One of those benefitted was Segundo Malusin and his wife Delia Tibanquiza who was thrilled on receiving the wheelchair she so much needed to take her husband to medical consultations. “Segundo lost his eyesight due to diabetes he carries for 35 years and will probably lose his foot. My shoulders hurt each time I take him to the hospital, I feel very tired”, she pointed out.
Delivery occurred in the Donations Warehouse premises and consisted of 30 wheelchairs, one mechanical propulsion car, 2 walkers and 8 walking canes. Furthermore, representatives from the Jesus Christ Church of Latter Day Saints, la Junta de Beneficencia and beneficiaries were present.
