Changing the Landscape of a Dark and Hopeless Reality

Wadha and her 7-year-old daughter Duaa needed a miracle when they arrived at our Wheels for the World outreach in Jordan.

Duaa cannot walk due to extremely weak muscle tone. Her weary mother is forced to carry Duaa’s growing body everywhere on her back. Exhausted and hopeless – and knowing it would improve the quality of their lives tremendously – Wadha was absolutely desperate to get a much-needed wheelchair for her daughter.

Feeling emotionally and physically depleted, Wadha knew she would never be able to afford a luxury item like a wheelchair for her little girl. But that afternoon, at our Wheels for the World outreach in a small city in Jordan, a miracle took place.

The impossible became possible!

Wadha watched in wide-eyed amazement as our volunteer Wheels for the World physical therapists and mechanics tenderly and perfectly fit Duaa’s fragile body into her very own wheelchair.

“She can now go to school and sit at the table with family!”
Wadha

Something as simple as a wheelchair gave little Duaa both dignity and mobility, and it gave her dear mother a new understanding of God’s love.

Duaa, her mother, and their entire family have now seen God’s love in action. Indeed, they have new hope and a new perspective on life and disability.

“I’m very thankful,” Duaa’s mother told our team. “You are doing something amazing for my daughter and for our people in Jordan.”

“May the Lord repay you for what you have done. May you be richly rewarded by the Lord!”
Ruth 2:12

In Jordan and all over the world, there are countless thousands of children with disabilities and their families in dire need of your prayers and support. Without you, they may never receive the practical help they need to survive, and more than that… they may never know the reality of God’s love.

God hears your cries and prayers for these needy families.

Please join us in praying for children like Duaa – in Jordan and beyond. Through your prayers and generosity, you can change the landscape of dark and hopeless realities. You can deliver hope through hardship.
