“If a car comes at that moment, what happens?” Marian asks an unfriendly driver. “Are you a policeman to ask me?”the driver replies. “No,” adds Marian. “Well, call the police and ask me,” says the driver. This is an example of the common conversations that this Sevillian mother has to deal with. She has three children who are suffering Friedrich’s ataxia, a rare disease that affects mobility.
The fact that disaffected drivers are taking up parking spaces reserved for disabled people means, according to Marian: “That you can be late for a medical appointment, This means your day is ruined because you had this space and it involves the effort of having to move three people with reduced mobility from a much further away location.
For this reason, from his TikTok channel @viviendo_con_ataraxia, he launched an awareness campaign to These parking lots must be respected. He designed his own stickers which read: “Put yourself in their shoes, not in their shoes”. What hits the windows of unfavorable drivers.
A campaign that, as they write on social networks, is already crosses borders: “From Argentina, I wish we would do the same here.” So if you find such a sticker, as Marian says: “It was probably me.”
