MyGirl CONGRESSWOMAN DINA TITUS from Nevada. A strong, brilliant kind human being. I’m so happy we still have her in Congress.

The one and only amazing SENATOR Bob, Casey . what an amazing advocate for people with with Disabilities.

This picture always kind of cracks me up. I was coming back from Sen Reids breakfast breakfast and Senator Dean Heller was coming out of the elevator and stopped to give me a hug and he said “yeah I know you were going to see your other favorite senator from Nevada”. lol

Sen Mike Enzi Capitol Hill. Before he retired. One of the last good guys.

Senator Enzi Wyoming was a strong Republican leader. Always had time to meet with me to talk about the importance of Disabilities.I remember when he passed away after he retired. I sent a text to Sen Reid that he passed away. They were good friends. I miss these guys.

my amazing Harry Reid crew in Washington DC. Bob Herbert has since passed away. He was an amazing advocate for people with disabilities always putting up with me in saying “madonna could you give me a little more time to let the Senator know”. lol

Sometimes you get by with a little help from your friends

The American, Association of People with Disabilities in Washington and DC was started by some amazing folks like Ted Kennedy, Senior, Bob Dole and my beautiful friend Cheryl Sensenbrenner in this picture the other picture is with Ted Kennedy Junior from an AAPD event in Washington DC

my dad was born in 1926. He raised eight children. I was number six. In the early 70s he was a justice of peace in Golvonda Nevada. He talked to his 28 year-old daughter in a wheelchair to run for state assembly in 1994. I’m so thankful that after my accident I had my dad until he was 94.

My girl, the incredible Joyce Bender from Bender consulting.

My Hero Robert DeLucia Sr Vietnam veteran , owner accessible taxi companies. Totally fabulous human from Pittsburgh Pennsylvania.

My boys. Josh Tanner Mama “me” Tyler

One of the most thrilling parts of my life working on accessible taxis and that taxi behind us is the Mv1 the only accessible vehicle manufactured that way. This is with the DC taxi commissioner Ron Linton in Washington DC. I think this is 2013.

so did you know that riding the Amtrak is very accessible. I took the Amtrak last year from Salt Lake to Reno to go see my sister and all of my friends in Reno and guess what on my trip back this is my conductor. He happens to be one of my very best friends grandson. What a treat.#amtrak

an important part of being independent is having a seat at the table. The picture of me and Matt my friend at the ITAR conference in Florida earlier last year one of the greatest things I did I think was helping with advocacy for accessible taxis this is still a much needed conversation.

myself and Sarah and of course our office mascot Murphy. Sarah really is an amazing part of our durable medical equipment company were so happy to have her and of course Murphy keeps us all in line.

I decided to put up a lot of my pictures. This one is with Congressman, Patrick Kennedy and me at the NCIL conf in Washington DC. Patrick Dowd, Senator Ted Kennedy was getting an award that day for his tireless work for people with disabilities.#NCIL #DC

My girls. my daughterJulie and my son‘s girlfriend Stef. ❤️❤️

this is to my partner in crime Amy Malmgren. Amy would accompany me many times on Capitol Hill. She was such an amazing advocate and such an amazing Democrat. I know she’s up and having going “WTF Madonna” “I hear you Ames”.

friendship is a forever thing even when your friends have gone to heaven. My friend Cathy and I have been friends since 1979. She passed away last year.

RIP JOE. My friend Joe McKnight was an amazing advocate for people with disabilities through the Wheelchair industry. He passed away last week and all of us are going to miss his smile, his kindness, and that big cowboy hat, sleep easy cowboy.

we live in uncertain times. I seem to take great comfort sometimes thinking about my friend Harry Reid, who I replaced my profile picture with I will remember him saying to me in a text how proud he was of me for my strength. Be Strong America.
