I remember that day very well. I was explaining the reason why I built this accessory and I asked to Enrico Carloni: “Are you willing to do a test pretending to be me and to be in my condition?” He said yes, without hesitation and this struck me very much! I asked him to sit on the toilet bowl without my accessory and I showed him how to do it, then I asked him to do the same test but with the “For All Toilet Raiser” mounted... And we started to produce it together.
I chose it because I think it is the leading company in this sector, but especially because I believe that our collaboration gives a strong message of inclusion.
That's right. I strongly believe in the side openings: for those who cannot walk, they are the most practical solution to perform daily actions of intimate hygiene.
For the protection of the skin: sitting on rigid surfaces can lead to redness and pressure sores.
Since I have been in a wheelchair I have never wanted to set limits when traveling. Thanks to my accessory I was able to adapt it to any toilet (a fundamental environment to preserve our autonomy and intimacy). I created also different widths of brackets, to make the product more stable and secure.
I created NoLimits, in order to overcome disability-related limitations. I started by visiting some hospitals, presenting the product to who help and educate patients with spinal cord injury. It is thanks to their work if these people can reintegrate into a society which has to change a lot to be truly inclusive. I am trying to create a network of distributors.
Absolutely, there is a lot of work to be done. But together with Ponte Giulio we’ll do it. Now we are working to an innovative toilet… keep following us!
