Two souls, both living with disability but also both living with courage, joy, and a fight the world often overlooks, shared a heartwarming moment of connection during a walk to Die Punt.
Die Punt, South Africa (09 December 2025) – Disability is simply a different journey. It was during a walk with his disabled dog, Pikkewyn, that Anton Siebert, the founder of Project Blessing, was reminded of this truth.
They had set out for a stroll to Die Punt in Mossel Bay. Pikkewyn, moving easily on her supportive little wheels, and Anton were enjoying the day.
“We just wanted fresh air, sunshine and a moment of freedom. But God had a bigger moment planned,” Anton reflected in a Facebook post.
It was there that he and Pikkewyn met a mother and her son, who was also navigating the world in a wheelchair due to spinal dysmorphia.
“When he saw Pikkewyn rolling towards him, his whole face lit up. She asked if he could take photos with Pikkewyn… and then he gently leaned over to cuddle her.”
Right there and then, something in Anton broke and healed at the same time. His heart rediscovered a beautiful truth from these two souls, both living with disability but also both living with courage, joy and a fight the world often overlooks.
“People think disability means ‘less’. But today I was reminded: disability is not weakness. Disability is a different kind of bravery. Disability is a story of strength written in a language not everyone understands.”
Fighting back tears, he realised that life is not about being perfect. It’s about being present. It’s about showing up with what you have, even if you roll instead of run.
“Today reminded me…Even on wheels, you can still move hearts.”
Anton thanked the boy and his incredible mom for touching his heart in a way he’ll never forget. And to his dear Pikkewyn, Anton thanked her for continuously showing the world every day that disability is not the end.
“It’s just a different journey.”
Anton further encouraged anyone who may be feeling knocked down not to give up.
“You might think you’re broken, but someone out there sees your strength and your light.”
