A Mother and Daughter

“We should help others…and build them up in the Lord.”

Romans 15:2

Every time you step out of your comfort zone to serve people dealing with disability, God uses your faithfulness to transform lives! It happened recently when God used your prayers and gifts in El Salvador at our Wheels for the World outreach!

When Blanca was born 9 years ago, Selena’s husband left the family. She was left all alone to care for her daughter. Selena was scared and filled with fear. Who will help me take care of my daughter with a disability? How will I provide for her needs? Born with a Chiari malformation in her brain (spina bifida), Blanca is also blind and attends a physical therapy school, but she desperately needed a wheelchair of her own…

That’s when your faithfulness came in! That afternoon, Selena watched as our team of volunteer physical therapists and mechanics tenderly and perfectly fit Blanca into her very own wheelchair. A Bible was given to Selena and Blanca in their language and the Gospel was shared by a local pastor.

“Thank you for this wheelchair you’ve given my daughter. It will be a huge help to us!”

 Because of you, Blanca received the greatest gifts at our Wheels for the World outreach! A wheelchair, Bible, and the Gospel shared by a local pastor. God is using you to transform lives for his kingdom ministry work!

Overflowing with gratitude for your faithful prayers and gifts, Blanca writes a personal message in Braille for you!

“Thank you for the wheelchair. It will be very helpful for me.”

Blanca Estela, El Salvador
