Just a few months ago, this road was a barrier.

In his village in the Dominican Republic, getting from one place to another wasn’t just inconvenient, it was nearly impossible. He had a traditional wheelchair.

But in a place like this, uneven dirt roads, rocks, ruts, long distances, that kind of chair doesn’t take you far.

It leaves you stuck. Stuck at home. Stuck depending on others. Stuck watching life pass by just beyond reach.

For him, that meant limited access to work. Limited connection to community. And even limited ability to get to places where he could receive care or hear the message of hope.

Then something changed.

Through a FAME partner, a hand-powered mobility cart arrived, shipped by people like you who saw value in giving equipment a second life.

Not just a chair…But a way forward. Now look at him. That smile isn’t small. It’s not polite.

It’s full.

Because now he can move down this road on his own. He can visit neighbors.
He can go where life is happening. He’s no longer waiting for someone to push him.

He’s going. And along the way… he’s heard something else.

About a Savior who sees him. Who values him. Who brings not just movement, but meaning. Not just access, but hope.

What you’re seeing in this photo is more than transportation. Its dignity restored, independence regained, and a future reopened. Because of partnership of people like you, a $1,574,826 value of Medical Equipment and Supplies has been shipped to FAME partners through March of this fiscal year! One Hundred and Twenty-One shipments to 48 FAME Global partners – and every shipment reaches someone like this! We don’t have pictures of them all, but this dear man’s smile symbolizes every Point of Care! Your generosity and prayer impact has a destination.

Additionally it’s the kind of impact that reaches beyond one person, into a family, a community… and eternity.

Because sometimes… joy has wheels. And sometimes… you’re the reason it does.
