Beschreibung

My name is Judy Ellen Jensen, and I am the author of I'm an Overcomer. I am a vibrant, bubbly 76-year-old telling a personal story about being in a wheelchair since I was two. But, despite my disability, it hasn't stopped me from living a victorious independent life. I am passionate and sincerely desire to teach children how to treat and assist those who are wheelchair-bound and anyone with special needs. And how our faith in God can help us through our adversities, no matter what they are. My talents are not limited to teaching children, I introduce my furry companion, a cat named May May, who I taught to use the toilet!
