Juan
Juan spent 4 years bedridden after his legs were amputated due to Diabetes. He did not have the strength to move a manual wheelchair. His life changed after receiving his motorized wheelchair, Juan regained his mobility and was no longer a burden to anyone, he happily rode his wheelchair around town until his passing. May he rest in peace.
Mrs. Gonsaga
After suffering from back pain she sought medical attention, during a Dr. visit, the injection that was administered accidently damaged her marrow and she was left paralyzed for life. Thanks to her donated chair, she resumed her normal routine including her Church activities.
Alexis
Born with paralysis throughout his body, he spent most of his life in bed since the only person that cared for him was his elderly mother who was too weak to move him. In 2011 Manolo donated his first motorized chair and to this day moves happily around his village.
Humberto Serrano
Trucker, who in 2008 had an accident, fractured his back which left him without use of his legs. In 2011, Manolo donated his motorized wheelchair. Humberto regained his mobility and once again became independent.

Today Diego is completely independent and is in charge of verifying our wheelchair recipients truly have need. Diego ensures donated supplies from our Foundation are distributed among those with the most need in Mexico. Thank you Diego for all your efforts to help other people regain their mobility and dignity!
Joaquin
Reflection from our Founder, Manolo. I remember lifting Juaquin’s fragile body onto his first electric wheelchair. It’s a moment I will never forget, being overwhelmed with emotion, this was the first wheelchair I personally delivered.
Joaquin later confided in me how impactful that wheelchair was to him. Unbenounced to me, Joaquin suffered from depression and wanted to end his life because of the situation he found himself in. Joaquin told me that that wheelchair gave him hope and purpose to continue to live!!!

Thank you Manolo for working tirelessly everyday bringing the gift of mobility and independence to those who have lost all hope. You are an inspiration to us all, God bless you and your family!!!!
