Heidi Schlotfeldt, from Rustenburg in Africa, sent us pictures and blessings and is overjoyed that Solomon Phiri has regained his mobility. Solomon, who is the wheelchair recipient, was not in attendance to receive his wheelchair at the time of distribution. Solomon suffered a stroke and is paralyzed on the right side of the body.
Heidi is now able to take Solomon out into the sun, go shopping, and take him along to get his pension money.
Heidi sends her many thanks to the Wheelchair Foundation.
The Safari for Mobility held at the Blackhawk Auto Museum earlier this year was a smashing success. Thanks to generous participants, funds were raised to sponsor 14 containers of wheelchairs, which will be delivered to different parts of Africa. The Wheelchair Foundation has teamed up with the Conservation Foundation Trust of Tanzania to ensure timely delivery of wheelchairs to the people of Tanzania.
