Edith's and Yaneth's Help Fund

Donation protected

We have two elderly women who have suffered strokes and are being treated by physical therapy at the handicap foundation in Boquete, Panama. One of which is named Yaneth who lives with her husband in a little very modest Panamanian home. The house has no bathroom or running water. She at times cannot come to therapy because her path is dirt and with large rocks in places so her aged husband cannot push her wheelchair. We are working on raising enough money to put in a very basic concrete path so she can come to therapy on a regular basis.
The other women is Edith. She has a history of falling as she has little use of her right arm and leg. We have worked on braces and strengthening exercises to help prevent falls that could leave her in even worse shape (ie. broken hip). After doing a home inspection it was discovered that one of the contributing factors to her falls is that she cannot fit her wheel chair into the bathroom and that it is so small her husband has to try to hold her up while he showers her with buckets of cold water. She has slipped in the bathroom several times. We are trying to raise enough money to enlarge the bathroom so that she can get her wheelchair in and then transfer to a shower chair. This will make a huge difference in her day to day life.

These two projects combined will cost $700, so that is our goal. Currently we have raised $30. 

This will make a lasting benifiet for these to grateful ladies. Thank you very much
