About Cole & Charisma:
Welcome to the official Roll with Cole & Charisma KZbin channel! Since the start of our relationship we've gotten a lot of questions about our experiences as not only an interracial couple, but an interabled one as well. On this channel you can catch us doing travel and adventure vlogs, challenges, our inclusion series, couple first times, music, and so much more! We started this vlog to bring people into our lives, to answer some questions about how we navigate the world, and hopefully raise awareness surrounding accessibility and dating in a wheelchair. You'll quickly see in our episodes that we're all about inclusion and keeping a great attitude no matter your circumstances, so if that's what you're into, you're in the right place!

[@coleandcharisma]

Seeing lots of questions abut why Sophie didn't alert Charisma when I had fallen over. Sophie is indeed trained to alert/retrieve Charisma, and has done so many, many times. In this instance the door was closed so she was unable to. We also don't encourage her to bark, as we are often in spaces with her where barking would be inappropriate (plus, if Charisma couldn't hear my yell, she couldn't have heard Sophie's bark). We don't want her scratching the door, either, for obvious reasons. Someone also asked if she would be able to help me right myself, and that is definitely something we've tried working with her on. The difficulty is that I'm simply a very large guy, and so righting me can prove difficult for even able-bodied humans, let alone a 50lb dog. Furthermore, without tricep function, it's challenging for me to push myself up off of her back. Sophie does a great job and, in this instance, there was nothing else for her to do. The main service she provides for me is picking things up off the ground, which she does like 50 times a day lol

[@melocoton48]

Thanks for the explanation. That was totally my question!!! Thank you for being informative and transparent.

[@lindasanders7071]

Thanks for this explanation. It answered all of my questions concerning this situation.

[@wheeln00]

Me, my wife, and our kids got a twisted/sick laugh out of you falling over and yelling for help. I've been there and done that many times. I'm also a quadriplegic who has flipped over backwards in the house, parking lot, and other places. Once I flipped over in a parking lot and laid there for 15-20 minutes before anyone noticed me. Luckily I haven't been hurt bad. 35 yrs in a chair and a lot of interesting stories. I love watching your videos. Thanks for sharing. ❤

[@schandrikawilliams2792]

Same. I have a lot of stories about falling out of my chair. It’s other people’s reaction that gets me 😂

[@Dovejep]

@@schandrikawilliams2792 It takes strangers forever to get us back upright and in the chair though....I suppose it doesn't help that I'm laughing at my stupid self for falling over to begin with! lol

[@zivagoldman2001]

We have medic alert type buttons for our house. They are like door bell buttons that can set off an interior monitor. I have one by my bed and my husband has one by his chair. They do not call an agency or a 911 service. They are just for the inside of the house. Cole can hang one on his chair or hang it around his neck when he is outside. So glad Cole is ok!

[@Pam-ik3zu]

I was going to suggest the same thing.

[@coleandcharisma]

We appreciate the advice but Cole has a cellphone that worked just fine. That’s why he has Siri enabled and it calls me.

[@shannonwalker8914]

I think this is one of the better suggestions for Cole, nice.

[@zivagoldman2001]

@@coleandcharisma True, but you even admitted that you missed the call!

[@coleandcharisma]

@@zivagoldman2001 I didn’t answer the call but I heard my phone vibrate, saw that it was Cole and went outside. His phone indeed alerted me.

[@marthaemery8402]

Moving is sooo stressful.

[@marlenecesarotti8468]

glad you 2 love it

[@catloverKD]

I would guess (because it happened to me) that Cole's stomach issues may have been from the change in water. I'm in Ohio, my dad lives in CA, and it happened every time I visited despite being fine otherwise. So my mom told me that was probably why.

[@coleandcharisma]

That’s exactly what he figured happened! That’s wild how water can really affect things

[@mariaelliott706]

I was worried when you moved to LA, always hoped I’d bump into you some day in Virginia. I always knew you would figure things out. The important thing is you have family that will come if and when you call. When you get married the two become one and the two of you have exemplified that bond. It’s a pleasure to witness it by way of your videos. Sophie girl will grow too. ❤❤

[@ngakin]

Love you guys ❤

[@shannontorres214]

It's nice to see you guys again. Your house is beautiful. Never mind negative people. We all have to deal with such people. God bless.

