Mike – The Commuter in the Wheelchair
Background
Mike is a bit of a recluse. He rarely takes the effort to go outside, but has a unique perspective on one of the most densely populated places in the world. This is his story:

Dailey Life
Although Mike has lived in New York City for over 18 years, he rarely leaves his apartment. Many people think the city is well suited for someone confined to a wheelchair. Mike has found getting out and around in a crowded city, full of stairs, a difficult undertaking.
Despite not getting out much, he doesn’t hesitate to ask for help when needed. Living alone with a disability, he’s discovered the importance of asking for assistance.

His Perspective
Loneliness is quite ironic when you live in one of the biggest cities, constantly surrounded by people. Yet it is more common than expected. Mike’s experience highlights the interconnection between people, always willing to lend a quick helping hand, yet never connecting beyond a quick commute.

Mike’s connection to people, being willing to ask for help when needed, helps him find fulfillment in life. Yet staying inside his one bedroom apartment for the most part, leaves him satisfied with going it alone in most situations.
