About Cole & Charisma:
Welcome to the official Roll with Cole & Charisma RU-vid channel! Since the start of our relationship we've
gotten a lot of questions about our experiences as not only an interracial couple, but an interabled one as well. On this channel you can catch us doing travel and adventure vlogs, challenges, our inclusion series, couple first times, music, and so much more! We started this vlog to bring people into our lives, to answer some questions about how we navigate the world, and hopefully raise awareness surrounding accessibility and dating in a wheelchair. You'll quickly see in our episodes that we're all about inclusion and keeping a great attitude no matter your circumstances, so if that's what you're into, you're in the right place!

My now 32 year old son Greg, had brain surgery 28 years ago today. Cole favors my son so much, they could pass for brothers. My son was expected to have some degree of paralysis from the surgery. Due to his mild cerebral palsy. It has'nt stopped my son, from earning his level 4 1st degree Black Belt in Taekwondo. Other than some fine motor deficits, he has done well. Cole doesn't know it, but he is one of my heros. Like my own son, Cole hasn't let physical limitations define him. My son is also in a interracial relationship. His girlfriend of three years is a Microbiologist and teaches online courses at NYU. It is my prayer that Sharon or as my son calls her Shar, will become my daughter in law one day. She has that something special like Charisma. Those kind of ladies are mighty special gifts from God. 💙

My brother is a paramedic and a fire captain who just recently retired. I can’t even tell you what he did for my dad in his final days of his life with regard to caring for him. He such an amazing man and had a wonderful career. It’s funny when I was listening to this paramedic firefighter that saved Cole. He sounded just like my brother. “It’s the greatest job in the world“ “apply everywhere“. I’ve heard my brother say the same things.

@kathyglover8319 4 года назад

My younger brother is former military certified EMT and now going into nursing. As a physician, I have a strong admiration for the bravery of the first line responders (EMT/paramedics, police, firefighters) because they consciously risk their lives and use critical fast acting skills to save lives.

Cole, I know you thank God and everyone that help you that day. But, that day God had a plan for you and this is part of the plan to help people to understand what goes on with people who has spinal injuries. Also, You and Charisma did great with Sheltering Arms. GREAT JOB...

My brother was 17 when he became a quad. vehicle rollover. He went camping with dad and cousins. His girlfriend was trying to call but he could reception do he took my dad's keys to drive up the road a ways to call her. He went about 3 miles and hit a mound of dirt left from a road repair company. The SUV rolled 6 times and he flew out on the 4th..the 5 roll crushed him. The first thing he remembered was a young girl over him telling him that help is on the way... it was 1am ..she was on her porch at a cabin talking on he phone when she seen the vehicle fly through trees. She was the first person to him. He said he could see her on a cell phone and he could see his foot next to his face ..he thought it was his shoe.. the roll had folded him up. 😣 the tow truck people stole his wallet and all the CD's...also his watch. He broke his neck, bit off his tongue, severe facial fractures, broken collar and shoulder blades. He lived for another 11 years. He passed away 6-16-2016. We miss him everyday and I just wished he could have had the outcome Cole has. He didn't handle the accident well. 2 data after the accident his girlfriend discovered she was pregnant!!! So I did get a niece from my brother.
