18.01.2022 Bali When the team made their recent trip to Trunyan Village to deliver Water Filter units to families in need there, they also visited the home of young Ketut ... aged 7 to deliver, and fit him with a new WHEELCHAIRS FOR KIDS custom wheelchair. Ketut is a very quiet, and serious young boy, but such a dear little soul. Born healthy, the first few years of his life were quite normal for a young boy growing up in Trunyan village, lot's of playing with friends, running around, splashing in the lake etc. Sadly by the age of six he was showing early symptoms of Muscular Dystrophy. Within a year, he was no longer able to straighten his legs. He has not been able to walk since December of last year. His new wheelchair will allow him to join his friends at school for the start of the new school year in July, something he has been looking forward to. Muscular Dystrophy is a progressive disorder. A cure is yet to be found. With the speed of medical advancements currently happening at this time in history we remain hopeful that a cure can be found to help young Ketut, and so many other young children suffering this disorder, in the not too distant future Thank you very much to the Volunteers & Sponsors @ 'Wheelchairs for Kids' for providing today's wheelchair, to the Village Head (Klian), for bringing young Ketut to our attention, and to our GVF friends around the World who continue to support us during these tough times. God bless you. Globalvillagefoundation Bali, Indonesia Bali Disabilitas Disabilitas Saturday 10 April 2021.

Hes always surrounded by friends and siblings, ready to help him in his brightly coloured wheelchair. See more

16.01.2022 Thailand Chotiwat is unable to talk, walk or see, due to a car accident he was in at the age of two months. Today he lives with his father and grandmother. His ...grandmother can't carry him outside of the house, so Chotiwat spends most of his days inside lying down at home. With this new wheelchair, his grandmother will be able to take him outside to get some sunlight and fresh air. His grandmother will also be able to exercise by pushing him in his wheelchair and will have the chance to visiting their friends in the village. Thank You, Kabaw See more

04.01.2022 It is hard to believe it has been 3 months since we lost our incredible dad. We are all so proud of him and all the great things he achieved in his lifetime. Ou...r beautiful mum was at the Lilydale Memorial Park Cemetery yesterday, at dad's resting place. She presented him with a cheque which represents the generous amount of money that people donated to Wheelchairs for Kids in dad's memory. We want to say a huge thankyou to everyone who donated to this wonderful cause. Dad really would have be so overwhelmed with all the generosity. We all miss him so much. We know he is in heaven now looking over us all. Peter Klaaysen Memorial

Gradually hes getting old, his body gradually became stick and his muscles became very tight and he cant even lift his head well. Within 3 months Now, he can even sit after the help of Physiotherapy rehabilitation. When we found him, he cant do ADL and always need help from his mother. He can sit independently but he cant stand and walk because of leg muscles tightness and dislocation of right hip. His mother cant always go further away from the house by carrying him so that he was never been anywhere before except around the house.
