María Sangotuña, one of the beneficiaries, came from El Triunfo to pick - up the wheelchair which according to Angélica Morocho, her daughter, will serve to mobilize her to receive hemodialysis she needs due to her kidney failure.
Virgilio Reyes, another of the beneficiaries, received a mechanically powered car that will allow him to move around. "I am very grateful to this cart that they have given me, it will help me to start a business," he said.
