A Few Words about This Website

When I was first thinking about creating a Web site? What would I do with one? In addition, while trying to come up with some ideas for it.

 

My first thoughts were to dedicate it in Loving Memory of my late wife Charlene Janus. She was struck by an automobile, and killed while walking across a street in July 1999.

 

My next thought was what other things I am going to do with a Web site. Maybe a Portal Sharing site, that provides informational, helpful and useful links to other resources and sources sites.

 

Because I am homebound with disabilities. I have accumulated good and helpful links in My Favorites folder that were very helpful to me over the years. I figured, maybe others would find them helpful and useful also?

 

Well, here are the results. I decided to share with others in the Disabled and Related Communities.

 

Now, that time has gone by since I created this site. I have started posting letters, emails, blogs and other Messages that I have written, sent, replies, etc. to other’s regarding disability issues for my informational needs and survival. Signed Petitions and taken polls. Even joined and formed groups. While taken actions for many causes.

 

I figured why not go another step further, and try to help others with disabilities using this site's resources? Since I have already started all the above things, I mentioned.

 

Well, here are the results - again. Now I am on a campaign with a mission. I have become an Online Disability Advocate and Activist, Fighting Voices for the Disabled, Sharing News and Resources.

 

Doing Daily Internet Activism for Supporting Causes of Change. While I am clicking my mouse, in my wheelchair, at home on the Internet using the World Wide Web and my little computer.

 

In my own little way, I am trying to help the Disabled and others with my Online Activism.

A Few Words about Me

I am Edward Janus. I have Cerebral Palsy, Deaf and I am a amputee (both legs) confined to a wheelchair and I had over ten surgeries on my Cervical Spinal Column (neck area) during my lifetime.

I have worked to earn a living for almost 25 years. Since 1996 I have been on permanent Social Security Disability. I receive and survive on only one household income monthly.


In 1999 My Wife was hit and killed by an automobile while walking across a street. I now Live Alone. We have a beautiful daughter, named Cheralyn.

All my activities and tasks are completed via Internet. I spend a large amount of my time on the computer running my household. Since, being Shut-In and Homebound. All my outside personal business is done through the Internet. Such things like my Banking, Bill Paying, Making Purchases, Filling out Business Forms and Documents, Writing E-mails and Letters. I even order groceries right to my front door.

 

I would contact people by telephone, but I am also deaf. I cannot hear very well on the phone. You can better reach me by E-mail or Regular Postal Mail.

Due to having Cerebral Palsy it’s difficult for me to type with a keyboard, and I am so slow too. So I use the Windows 'On-Screen Keyboard’ while using a mouse.

When I was forced into early permanent disability retirement. The computer has really became a Necessity, a Time Passer, and a Brain Occupier for me. And keeps me out-of-trouble. Well, sometimes.

A Few Words about Our Story

 

Dad, daughter seek hope after tragedy.

 

It is a telephone call that is easily a person’s worst nightmare.

 

On Saturday morning, July 3, 1999 Edward Janus was sitting with his 8-year-old daughter in his home waiting for his wife to return when his phone rang.
