Two weeks ago Jane Harvey, Deborah Sakach, and staff member Angela Gomez visited our Distribution Partner Primera Iglesia Evangelica y Reformada (PIER). This story is about eighteen year old Miguel. His mother didn’t know what his disability was and has never owned a wheelchair.

All his life he had been carried by friends and family but as he got older and heavier he didn’t get out very much. Miguel was extremely happy when he was lifted off the ground and moving on his own. He was so excited that a wheelchair race was organized and he was the big winner! After winning he was asked what will you do now that you can get around on your own? He replied ecstatically, “I can now go to church with my new wheelchair!”
