Olga arrived in Guayaquil from the Las Cucharas sector of the Pedro Carbo canton to receive her wheelchair. She did so in the company of her son due to the arthritis and arthrosis she has been suffering from for the last 23 years and which has gradually deformed her knees and ankles limiting her mobility.

She was part of those thirty persons who received wheelchairs as part of the permanent program for free wheelchair delivery carried out by la Junta de Beneficiencia de Guayaquil in coordination with the Jesus Crist Church of Latter Day Saints.

Cesar Castro was another beneficiary left paraplegic by a bullet 23 years ago and since then has been using a very deteriorated wheelchair due to its usage. “This alliance is of great benefit because we are people of scarce means who cannot afford this implement of great help to us”, he said.

This year the free wheelchair delivery program from la Junta de Beneficiencia de Guayaquil has benefitted a total of 795 disabled persons from areas in the city and the country.
