San Jose was united once again with the collaboration of the municipality, institutions in the health field, volunteers and the members of the Do it Center Foundation. The event date was set a couple months ago and the complex ball of coordination was put into motion. Two days prior, the enthusiastic volunteers show up to clean the venue, set up tables and unload the 40 foot container. Before long you have a finely tuned machine assembling wheelchairs at an incredible rate. Our volunteers are great and no doubt our assembly lines would make Henry Ford envious!

At today's event young Ivan was the first in line. Waiting patiently in his father's arms, he gazed at the wheelchair that would soon be his. Ivan is 9 yrs old and suffers from Multiple Sclerosis. He has difficulties with coordination and balance as the muscle spasms progressively get worse. Needless to say, the family's daily routine is a constant emotional and physical battle that is amplified when a wheelchair is absent from the equation. After the speeches were made and the thanks were given everyone was getting situated in their new wheelchairs. Ivan was helped into his new wheels and the safety harness was carefully adjusted. Ivan's parents embraced as tears rolled down their eyes. Nothing was lost in translation....everyone got it! Something as simple as a wheelchair will help the three of them alleviate some of the struggles that they encounter each and every day. You can help alleviate some struggles by contacting us today.
