Have you ever thought about what your life would be like if you woke up one day and couldn’t move your legs? With no hope in sight, Anthony was paralyzed from the waist down at the age of 22. Even with risky surgery and months of physical recovery, doctors were unsure of the outcome. Fear and despair set in. Introduced to many others who had endured their own battles of paralysis, Anthony became more determined than ever to stand again. He witnessed incredible human spirit from people who could not move more than their eyebrows. With the love of his family and friends, Anthony decided that it was not impossible.

Iron can be made into a very strong metal called steel. Some are said to have a steely resolve, a steely focus or steely determination.

It is one thing to endure such a physical disability but another to use it to help others. This man of steel continues to help others through his work with assisted living and home health care.
