Your Prayers and Gifts Changed Cristina’s Future

Thousands of children with disabilities in developing countries like Romania urgently need kid-sized wheelchairs. They are in critically short supply and very expensive; in fact, wheelchairs can sometimes cost up to a year’s salary, which most families with special needs children cannot afford. Recently our Joni and Friends Wheels for the World team met 7-year-old Cristina, who has cerebral palsy, at our wheelchair distribution. Your faithful prayers and financial support gave Cristina (and many other children like her) a Bible in her language and a restored wheelchair that fit her perfectly!

Cristina’s mother, who was deeply moved, shared with us as she watched our volunteer physical therapists and mechanics work on her daughter’s wheelchair, “God bless you all. Thank you for the wheelchair. I want every good and perfect blessing for those who gave.”

Seven-year-old Cristina said, “This wheelchair will help me and my mom very much. It will change our lives. Thank you!”

Thanks to your prayers and financial partnership, God touched Cristina and her mother that day through a wheelchair and the Gospel shown in deed!
