    About Cole & Charisma:
    Welcome to the official Roll with Cole & Charisma RUclips 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!

      You would be surprised at what you could do when God shows you whom he would have you with. I took care of my 1st husband, who had Spina Bifida. He lost his at 33 years old. Was it hard, absolutely, would I have changed it, absolutely not. I am now the recipient of a very living and caring husband. I am an above knee amputee. I also suffer from severe pain throughout my body 24/7/365. There are many days that I get it of bed. We were married for almost 3 yrs & 7 months when I lost my leg. He was also with me for 5 surgeries prior to amputation. I have had a total of 11 surgeries since we got married in June 2017. I have had a total of 13 surgeries for that same leg. 😢😢😢 When some asks him, how he does it with a "disabled" wife, he will tell you, "I did not marry her leg, I married her for her unconditional love she has for me & everyone she comes in contact with."

    Beautiful- I give them so much credit. This couple reminds me of my mom and dad. My father was a mute quadriplegic (due to complications from ALS) who could only move his big toe and was bed bound (he had a computer connected to his toe so he could communicate). The morning routines were always the longest with the bath, feeding, medicine, ventilator, etc. I recall that people often pitied them both - I always pitied the onlookers because they probably would never experience a genuine love like the two of them shared.

      @@Yazan26579 yes you're right physically he's in need of things, but you don't think he does things for her? Every relationship is about giving yourself to one another for support and love. I'm sure she wouldn't be there if it was a one way thing, and I'm sure she wouldn't be genuinely happy recording videos if he didn't do anything for her. They are clearly in love and just because they show you what she does for him, doesn't mean you can and he doesn't do his part for her. Love is love, its not about who does more its about being there for one another reguardless of "but I helped you more yesterday so I am better.." umm no. Its a team effort when you're in a relationship, not a competition. And him "relying" on her isnt somthing he made her do its somthing she has said in videos she wanted to do, instead of a nurse coming in. Because she loves him and doesn't mind being out the one she loves. Just like I'm sure he does for her!

I know I did. I never gave it any thought until when it became a part of my life two yrs ago. Not to this degree but enough to where I had to finally retire last year at 58 yrs old because of my condition from the field of healthcare Where I've been for 30 plus years.

      @@JamaicanRain You have literally no way of knowing that and absolutely no knowledge of their situation to try and be their internet doctor. WAY more likely than whatever class of obese you think they are is that they probably just wear jeans that are too small. A lot of people feel ashamed of their size and buy clothes that are too small in an effort to motivate themselves to lose weight or out of denial. When you are larger the differences in body shape become more prominent as well so what fits one person at size 18 might not fit another that also usually wears size 18.

And stuck in a loop of stories he has made up about his life. The latter part nobody really understands. He is rotting in that chair mostly because he is lonely. Who wants their mom and sister washing and feeding and clothing them??? Our grandmother died within a week of his accident and his girlfriend immediately cheated on him and left while he was still in hospital. I wish I could help him.

    Some of the biggest problems in couple relationships are the lack of communication, respect, intimacy and sex. And, these can cause a divorce or breakups. And, Cole gives her Charisma ALL THIS AND MUCH MORE than a lot of able bodied men give to their partners. These are some of the things that make a relationship healthy and happy. Cole is a real man regardless of some limitations he may encounter. Because, communication, respect, intimacy and sex does not have to do with having an able body or not. It has to do with love, determination, willingness, desire and cherishing your relationship. YOU ROCK COLE!!! YOU ROCK CHARISMA!!! Keep it sexy always! Hugs and blessings!!!💥💥💥🔥🔥🔥🎉🎊🎉🎊🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

    You are amazing Cole - the adaptive jeans are something I could have done with 14 years ago ! I was in a wheelchair for a year following a car accident and relied on my husband for bathing, toileting and dressing, rolling in bed etc. I was not paralysed but had multiple bone breaks and muscle, soft tissue injuries. I had a fantastic occupational therapist who helped me gain independence with different tools and strategies and my injuries healed and my ability to do things for myself improved. While I’m mostly able bodied these days, I still walk with a stick and use some of the tools the OT provided that help me get things done. There are still days when I sometimes need help to get my pants or shoes on and I am so thankful to have a supportive partner who is there to help me when I need him.

    Wow they have come such along way in technology my father became wheelchair able back in 1994. He used pull bars and a plastic shower chair.
    that we had to transition him into.
    If anyone remembers these chairs then they know how unstable and unsafe they were.
    Truly remarkable.
    Your bond is beautiful.

      Such a person? That's a bit of an odd thing to say. Do you mean a person with a disability? Cole seems like a really great guy, why wouldn't she enjoy being with him.

    I appreciate you guys sharing this aspect of your lives! It must not be easy to share such private and intimate details of your daily routines, but these videos are great educational tools.

    Hello Guys,
    Great to see you two doing well. I am encouraged by you two. To see someone else on the better health journey helps me. I love the way you all have figured out how to get your shower, shaved, dressed and breakfast with a little help from Charisma. Charisma you are Boss Wife no doubt about it. I love you two!!! Keep loving and respecting each other you make a great team.
    💚💚💚😍😍

    Queen you are an angel. Not everyone can do what you doing it takes a good person and someone with patients.

    Loved watching the morning routine! Sophie is something else, waiting for her morning kiss...😁 The multi tasking is a great idea Charisma, allowing you to get the morning going, and wow...you did a wonderful job as Cole's barber. Cole, putting your jeans on looks like a lot of work, but you did it!! 👍👍 Lemon 🍋 squeezie. Lol...Have a blessed and productive week!

    I fell in love with using frozen berries for my smoothies. Natural sweetener + antioxidants! Thanks for sharing your routine - I've never seen that kind of sliding shower chair! So cool!

    Hello! My wife had a horrific auto accident this past August and I found you on you tube and have been watching all your videos and they are so inspiring thank you for doing them. On one of the videos you showed a morning routine and your shower chair slide on a track into a tub/shower. I was wondering where you got that system from. I hope to hear back - thank you and God Bless you both!
