A Winnipeg man who uses home care says people in his position need to advocate for themselves and for access to personal protective equipment amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

Kevin Black was born with achondroplasia and was paralyzed from the waist down later in life — he uses a manual wheelchair and needs a health care aide to help him with some tasks when he’s at home.

Bruce Springsteen Teams Up With Wife Patti Scialfa For Heartwarming Duets To Raise Money For New Jersey

Bruce Springsteen and his wife, fellow rock legend Patti Scialfa, were born in the U.S.A. — but more specifically, New Jersey! So, the talented husband and wife duo of course had to help out their home state for its special JERSEY 4 JERSEY benefit show that aired on April 22. To help the concert raise funds for the New Jersey Pandemic Relief Fund, which will provide grants to communities in need amid the coronavirus pandemic, Bruce and Patti set up a concert right from their home. The lovers strapped on their acoustic guitars to perform a duet of “Land of Hope and Dreams,” which Bruce and their band, The E Street Band, released in 2001 (yes — Bruce and Patti are bandmates).
