This is Diosa. She has learning disability and several months ago she developed left sided weakness of the body and extremities compounding her mobility limitations. There was no fanfare, the wheelchair was given to her and her response was a gem. She sat down on her wheelchair, gave us a sweet smile and said, "thank you po".
This is Asher. He has weakness of both lower extremities since birth. He is introvert and shy but generous with his smile. His excitement was not evident but you can feel it. He was accompanied by his mother and niece when he got the wheelchair. They were both expressive of their gratefulness that now Asher would be able to move around more freely.
This is Allan. His lower extremities got paralyzed several years ago because of thoracic spine problem probably Pott's disease. He already has a wheelchair, unfortunately it wasn't suited to his needs and prolonged use may have brought more problems than benefits. His new wheelchair now provides mobility with better ease and comfort. He is a jolly person. He expresses willingness to learn more about independent living and participate in our activities.
Aaron has autism. He was the last one to arrive on this day we released the wheelchairs. With him were his mother Bobot and his two siblings. Mommy Bobot is active in participating in activities not just for the Autism Society but in the Persons with Disabilities sector in general.
Here we are, last picture before we ended the day. On the right wearing a dark shirt is Teody, then Abner (the genius-looking guy with glasses), Aaron, Jun, behind us in dark green shirt is Bea, next is the sister of Aaron, and Mommy Bobot.
