Very happy update!
Within a few hours we had surpassed the needed amount... and people kept on giving!
Very happy update! 3 weeks ago I posted here about our 13 year old friend Sunday David, who was in urgent need of a new wheelchair - as his had reached its end. The response was amazing. Within a few hours we had surpassed the needed amount... and people kept on giving!
We received:
• 1,561,250 uganda shillings in cash**
• 5 Adult wheelchairs
• 5 Youth size wheelchairs
• And 4 pairs of Crutches!
Yesterday, Sunday got his lovely new wheelchair, and his mum received what was left over from buying the chair: 761,250/= which will go towards her sons medical bills & food for their home.
When our team which included some of the Grace Villa girls, Rev Canon Grace and our partner ON'z of ONz GYM & Nutritional Center in Kabale (which will be overseeing David’s physiotherapy) visited his home for the hand over, we told David that he is a hero. Because of his story, the lives of many handicapped individuals and their families have been changed! As seen in the amazing moments pictured below, we got to distribute wheelchairs and crutches to people in the community, young and old, who had been praying for such help for years.
On behalf of the very grateful recipients of your kindness & generosity, we say Mwebare munooonga our friends. Which is Thank You in Rukiga. These pictures are worth a thousand words.
