This kind of persistence is commendable. Another instance of willpower by a differently-abled man won our hearts recently. An ex-army man Laxmikant Shirke who lost his right foot and right hand in an accident broke the world record held by the Australian physically challenged man Javier Stephen's of driving 25,000 km in 2016. He now holds a world record in driving.
We must learn from these people to never lose hope no matter how hard times get for us.
