2. Our efforts
• Joint project with the the San Pedro de Macoris centro de invalidos y
discapacitados
• Over 30+ inaccessible families and handicapped individuals received
necessary medical equipment
• Over 200+ service hours donated
• Continued registration and follow up of recipients
3. White canes
Foldable canes for the visually impaired
can grant mobility once properly
trained. Mrs. Dominguez tries hers
following a cooking accident that
rendered her blind.
4. StandardWheelchairs
Many registered people used damaged
wheelchairs that were over 10 years old.
Replacement chairs were most
appreciated while the old ones could be
recycled for later use.
5. Adjustable Models
New registrants were able to receive the
appropriate medical equipment with little
to no hindrance.
After being measured, the chairs could be
ordered from Santo Domingo and would
arrive within the week to the distribution
center 10 miles away in San Pedro, the
closest easily accessible city.
6. Walkers
In rural pueblos, something as small as a
walker can make all the difference in
physical therapy following surgery.
Unfortunately, many hospitals can‘t
spare equipment like these walkers, and
extreme poverty prevents purchase.
7. New all terrain wheel chair
The Diaz family enjoy their new
wheelchair.This model, fitted with
sturdy mountain bike tires allows easy
access of the dirt roads of Consuelo
They later enrolled in our
alphabetization courses.
