Furthermore, she recounted that his tenacity is a powerful reminder that adversity should be faced, head-on, a mindset we all should endeavour to embrace. 

Moreover, she quoted from the Bible, in 2 Chronicles 20:17, as she referred to Sammy. The bible verse read, “Take up your positions; stand firm and see the deliverance the Lord will give you, Judah and Jerusalem. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. Go out to face them tomorrow, and the Lord will be with you.”

Tuya affirmed that Sammy Bayo is living proof that our uniqueness is not a limitation but a strength. She asserted that by staying focused on our goals, we will not only succeed in the pursuit of our dreams, but we never know who we might inspire or whose life we might touch and change along the way.

“In witnessing Sammy’s journey, I am reminded once again that truly, disability is not inability,’’ she affirmed.

He further added, “At that time, it was hard for me because I never understood my purpose,” narrated Brayo.

Brayo had to depend on his legs to write and do various activities including ironing. The condition made him question God some time back.
