“ He now has a dignified place , up from the dirt !”, Francis ’ Mother , in Uganda 2022 . Francis , a 23 year old man with cerebral palsy arrived carried at the distribution on his mother ’ s back . Francis ’ legs were covered in mud and his knees calloused from crawling . He had a wheelchair as a child , but outgrew it , and now his mother carries him for any journeys beyond crawling distance . When he got in his wheelchair , he immediately started pushing himself around — it was hard to finish fitting the chair because he was so excited to be moving !
