Story
One September day in 1955, Rita’s life changed forever when polio struck her family. She was five years old. Rita became totally paralyzed; her brother was partially affected, and she lost her mother to the virus. The hospital became her home, and the ward sister her mother. Hospital life was harsh in the 1950s: Crying was a punishable offence and meant solitary confinement. Rita struggled to walk again using leg callipers and a spinal brace, and later became mobile with the use of a wheelchair.

Story
Theresa Marafito, daughter of Irish immigrant parents, was born in 1933 in New York City, blind in one eye with partial vision in the other. She was a precocious child who wanted to appear “normal” to her peers and family, regardless of her disability. Her game was to be independent, not dependent, and would rarely ask for help. At 19, she graduated magna cum laude with two master’s degrees. Theresa and her husband, Jerry, who was also visually impaired, would build a house on a shoestring budget and had two daughters; one who was also born visually impaired.
