The Smiles say It All

The gift of mobility is truly appreciated by the disabled and the very patient and strong family members that are the care givers for these great people.

The young man below was going to college and was expected to be the family leader. Unfortunately, he contracted polio and now must be cared for by the family. Heart wrentching to be sure.





This young lady is remarkable. Although her body is small and frail, her mind and soul are very strong. She is truly beautiful. She told us that she enjoyed going to school and learning with the other kids but had to stop going because her family is too poor. She smiled at us and thanked us for our gift of mobility. We all shed more than a few tears for this couragious young lady.
