Though he still has no grip in his fingers, he learned to paint by clenching the brush between his fingers and paint for a living and as a therapy too. He lost his dear mum who had been his caregiver on june 23, 2011. To deal with the devastating loss, he started a small fun called the momma kennedy and friends mission in her memory.
