#whynothelpme?

I was in a wheelchair a few years back, and I decided (stupid idea I know) That I would go to my friends house my myself. I put my crutches on my lap and headed out. It went really well until the way home. I was going along on the sidewalk when I hit a ledge in the sidewalk about 2 inches high. I could not for the life of me wheel over it. So I got up with my crutches and struggled to lift the thing over the ledge while not putting any weight on my lad leg. Needless to say I was obviously struggling. And sadly out of the five or ten people that passed me wither it be in a car or the other side of the sidewalk none of them helped, offered to help, or even acknowledged my existence. One of them was even a police officer... I would have probably declined the help if it was offered, but come on people, help your fellow man out a little bit.
