The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints together with the Wheelchair Foundation helped bring mobility to the people of Santiago Chile. From June 6-7, the LDS Church worked to distribute wheelchairs throughout the city of Santiago to people who needed a wheelchair but could not afford one. The people of Santiago were extremely grateful when receiving their new wheelchairs. With a new sense of empowerment, many of the wheelchair recipients can now go back to school, work and be more independent in their everyday lives.
1,202,179 wheelchairs delivered or committed to date.
