NewsLady Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 We want to thank everyone who helped out and or donated. You made it happen! They both are very appreciative and this will make a lasting difference in there lives. We have one more project we are trying to complete for Christmas. We are currently trying to help an elderly man who is a paraplegic. He was wheelchair bound until he started physical therapy and at a high point was walking with a walker up to 20 minutes. This required months of hard work in rehab. Unfortunately his blood pressure began to shoot dangerously high and we had to suspend therapy. He was diagnosed with a non functioning kidney. He had to have surgery to save his life. It was a very tough couple of months before Celestino could again return to rehab. He has now been working very hard and is now walking again up 15 minutes along with his other exercises. Celestino lives in a very little house alone. The Foundation pays for a taxi to pick him up and bring him to therapy. However when it rains the taxis cannot make it up his muddy driveway. So he cannot come to therapy. We are trying to raise enough money to build a concrete drive with wheelchair access so Celestino can continue to come to therapy. We have volunteers to do the work but we need the funds to pay for the materials. We have done two other projects recently for two elderly women who have had strokes. These projects have been completed and have made a lasting difference in these people's lives. Now we have run out of funds to do this last project for Christmas. Partner with us to make one more Christmas wish come true.
