Thanks Grab food for giving the handicap opportunity to work.👍👍👍

[@ManvenSingh]

Hope that grab-food will increase their earnings in the near future. As they trouble themselves to deliver food with love to people doorsteps.

[@alvinkuo]

While there are only 20 delivery workers in electric wheel chairs, perhaps Grab could continue improving the platform to help them by giving them orders that are nearer to pick and deliver. A short term solution would be to tag them as GrabWalker.

[@justinmaxwell5143]

Don’t call them handicap

[@tippersimracing6070]

Handicap is the incorrect term to use.

[@giddygirl1234]

what you are implicitly implying is that grab food are doing good deed for employing people like as. however that was what we did to women in the 1950s, companies that hired women were being praise for being progressive and now this ideology continues to affect the disabled community and the lgbtq+ community. we deserve equal opportunities, it is not a privilege but rather a right.

Even with her disabilities, she still wants to work and it gives her so much pride. When some people can't even bother to look for a job or a apply for a job, they don't realize that some people will do anything to have a job. Disabled or not. Mad respect for this lady and her friend, such great inspiration.

[@jiarui1312]

Thanks for covering this story, it got me emotional after watching but thanks grab for making this all possible, disability doesn’t hinder what you cannot do is just what u can do within your means! 💪🏻

It was so heartbreaking that she kept asking her dad for the opportunity to go to school. This is such a highly motivated and inspiring individual < 3

They both have my heart, their determination and strong will is so inspiring really. And I’m glad there’re companies like Grab who’re providing employment to special cases. I hope more and more companies become this open. Man I wish I can have enough money & power that I can provide them with employment myself!
