Life doesn’t always follow the path we imagined. Sometimes it takes an unexpected turn, introduces us to people who change everything, and teaches us that love, laughter, and resilience can make even the most challenging moments meaningful.
Welcome to Wheel Love — a place created by two normal (okay, somewhat normal) girls who found themselves living extraordinary lives alongside men who use wheelchairs and refuse to let them define who they are.
Here, we share the real stories behind life, love, relationships, and the SCI (spinal cord injury) lifestyle. Not the polished, picture-perfect version. The real one.
The beautiful moments. The difficult days. The awkward situations. The tiny victories. The adventures that don’t go according to plan. And, of course, the ridiculously funny moments that you simply have to laugh about.
Wheel Love is about seeing the person before the wheelchair. It’s about discovering what life really looks like when accessibility, independence, intimacy, friendship, and everyday challenges become part of your shared reality.
But most importantly, Wheel Love is a community.
A place where partners, friends, family members, wheelchair users, and anyone living a similar experience can feel understood. A place where you don’t have to explain every little thing because someone else has been there too.
Through our stories, videos, conversations, and experiences, we want to offer more than information. We want to create connection — a reminder that you are not alone, that your experiences matter, and that there is always room for laughter, hope, and love.
Whether you’re navigating a new relationship, adapting to life after spinal cord injury, supporting someone you love, or simply curious about the reality behind the wheels, you’re welcome here.
Come for the stories. Stay for the community. Laugh with us, learn with us, and share the ride.
Because life in a wheelchair isn’t the end of the story.
Sometimes, it’s where an entirely new story begins.

But, fall means Halloween, which means copious amounts of candy and trying to figure out what you are going to dress up as.

Everyone is entitled to their opinions and their feelings and we aren’t out […]
