It’s certainly a difficult life for our handicapped Filipino brothers and sisters. Due to their handicap, many persons with disabilities (PWD) have a tough time looking a job and are forced to beg in the streets. We’re sure you’ve seen a few blind people before. Some of them are either on the streets begging for alms or praying for blessings at church. However, this blind man isn’t about to let his condition hold him down.
Netizens were inspired after seeing a viral Facebook post by netizen Sherena Lee, about a certain blind man who sold magazines on the street. His name was Uncle Loke and he didn’t allow his blindness to impair his ability to work.

Ms. Sherena Lee captioned her post with the following:
“Met this fighter just now.. He was walking alone slowly without a leader, touching the cars parked by the roadside to ensure he didn’t stray into the traffic. Uncle Loke is a blind man but he was not going around asking for alms nor was he calling out to people to help him. Being the fighter that he is, he was selling the magazines in his sling bag instead. He was so happy when we bought all his magazines and told us that he can now rest for the day. We decided to bring him to a place nearby to have a drink and a bite. All the while, he refused us to belanja him insisting what we did was enough.

We resisted though and bought him some food before leaving him to wait for his other OKU friend. What happened next really hit us. The first thing he did when we left and closed the glass door was to reach out for the food on the table. He must’ve been hungry but didn’t want to show it to us. He is after all a fighter! Thank you Uncle Loke for reminding us to – Be a fighter. No matter how hard life is, we need to stay positive and keep on moving. – Be thankful with what we have. Sharing is caring!”
