“Sir, I Can Make Your Daughter Walk Again” – Said the Beggar Boy! The Millionaire Turned and FROZE
In Birmingham, Alabama, nine-year-old Ezekiel “Zeke” Carter, in duct-taped boots, sat outside Children’s Medical Center, sketching quietly. Jonathan Reeves, a weary father, carried his paralyzed six-year-old daughter, Isla, to her appointments. Zeke boldly claimed he could help Isla walk, citing techniques learned from his late mother, a physical therapist. Skeptical but intrigued, Jonathan met Zeke at Harrington Park, where the boy used simple tools—rice packs, a tennis ball—to gently work with Isla’s legs. Over weeks, Zeke’s patient stretches and
encouragement led to progress: Isla moved her foot, then her knees. Despite setbacks, Zeke’s persistence inspired her. On the ninth Sunday, Isla stood and took three shaky steps, stunning everyone. Zeke, now living with Jonathan’s family, continued helping other kids, turning the park into a healing hub. His heart and grit proved that even a boy with nothing could change lives.
