A drawing made by his daughter Keryam made him change his perception about the disability. "In the drawing Keryam was the princess, her mother was the queen, and I was the king on a wheelchair. After that drawing I changed my attitude, my way of thinking that disability is not limiting." (elnuevodiario.com.do, 29 Jul 2019)
