Black-and-white photo of a young child wearing leg braces and using crutches, standing in front of a mirror and looking at their reflection. Overlaid text reads: “I’m a 1953 survivor of polio. I was three years old. I spent a month in the hospital and could only see my parents from a screen door. I have one leg half the size of the other leg, as a result.” The quote is attributed to David.
“Don’t let this disease start again.”
David survived polio in 1953 at 3 years old.
He spent a month in the hospital and could only see his parents through a screen door. The disease left one of his legs half the size of the other.
