We are connected

Imagine being in a chair that is a 6 inches too short. You are dependent on this chair and must have it to go to school, home and out about town. You feel uncomfortable irritable and unable to sit up and participate in school.  This was Franchesca's experience. And now she has a new chair.

Chairs cannot be bought here- unless you are very wealthy and then they are orders in. We have to bring our chairs, parts and pieces- and pray for the best.

She is now sitting in the chair my son brought to Peru 2 years ago. Jeremiah's mission was to sit in the chair and bring it to Peru. Jeremiah doesn't talk (in the traditional sense). He doesn't like to be touched - he is autistic. But when we explained what he had to do to get to Peru - he did it.  He allowed himself to be patted down, he waited in line, and he allowed strangers to get close to him.
And now Franchesca has a chair!
