During a birthday trip to California, Charity and her husband brought their friend, who uses a wheelchair, to experience Laguna Beach for the first time. His excitement was undeniable as he powered his scooter onto the sand and rocks, eager to take in the waves up close.

Then, just as he reached the edge, the tide rolled in, and suddenly, he was stuck on the rocks. Charity’s husband rushed to his side, helping him back to safety.

During our birthday trip to California, we brought our friend—who uses a wheelchair—for his very first visit to Laguna Beach. He was so excited to experience the ocean that he powered his scooter right onto the sand and rocks to get a closer look. Just as he reached the edge, the tide suddenly rolled in and he got stuck on the rocks! My husband rushed over to help him back to safety. The moment was a mix of thrill, panic, and pure joy—proof that he was truly living life to the fullest despite his disability.
