I want to know are there any jobs for someone like me who paralyzed from chest down. I want to do something and get paid for it so I don't have to depend on anyone else for my living cost. Do you know anything about jobs that I can do it from my home through internet? or do you know anyone that I can talk to? or do you know any forum that discuss about it?
By the way, what do you do everyday? do you have any job? how do you get money for yourself? I hope my English is good enough so you can understand what I'm talking about.
