Mobility is More Than a "Convenience" for
LifeNets Recipient in Balaka, Malawi

March 17, 2010

LifeNets responded to a plea for mobility from Patuma Wyson in Balaka, Malawi through our representative Wordsworth Rashid.  This sequence made me realize how just how much mobility means. It isn't just "convenience."  It's an entirely new life. 

Before:  This is "mobility" without a wheelchair

 

After:  Dr. Sam Chilopora and Esther with Patuma Wyson in LifeNets wheelchair

Letter from Patuma:

To LifeNets,

I write to thank you for the donation of the wheelchair. I will be able to move anywhere-everywhere to go to the market, visiting friends, church etc. and now my problem of movement is over. Continue supporting people like me. 

Yours faithfully, 

Patuma Wyson
