The disabled character in question is the protagonist's elder brother. As a teen he had to jump from a second storey window with his sister (the protagonist) because of a house fire during a war (in which their parents and grandfather die). He broke his sister's fall somehow, but injured his leg in the process, and requires a cane to walk ever since. Next, they fall on hard times, and the brother has to work in a farm with an injured leg.
His sister feels personally responsible for this, even though no one blames her. Her strong sense of guilt leads her to do reckless things to protect what was left of her family from further harm. She ends up making a deal with an evil deity that endangers her life.
I was wondering if this portrayal would be offensive to persons with disabilities. I really, really don't want to come off as offensive or insensitive. Therefore some advice will be highly appreciated.
