The last couple of months our stories have been focused on our Ride for Mobility.  All that time we continued to receive heartwarming stories of lives we are changing forever with our humble gift of mobility. Here is one from Sam who is part of our Free Wheelchair Mission team in India:

This article is about the outstanding victory of Litty. It appeared in the Kerala newspaper last month.The title of the article is “Triumph of Victory Against Faith”.  It is literally suitable to the successful story of Litty. Litty conquered her disability and fate through her glittering success in recent school examinations.

Litty is one of the inmates of House of Providence, a care center for the deranged. The sister superior of the center found Litty in a hospital when she was six months old. Her parents deserted her due to her disability. She can’t walk or stand.  Her hands and legs are too small and they are twisted.  Moreover, her hands have no fingers. Alas, she must crawl to get around.

All this aside, Litty is a good student at N.S.S Higher Secondary School. She gets to school by auto-rickshaw, but then must crawl to get around. When we came to know about Litty`s story we rushed to the center and gave her a wheelchair. She no longer needs to crawl. 

Litty can write if she holds the pen in both hands at once. She got an outstanding result in these recent examinations, and this opens the door for her to continue her education. We, the team of Free Wheelchair Mission in India, feel very proud of her glittering victory. We want to contribute to her success, along with her presence of mind and confidence. She will be in our prayers and perhaps in yours too. You can see the article about her from a daily news paper and her photograph with a cheerful face.
