One of our distribution partners in Nicaragua, Christian Aid Ministries, sent us this message after receiving a shipment of wheelchairs for people with disabilities their communities:

"Distributing wheelchairs has been an open door for us to reach out and bless those individuals who need them. It has been an avenue to share the gospel and provide for their needs. It is common to receive comments from recipients such as: 'Now I can go to church again!'"

We wanted to share this with you since you help make all of this possible!

Laura, a 48-year-old from El Salvador, is a committed mother who loves her family.

She serves as the main provider and caregiver for her two sons while facing significant challenges.

Laura cannot walk due to nerve issues and epilepsy. It hasn't always been easy for her to look after her two children, the oldest of whom lives with cerebral palsy and autism.

But thanks to your generosity, Laura received a new wheelchair that allows her to more easily care for both of her kids.

Mobility also allows Laura to do more in her job as an office assistant, opening up greater opportunities for her to grow in her career and earn more in the future.
