Many of you will remember the young lady, Claudia, who has been in a wheelchair her entire life but wanted to walk. In March she was shown being helped to a standing position by Dea and Debbie--for the first time in a long time. She was thrilled to be able to stand up!

Her parents have carried her around and her father has carried her up and down the hill to their house whenever she was allowed to go to town. Several things have happened to improve her life since then.

On two trips, Morris has worked to aid her mobility by building sidewalks and ramps. On this last trip in December he engineered a switchback ramp to allow her to go in her wheelchair from her house all the way to town. Photos will not completely show the awesome task that he completed, but we will try in the next few blogs to show some of it.

Here she exercises on a bicycle that we helped her get in September. She has been given 3 trips to a therapist in San Salvador, and they have helped her a lot. She is able to walk with a walker by herself now. We would love to take an experienced physical therapist who could give her a week or two of intensive therapy and get her to crutches or even a cane. If you know of someone who might do this, please let me know.

God bless you, Ralph
