“She uses one hand to cook. I do wash alone iye anoita yemwana wake.”
Now through this wheelchair, she will be able to do something going to church and all.
Ms Viola Nyamukomba who got the other wheelchair could not control her tears as she received the gift.

“I haven’t met Mr Matuka and I just heard him doing it as a gift celebrating his birthday it’s a blessing.
“I pray that God continues blessing this man as he remembers me on his day of celebration.”
Mr Matuka thanked God for giving him another year.
“It’s my joy another year added and I felt it’s a blessing remembering people who are having difficulties in life.
“I heard about Gogo and Viola and felt from the little I have we just reached to them.
“It’s my humbleness I did this all because of God’s grace.
“It’s my encouragement that it’s a blessing just to put a smile on someone if we can.
“Waking up to a splendid message from the Teen Rescue Mission Family brings me immense joy. They have truly made my day.
“Thank you, dear Family, for celebrating with me on this glorious day.”
