The Wooden Sword // 001

A 22 year old Canadian man seemingly had it all. Loving adoptive parents, a safe place to call home, and a family that cared deeply for him. As he stood wielding a hand-carved wooden sword behind his mother in the kitchen in November of 2016, Cameron Rogers considered everything that was so lovingly provided for him. Everything that is, except the freedom to choose how to live his own life.
