A Determined Volunteer Gets Some Help for Herself
There are those who let a disability get them down. Then there is Luda Demikhovskaya.
"This is how I have learned to survive," she said the other day, smiling broadly from a motorized wheelchair and offering a bright blue business card to a visitor. "Lyudmita Demikhovskaya," the card says, "Disabled Activist."
"I have always volunteered," she said. "I help other people."
But even Ms. Demikhovskaya, 64 and seemingly indomitable, needs help from time to time.
