Living With Disabilities

05/12/2026

The host Katrina D. Smith can't believe her own eyes from the time. She actually spoke to Tylia L Flores-McWhorter through Facebook Messenger. Then it went from seeing her each Saturday through another virtual group. Called "Crip Chat" for people with disabilities and their parents and caregivers. We would meet up and talk about different topics on disabilities.

Crip Chat all began at the start of the pandemic and then slowly faded once the world opened back up. She, of course was heartbroken once there were no more Crip Chat meetups. As they always say all good things must come to an end; She will always cherish those moments. Including the friendships that she has gained through this group. This is where she actually learned more about the disability community. And she just didn't learn about it just from this group; Tylia L Flores-McWhorter has taught her some as well.

She was the one who told her about podcasting, and Katrina D. Smith took the idea and ran with it. Plus, share with her that if you want something done, you need to write to the government in having those things happen. Trust her; she has learned so much from this young lady that she wouldn't have known about.

Never underestimate the power of a person with a disability. And Tylia has shown that through Writing books. Including advocating for people with cerebral palsy. Now she has found a different way of advocating, and that is through the tools that God has given her.

She is now teaching a class, Adults with Disabilities Chaplaincy, through the Christian Leaders Institute. If this is your calling, come enroll and enjoy the class.

The host of Living With Disabilities, Katrina, won't be doing any interviewing at this time. She wants to let her viewers know that Interviewing individuals with disabilities is a voluntary job. And currently Living With Disabilities is on a long hiatus at this time due to her cat, whom she calls her son; he has not been feeling well. Which also explains the GoFundMe campaign page. Once he is back to better health, Living With Disabilities will return. He comes first. Since he can't take 100 percent care of himself, I, as his human mom, have to step in and help him.

What's going on? He received flea treatment, and because of that, he isn't feeling well. I have called and reached out to multiple resources. They cannot help me unless he is seen by the vet. This is where the GoFundMe page comes in. I even reached out to a vet, and they even suggested that I continue with the fundraiser page while at the same time telling me that it sounds like it's a parasite.
This is why you haven't seen or heard anything from me. In regard to Living With Disabilities.

If you want to help donate towards supporting Hamsa's vet bill, you can find his GoFundMe page on this page.

Hamsa was my comfort in tough times--- Now it's my turn to help him. This loving red-tail Siamese, who stood by myside through every challenge, now faces health struggles of his own. After battling fleas, he has started losing weight, and needs urgent veterinary care. The funds will go directly towards a full examination necessary treatments, and any medication he needs to regain his strength and joy. Every bit of support will help retore his playful spirit and bring him back to the vibrant cat I adore.
