At just five years old, Suhrab Zarifi’s life was forever changed when a bomb blast in war-torn Afghanistan left him paralyzed. What could have been a story of loss became a story of unbreakable spirit. In this moving episode of Walk and Roll Live – Disability Stories, hosts Doug Vincent and Addie Rich sit down with Suhrab to reflect on his childhood, the challenges of growing up with a disability in Afghanistan, and the incredible resilience that carried him through decades of struggle and hope.
Suhrab shares what it was like to rebuild his life from the ruins of conflict, the love and support that kept him moving forward, and the message of courage he hopes will reach others living with disability or trauma. His story is a reminder that even in the darkest circumstances, the human spirit can roll forward with strength, faith, and grace. Walk and Roll Live