[@ednanelson1897]

You guys simply amaze me. You could've easily thrown in the towel and no one would blame but you persevered. We never know the strength we have until we are tried and tested. You guys came through with flying colors. Look where you are in just under two years. I know you are missing family but that is part of adulting. So proud of the two of you. 😊 May God continue to bless you both.

[@jtmmy]

What’s wrong with cali that’s not the whole USA?

[@piccioni1022]

Hey i think we missed cole actually yelled from his core

[@gvmundstock]

Hey guys, you can install kind of a panic button in Cole's chair pretty easy and cheap for these situations that are emergencies, this way he can save some seconds instead of calling and since it IS a panic button it is easier for him on a panic situation to remember about it rather than having to think of strategies to reach Charisma. So the way I imagine this is buying those wireless doorbells, plugging the sound outlet inside the house and sticking the button to his wheelchair so with a click he can ring the bell inside your home. Just think very well where to stick the button, so it's in an strategic place for him to reach from many positions and try to choose one with a big button so he doesn't need precision and is able to press with his wrist movement.

[@heidijoseph205]

How amazing that the universe brought you two together! You're so nicely paired and complement each other beautifully.

[@joshperry8125]

What did you doa? Whena? Howa? LMAO. Lucky for that seatbelt Cole. I have fallen out the side like that a few times in my 27 years in a chair. If you used a manual chair more you would be stronger. I told you.

I’m new here,why did you decide to move to LA….

[@rachelgooglyeyes3772]

I have IBS.. my bowels love to just decide on themselves... But oh my gosh i thought Cole was gonna crash land ! Rather he poop himself than fall and hit his head that was so scary to watch.. in hindsight, funny.. but in the moment no fun.

[@sionandjess]

Poo is just poo, we should be more used to it but there’s an embarrassment attached to it. I have Crohn’s disease so been there and done that! I’m not in a wheelchair but I do walk with a stick and have mobility issues so sometimes can’t get to the bathroom quickly enough! You just got to go with it and have a giggle. Glad you are settled now in LA. I’m from the U.K., but have visited a few states, LA was awesome.

[@sybilmcpherson2240]

I have destroyed 2 vehicles in my 33.5 yrs as a para... poo is poo until u gotta go in someone elses car!😂😂😂

Sometimes when you move to another area you can get diarrhea, it happens, your body needs to adjust.

[@TinaJones-rx4jw]

No disrespect to either of you but, getting lost at target and a week of diarrhea is what almost chased you out of California? Am I missing something? Doesn't he wear some type of diaper just in case of those types of accidents? Just asking for a friend.

I'm 10 years old look back and that'll be the easiest thing you ever did LOL but I bet you guys will be long out of California by then

[@lagringa7518]

Why in the world LA? Everybody else is trying to get OUT of there and California as a whole.

[@pattimilner6396]

I had the same issue when I moved to Florida to work after graduating from university. I moved from Nova Scotia, Canada. I moved not knowing anyone except an aunt and uncle that were wintering there. I lived and worked in Largo Florida for over 3 years. The main thing I missed was being near family. I enjoyed my work experience but it felt so good to move back to Canada when I did.

[@daniellemason8032]

Does Cole have an Apple Watch? Seems like it might be worth having in case he needs to get assistance quickly.

[@lisakrevonick702]

Why not one of you guys stay with the shopping cart and the other one get the vehicle that probably would have been better maybe😂

[@EmpressChernobyl]

I appreciate you guys for sharing and not pretending that everything is gumdrops and lollipops-it doesn’t make me feel good that things went bad for you guys, but it helps me accept when things don’t work out how I want them to (does that make sense?) and that if I want it bad enough, it’ll come. I love you guys’ journey-even when it’s crappy 😜❤️❤️

[@traceykerr572]

You need an outdoor potty like little kids have one of those portable potties and you could keep one in the yard for this reason Also some type of buzzer or alarm that he has on his chair that he can push that will vibrate on your watch or something like that.

[@donnajackson7459]

OMG, that really sounds like a horror story for sure. I do believe the change of climate and velocity could have played a part in Cole's illness when you first arrived. I can't even imagine being the caregiver how these incidents with Cole must taken a toll on you.

[@mariaelliott706]

Could Sophie help you get upright? Glad Charism heard you. Teamwork makes the dream work ❤️❤️
