Every day, numerous individuals with disabilities face significant challenges that often go unnoticed. Mrs. Margaret, a courageous 67-year-old grandmother raising her three grandchildren, is a powerful example. When her wheelchair became unusable, it wasn’t just a broken device—it was a barrier that isolated her.
On August 14, 2024, we delivered a new wheelchair and essential groceries to Mrs. Margaret, transforming her daily life and restoring her connection to the outside world. Yet, her ongoing struggle with a severe wound from an unknown bite starkly reveals the critical need for sustained support and resources for the disabled community.
The Reality of the Crisis:
- Over 75 million people around the globe rely on wheelchairs to navigate their lives with dignity and independence.
- 1 in 5 people with disabilities are tragically denied access to the mobility aids they desperately need, leaving them confined and vulnerable.
- 80% of people with disabilities in low-income regions are deprived of essential healthcare services, intensifying their suffering.
The reality is harsh: millions suffer in silence, battling for necessities and a semblance of normalcy. They are our family, our friends, our neighbors—and they are pleading for our help.
