and his son absolutely loved it. From that idea was born Magic Wheelchair-a global non-profit organization that creates custom wheelchair costumes for kids. In addition to bringing joy to the costumed kids and their families, Weimer says his designs can act as a “cure for the day” by liberating the kids from the stigma so often attached to wheelchairs.

When the dad talks about childhood diseases, you can really see how sad he looks.
BrownieBearYT yep. I thought I was the only one thinking.
When he started to cry I almost cried I haven't finished I paused when he started to cry to take a break

Clorox ...wut?
No ones Crying, it’s that stupid ninja again with his onions
DANM STOP CUTTING ONIONS BILLY!
Where both crying 😭😭😢😢
We need to find more ways to make everyone feel included and important and worth time and this is such a great way to do that. It seems so simple right? A costume. But it really isn't, I never realized how hard it might be to find a costume that is compatible with different conditions some people might have and I'm sure as a child that would be really disheartening to not participate in these things most people get to do without thinking about
Damn those cutting onions ninja!!
This man is a true super hero
This channel is amazing! I have faith in the world after watching some of these videos!
This man is doing a great job..... Giving wings to someone's dream..... All superheroes doesn't wear capes
"and we will have memories when they're gone" I never thought they would die thats what rlly hurts
I can’t understand why anyone would dislike this, it’s such a sad thing that there are disabled people but this makes it ok, this man is an inspiration
Made me cry in less than 3 minutes 💕👍

This is really nice people. The disabled people must’ve been really happy
god bless that superhero helping the disabled
I do like how they've expanded to comic cons and cosplay it'd be really need if some of these really good Instagram and UA-cam cosplayers could partner up with them and maybe even like dedicated events at comic cons would be cool.
If I wasn't already subscribed, this is the video that would make me subscribe.
Ok how can someone dislike this video. This is the purest essence of what great big story does and people that dislike this video are stupid.
Lord Nermal three words, you are one
Your son is lucky to have real life hero like you
Just beautiful, almost brought tears to my eyes :,)
That is a big contribution you people did for those kids really proud,hope you keep the good job love it,!!!!!
Respect for those builders

I am always torn when I see a kid in a wheelchair, I really want to give them a hug, but I don't know if that may break their bones.
