This Story comes from Free Wheelchair Mission volunteer, Bill Rice, on his recent mission trip to Oaxaca, Mexico:

I think the story that stands out for all of us is about an old man in San Agustin. He was carried into the distribution area and sat quietly while the politicians made their speeches. One common theme I have seen everywhere I travel with Free Wheelchair Mission is the local politicians love to talk. 

Anyway, the old man looked uncomfortable but he stayed quiet until it was his turn to get a chair. My daughter, Victoria, and Steve Elliff (Free Wheelchair Mission volunteer) took a chair to him and helped him into the chair. Then, he just started sobbing and crying. I tried to speak to him through an interpreter but he just kept crying. 

Finally his adult son helped me speak with him. The man is 67 years old and was crying because he could not believe that strangers loved him enough to bring him a wheelchair. He had been praying for a chair for years and now his prayers had been answered.
