Elva Santana arrived from the Pepa de Huso community of the Montecristi Canton in the company of Reinaldo Anchundia her son, suffering from rheumatic fever which removed mobility from his legs just a few months after being born. Elva looked very happy. Her son however was even happier, since at the age of 27 he was receiving his first wheelchair which would allow him to move around on his own.
