//Donation of a Wheelchair in Panama to Angel
Submitted by Bruce S. Poulin, State Deputy

Angel M. is a 15-year old star student in high school who just graduated grade nine. He lives in an apartment on the third floor (with no elevator). His apartment has one bedroom which is shared between him, his two sisters and their mother. His dream is to become a teacher. Angel was born with deformed legs so he learned to walk on his hands to get around. His Godmother took care of him during the day while his mother worked for the first nine years of his life before his mother was unable to work and stayed at home to take care of her son.

Angel went to school walking on his hands using his deceased father’s sandals. It took him one hour to get to school each way. Angel has two more years of High School to go and his new school is two hours away. But his KofC wheelchair reduces this travel time to less than 45 minutes. Our donation has helped keep Angel’s dream alive. Our donations are making a difference!
