You Put a Smile on His Face
Meet Frank, a 10-year-old boy who lives in the Huancavelica province of Peru.
He was born with muscular dystrophy, affecting his legs, and had to use a wooden stick to help him walk. He couldn’t travel far, though, and had to be carried longer distances.
Frank loves to read and attends a neighborhood school with his two siblings. As he grew, it became more difficult for them to help him get to school, but his parents couldn’t afford to buy him a wheelchair. They labor in the fields each day to grow just enough crops to feed the family, exchange for goods, or sell to help pay the bills.
Frank was overjoyed when our local distribution partner brought wheelchairs to his town and fitted him with a new GEN_2.
His parents, Robert and Deonisia, expressed their gratitude to all involved in answering their prayers and giving their beloved son the cherished gift of mobility.
