Genecis is a little girl with shining eyes filled with love. But she can’t express it. Born with cerebral palsy and a seizure disorder, Genecis has never spoken and cannot walk. But when she was lifted into a shiny new pediatric wheelchair, joy burst over her little face. That's when we introduced a “communication board” to Genecis’ mom, Luisa – she opened a book filled with simple signs that her daughter could point at to communicate her needs and thoughts (things like “eat,” “tired” “happy” “sleep”). Luisa and Genecis picked out their very own signs and a communication board was made. Seated in her new wheelchair with her brand new communication board on her lap table, little Genecis pointed her finger and searched for just the right picture to express herself for the first time. What did she say? “GRACIAS! GRACIAS!” Over and over she pointed to the picture for “thank you,” her little face beaming. Because of God’s love working through you, Wheels for the World has given Genecis the priceless gift of mobility and the ability to express herself for the first time. Thank you for making it all possible through your gifts and prayers!
