Reverend Nica Eaton
Living In Another’s Shoes
When Rev. Nica broke both her feet last spring, she had the opportunity to experience the world from a wheelchair with severely restricted mobility. Today we explore what it’s like to deal with accessibility issues and experience life with mobility challenges. Join us to live in another’s shoes for a moment and open our hearts to the challenges many of us face at different times during our lives.
