“I am very happy because I can be independent... and now, my mother can rest."
These are the words of Ivan, a 13-year-old boy living in Palca, a small village in Honduras.
At the age of four, Ivan was diagnosed with osteogenesis imperfecta, also known as "brittle bone disease," which has caused him to fracture at least 10 bones in his body.
Ivan's family was unable to afford a wheelchair since his father makes about $8 per day as a laborer on a coffee farm. Ivan's mother, Fatima, takes care of him and carries Ivan wherever he needs to go. This becomes more difficult and risky as Ivan grows.
However, through the generosity of friends like you, Ivan received a new wheelchair that allows him to now attend school. It also allows his mother more time to do house chores and take care of Ivan's siblings.
The gift of a wheelchair can transform so many lives— of the recipient, their family members, and their communities.
