"Ngaphandle kwamathandabuzo khange kubekho ndawo zininzi zokuhlala," utshilo.

Ukusukela ekuthwesweni isidanga ngo-2014, uDenning ebehlala e-Austin, eTexas emva koko eWest Lafayette, Ind., Indawo awayeye kuyo kwinkqubo yokulinga ebizwa ngokuba yi-Ready Flight kwiKholeji yePurdue ngo-2016.

“Bendihlala ndikwimeko yokufumana iphepha-mvume lokuqhuba njengenkqubo. Inika abantu abakhubazekileyo ithuba lokufumana ilayisensi yabo yokuqhuba kwiiveki ezintandathu. Kwakungama-24/7 nje, amaxesha amabini kunokwenzeka kathathu ngemini ehamba ngenqwelomoya. … Besikwimeko yokuba sikwenze kwinyanga ezimbini, ”utshilo uDenning. Ndibhabha iinqwelomoya, kodwa ngokuqinisekileyo lolonwabo olongezelelekileyo. ”

Ngo-2017, wabuyela e-Oregon kwaye waqala ukuya e-Oregon State College eCorvallis. Ngelixa phaya, ubandakanyeke kwezona zinto ziphambili kulawulo lwangaphandle lolonwabo, kunye nomntwana kwimithombo emsulwa nolawulo.

“Bendihlala ndingabo kwaye ke babengafikeleleki kum. Kwaye ndiyithiyile le micimbi mihle ikude - ndifuna ukungeniswa kuyo kwaye ndifuna ukungqongwa ziintaba namathafa, ihlathi kunye nendawo nganye, utshilo. “Ndifumanise ukuba, ngaphandle, yeyona nto inyangayo emhlabeni. Ndibuye kodwa kuye nabani na ongakwaziyo ukusebenza ongahambisaniyo okanye ongathandiyo ngaphandle, kwaye sifuna nje ukuba olo fikelelo kunye nolunye uhlobo lube ngaphandle. ”

Ngo-2017 kunokuba xa wadibana noNelson ngokubambisana.

“USarah uphandle. Ngelo xesha, besingenakho ukuba nobungcali omnye nomnye ngaloo ndlela yokuba ngaphandle sibambisene, kuba kunzima kum ukuba ndibengaphandle xa ndihleli kwisitulo sam semihla ngemihla, utshilo uDenning .

Indlela ababini abakwimeko yokufumanisa ngayo ngaphandle kukuqasha izixhobo kwiindawo ezinjengeMidlalo yeOregon yeAdaptive Sports eBend.

"Bendihlala ndithetha nale ndoda kancinci, ndibuza ukuba zininzi kangakanani na ezi zinto kwaye umgama ongakanani onokufikelela kuwo? Yonke loo nto, kunye nangaphandle koncedo lombane. "

Ngelo xesha, uDenning noNelson baqonda {ukuba} ibhayisekile yokuqala iqala kwi- $ 7,650. Kwi-2019, bacwangcisa iGoFundMe yokuphakamisa i-8,000 yeedola.

"Ngokusebenza kwam ukwandisa imali kulo mjikelo wesandla, ndiza kuba nethuba lokufumana iincopho zeentaba zeCascade, ndibhabhe iintlanzi kwimilambo nakwimilambo, ukongeza kuhambo lwazo zonke iiPaki zikaZwelonke," utshilo uDenning. iphepha lewebhu.

Emva kweenyanga ezintathu, usapho kunye nabahlobo bakhe babeqokelele ikota embalwa yemali.

Amaxabiso afikelela kwi-5-6 yeedola eyongezelelweyo, nangona kunjalo izibonelelo zibalulekile. Oku kunokuba sisiqwenga setrevor aza kusisebenzisa phantse yonke imihla, esikolweni, emsebenzini kunye nokudlala, kwaye ndaziva ndicinga ukuba ukuba besizakuyenza, sifuna ukuyenza ngokufanelekileyo nangokufanelekileyo. ”

UDenning wathi ukunceda kwakhe kuyamangalisa.

Inyaniso, Khange ndicinge nokumbuza okanye into enjalo. Ndithetha ukuba, wandenzela amaqashiso kwakhona ngo-2012, kwaye andinakumbuza oku, ”utshilo.

Nangona kunjalo isivumelwano sifezekisiwe. UWobbe uye wathetha nabarhwebi beThe Good Deed Venture kwaye ke bazimisele ukuxhasa ngemali intsalela yebhayisekile, besebenzisa ubungakanani beDenning ebeyinyuse njengemali eyimbewu.

"I-12,000 yeedola eseleyo yonyuswe nje-yakhathalelwa," utshilo uDenning.

