Paralysed nine-year-old dreams of walking again
Aug 14th, 2022 | Category: Special Reports | 4:30#JamaicaGleaner “I am feeling happy because I know that I am going to walk again.” Those heart-melting words were uttered with conviction on Thursday by nine-year-old Tamara Noble, moments after being informed that she would be getting assistance to undergo physical therapy to help her regain the use of her legs. The Cooper’s Pen, Trelawny native lost the ability to walk after sustaining serious injuries in a motor vehicle accident in February 2017. The promise of paid-for therapy was made less than a minute earlier by Carlene Coates-Russell, the founder of the Global Hands Foundation outreach organisation, who presented Tamara with a brand-new wheelchair during the group’s third annual mental health awareness seminar at the Bounty Hall New Testament Church of God in Bounty
