If you traverse Upper Waterloo Road or Shortwood Road in St Andrew, you’ve probably seen Alfanso Mason selling bananas close to the intersection of both roads.

Using his crutch, the 52-year-old who lost one of his legs when he was a young adult skilfully manoeuvres his way between motor vehicles to earn a living for himself and his daughter.

Though he lost his limb as a result of a home invasion many years ago, Mason was determined to still make a living for himself and started selling guineps before switching to bananas.

His word of advice to others who may face difficulties: Don’t give up. Keep trying.
