    About Cole & Charisma:
    Welcome to the official Roll with Cole & Charisma UA-cam channel! Since the start of our relationship we've gotten a lot of questions about our experiences as not only an interracial couple, but an interabled one as well. On this channel you can catch us doing travel and adventure vlogs, challenges, our inclusion series, couple first times, music, and so much more! We started this vlog to bring people into our lives, to answer some questions about how we navigate the world, and hopefully raise awareness surrounding accessibility and dating in a wheelchair. You'll quickly see in our episodes that we're all about inclusion and keeping a great attitude no matter your circumstances, so if that's what you're into, you're in the right place!

    I really love the way she doesn't treat him like he's disabled. She's the right wife for him. That's the reason he's doing so much for himself now. I had tears in my eyes watching him do things for his self. Cole you are getting stronger and stronger. Please keep pushing him sweetie. God will continue bless you

He has said himself, “every quad is different”...how can you watch someone else’s video and judge that THIS person is not doing what he “could be doing” or that he should do more. That is an extremely judgemental statement to make and not kind at all.

    It’s so nice seeing charisma be so patient with cole. Some ppl might say “why not just do it for him he’s seems tired or looks exhausted” “it’ll be faster if she just does it” trust me my family does that to me and sometimes that can get frustrating because I can do it I just take a little longer or sometimes a lot longer. It gives cole more independence

      Yeah, I could see myself being one of those, “Let me just do it for you”. But, I do get that in the long run, it’s much better for him to do as much stuff himself as possible. It just is hard to watch someone you love struggle and your instinct is to want to make life as easy as you can for them.

      @@artprincessable His shoes rest on his wheelchair footrests, no need for shoes/feet to be on the ground for people who use wheelchairs. As a matter of fact, with people without any sensation on their feet, their feet on the ground could become very dangerous, wheels can become entangled with them.

    Hi Cole&Charisma, I have a suggestion.
    Cole said,”my handy dandy metal reacher can be kind of rough on my hand if I use it for awhile.”
    I was thinking if you could cover it with something it won’t be rough on your hand.
    For example if you go to a gym all equipments are made of metal but somehow they cover some area of them in order to be used for hrs without getting hurt.( places which your legs, feet ,hands or even whole your body in contact ).

    Hello Cole and Charisma. I just want to say that I really enjoy your videos and I get so much warmth and love and joy from the two of you. So I wanted to tell you guys something. I'm disabled and have a service dog he's been with me for 12 years. he was trained for a total of 2 years in the beginning so he is retiring soon. Cole you were working so hard. I was so amazed at your determination to get yourself in the bed on the bed taking your clothes off your shoes off socks off it took so much strength and perseverance. However a service dog that is trained properly can take your shoes off, can pull easily pull your socks right off your feet too. many things that you're probably not even thinking of right now I don't know. But that's why Sophie is there to assist you to make your life easier to be your best pal and devoted caregiver. Maybe you want to do it all yourself so I don't know. Maybe for you it's super important and that's cool too. I'm just saying my service dog is so awesome I'm so blessed to have been given this dog to go by the side of me and walk through life helping me. You guys have a great night or day whenever you read this if you read this. Merry Christmas and I'll see you in your next video