Inkqubo yokwakha yathatha malunga neenyanga ezi-4 ukusuka ekuqaleni ukuya esiphelweni, nge-ReActive Diversification, ikakhulu esekwe eCrested Butte, eColo., Esebenza kwangoko neDenning ukuze ikulungiselele kwiimfuno zomzimba wakhe.

Bacelile, 'Ithini incopho yakho, ubunzima bakho, ubungakanani bengalo yakho, ubungakanani be ft yakho kunye nobukhulu behip?' Utshilo. “Kwakungeyonto ilula, 'Heyi, ndingu-6-unyawo-4 kwaye ndinobunzima obuli-175 yeekhilogremu,' - yayiyinto eninzi kakhulu 'ukuya ku-T' ngale bhayisekile ingakumbi eyenzelwe umzimba wam. … Ndiyathetha, ibhayisekile iyandilinganisa ngokupheleleyo. ”

Oku kunceda umkhweli ukuba abone umhlaba ukuba uye phambili ngokulula, kwaye abe nesibonelelo sobunzima bomzimba ngaphezulu kwe crank ebekelwe amandla ongezelelweyo. Uboniso lokuqala yinto enye, uluhlu lweempahla, isiphatho sebhayisekile yentaba. … I-steering yesibini igqityiwe ngephedi. ”

Ikwanoncedo lombane, imoto yeTong Sheng TSDZ2 750w yokujonga imoto ene-850c Shade Show kunye neJumbo Shark Battery efakwe eSalt Lake Metropolis, eUtah.

Wafumana ibhayisekile egqityiweyo ngoNovemba. Yonke le nto ithelekisiwe ayisindi, oko kuthetha ukuba uDenning angayidlulisela ngokwakhe kwaye uNelson angayiqhuba ukuba ufuna uncedo. Yongeza ngokuza ne- {siko} hitch ukunxibelelana kwakhona nee-autos, ezinokuhanjiswa ngokulula ukwandisa ukungena kumboko.

Iindlela zimvumele ukuba ajonge i-handcycle entsha, atshintshe iisetingi, kwaye asebenzise noncedo lombane.

"Iingalo zam ziyakudinwa, kwaye kulungile kakhulu xa unokukwazi ukutyhala nje umcephe uhambe nje," utshilo uDenning.

UNelson ulubona uncedo njengenye yeendlela zokhuselo eziyimfuneko.

"Ivula amathemba amaninzi kunyuko nakwiindlela ukuba kunokwenzeka ungene kumhlaba othambekileyo, kwaye ukongeza kuphela kufana nokhuseleko," utshilo. “Kuthekani ukuba sihamba sinyuka intaba entlango kwaye yena azenzakalise? Ngaba ibhayisekile ayinakho ukusikhupha apho? Yayiyingcinga yam leyo, ngenxa yokuba engayithathi ingqalelo ukhuseleko nanini na. Kwaye ndinje, 'Ukuba ndinyuka intaba nawe kwaye ususa igxalaba lakho okanye enye into, akukho ngaphantsi kokufanele ukuyisebenzisa - okanye unyuke le nduli inkulu.' ”

Ngelixa kungenzelwanga ukuba kusetyenziswe yonke imihla-u-Denning wathi i-handcycle ibanzi kakhulu kwiindawo ezininzi-ivula iminyango emininzi kuye.

"Njengaye nabani na ongakwaziyo ukusebenza nongathanda ngaphandle, ndiziva ndifuna ukusebenzisa ilizwi lam kunye nezixhobo zam, umjikelo wesandla nayo yonke into endinokuyenza, ukufumana abantu abakhubazekileyo bangaphandle kwaye ndikhuthaze ukufikelela kwethu," kuchaziwe.

Abantu baqhele ukubuza, 'Ngaba uyakwazi ukuqhuba imoto?' Kwaye ndinje, 'Ewe, ndingazama oku. Kwaye ndiphapha iinqwelomoya. ' Ibiphakamile. Okoko ndathweswa isidanga kwisikolo samabanga aphakamileyo ndaza ndathenga ndangena ehlabathini, kuye kwakho iindlela ezininzi ezingenakubalwa kunye nabantu abamnandi endikhe ndadibana nabo. UFlorence waba sisiqalo esimangalisayo, nangona kunjalo ngaphandle kuye kwanethemba kwaye kwalunga. ”

Ngendlela yekholeji yr, uDenning uya kuphinda aqalise izifundo zakhe. Nangona kunjalo, ukuqala konyaka kuya kuthi kube kukufunda kude kwi-intanethi, okuvula amathuba amaninzi ohambo kunye nokukhwela kwindlela.
