Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada. Consuela is a poor, single mother who works the vegetable fields of Mexico. Every day she carries her disabled child, Angela, to work, lifts her off her back, and unfolds a toddler seat she keeps by the side of the field. While Consuela is picking vegetables, she pays the daughter of a fellow field-laborer a few pennies to watch Angela. You can imagine Consuela’s delight when Wheels for the World came to town. She took time off work to bring Angela to be fitted to a brand-new little wheelchair. Tears flowed as her little girl smiled in her new wheelchair. Consuela also received a Bible in Spanish, as well as the chance to embrace Christ as her Savior. And now? Consuela happily (and easily) takes Angela wherever she goes.
