During their recent wheelchair mission to South Sumatra, Global Village Foundation. Bali were able to make a dream come true for two young women who have spent life laying down.
Nurah is 19 years old and her sister Eka is 23. They live in Lampung with their devoted parents. Sadly they have never had a wheelchair. While our wheelchairs are not designed for adults, we can often find they can be adapted for smaller frames like the sisters.
Both girls were born healthy, with no early signs of disability. However, after several months, their parents began noticing the same developmental challenges in each of them. Despite the difficulties they have faced throughout their lives, the love and dedication of their parents has been extraordinary.
For many years, Nurah and Eka have spent much of their lives lying on the floor, yet both young women remain physically strong and healthy — a true reflection of the incredible care, patience and unconditional love they have received every single day from their family.
In early May, everything changed. With the gift of their very first wheelchairs, Nurah and Eka can now experience a new sense of freedom, dignity, and connection with the world around them.
For the first time ever, this beautiful family will be able to go out together, visit relatives and friends and share life’s simple moments side by side as a complete family unit.
It was a joyful and happy day for the women, their parents and the team from Global Village Foundation.
No matter the age, getting mobility matters and makes the future so much brighter 🌞
