Your Prayers Gave a Widow and Her Daughter the Greatest Gift of All

The prayers of a righteous man or woman are truly powerful and effective!

Just ask Rosa, a widow from El Salvador, and her five-year-old daughter, Ashley. Rosa’s little girl was born with cerebral palsy and hydrocephaly in a country where help is simply not available. Read Rosa’s story, and be inspired because it’s really your story, too. It all began with your faithful prayers…

Rosa, a single mom, works as a maid and takes Ashley with her. The family Rosa works for lets Ashley stay in a bed in the house while Rosa works. Every hour or so, Rosa hurries to Ashley and turns her over so she does not get bed sores. She must do this quickly or risk losing her job. Ashley spends her days in that little bed, hidden away in that tiny room…waiting.

Rosa brought Ashley to a Joni and Friends Wheels for the World outreach in need of a wheelchair and left with much more. Rosa watched as Ashley was fit into her very own wheelchair. Plus, Rosa and Ashley were given a Bible in their language and heard the Gospel from a local pastor. Your gifts of a wheelchair and a Bible changed Rosa and Ashley’s hearts, minds and lives—in Jesus’ name!
