Linda Withrow Beats Odds To Move Toward Independence
Linda Withrow, a stroke survivor confined to a wheelchair, has steadily advanced toward independence since 1963. She now walks with a cane, handles daily tasks, cooks, cleans, and mops with help from improvised tools, while pursuing GED completion and employment goals. She attends the Day Living Center three days weekly and receives therapy from O Bleness Memorial Hospital and a private therapist. She remains active in the White House Conference for the Handicapped and aspires to work for a small company.
