For la Junta de Beneficencia de Guayaquil it is satisfactory to close out the year having benefitted 800 persons whit a free-of-charge wheelchair donation to those with mobility and disability problems, between children and adults, all of scarce economic resources and from different parts of the country.
These mobility tools donations are done in coordination with International Organizations such as free Wheelchair Mission and the Jesus Christ Church of latter Day Saints who trust that La Junta de Beneficencia will channel their donations so that these will reach those most in need.
It is a joint effort since la Junta, as such, is responsible for going through customs with the donation, warehousing and the logistics to locate the beneficiaries as well as organizing a responsible chair distribution according to the needs of the patient and to physiatrists' evaluation of patients' physical condition.
We are grateful to the means of communication for the permanent broadcasting of this activity which helps us provide wheelchairs free of charge by approaching la Junta de Beneficencia of Velez and Pedro Carbo to take an application form.
