"A moment a cane was put in my hand and I started to cross streets and I started to catch the city bus here on Oahu not on the Big Island on Oahu with millions of people, I started to feel good about myself," Cantan said. "I started to realize then that I wasn't going to be a burden on my family, my friends and my loved ones anymore. That gave me great joy and it gave me hope for the future for myself and everybody else."
