Impairment
A traffic accident in 2010 resulted in an impairment to his left leg. "Another life began. It was very different until then - I installed and repaired elevators. From that night on, my whole life changed. I had to relearn how to do things I used to do. For five years I was depressed. I didn't accept that I had to use crutches and a wheelchair."
