Give the Gift of Hope this Christmas Season

The Gift of Mobility: Luke's Story

By 7017444915 • December 23, 2025
For the entire beginning of his life, Luke lived life on the floor. We met him on our fourth distribution day in Kenya. His arrival at the site was quiet, but his story spoke volumes. Luke, 11, lives with cerebral palsy. Before he was brought to a children’s home for the disabled, he had endured years of neglect. He was tied up, unable to move around, and kept inside his home so his disability would remain hidden. When they found him, he was emaciated, in constant pain, and X-rays revealed a broken hip that had gone untreated for years. His caregiver, Don, brought Luke to our distribution site for the first wheelchair he has ever owned. Fitting his chair took more than two hours, but Luke smiled through every moment of it. He seemed to understand that his world was opening up for the first time. During the fitting, one of our team members stayed by Luke’s side, comforting him. She shared, “I spent a lot of time with him, praying and singing and just stroking the side of his face. And I think that’s one of the things that really got me, I don’t think he’s had much human contact. He would just lean into me, wanting me to keep going, and he grabbed at my hands like he didn’t want to let go.” Every wheelchair you help provide becomes a turning point - a chance for a child to sit upright for the first time, attend school, join their peers, or simply experience life beyond the walls where they were once hidden. For Luke, it meant being seen, supported, and cared for in ways he had never known. This Christmas season, you can give the gift of mobility and change a life forever. Your support ensures that the most vulnerable are not forgotten and brings dignity and hope to children who have endured far too much. Luke is not alone — children like him are waiting across the world. “Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.” — Matthew 25:40 You can change a life today. Every gift brings light into the darkness and gives children like Luke a future filled with possibility. Thank you for giving children like Luke, and so many others, a chance at dignity and hope.

During the Christmas season, we take time to reflect on what truly matters – expressing gratitude and sharing our love with others. We find joy in God’s presence, celebrate, and show our thankfulness through acts of giving. This Christmas, offer the GIFT OF HOPE by providing a wheelchair and sharing the love of Jesus to transform a life.

MEET 8-YEAR-OLD ISABELLA

From the dark depths of hopelessness to the light of purpose, Isabella’s story is truly miraculous. As a young girl, Isabella had no movement in her legs. After 8 years of being carried by her father and traveling 18 hours by bus, Isabella’s life changed forever, receiving a Hope Haven’s kidchair – her GIFT OF HOPE.

According to the World Health Organization, 80 million people today need a wheelchair worldwide, yet only 5-35% have access to one. By giving a gift of mobility, you are improving the lives of people with disabilities, granting them dignity and a path to a brighter future.

Thanks to HHIM and faithful supporters like you, God has opened a new path to meet Isabella’s physical, emotional, and spiritual needs by receiving a custom-fitted wheelchair. The support she had been waiting for finally arrived, helping her develop the skills needed to reach her full God-given potential. As Isabella’s

father watched his little girl use her hands to push the wheels for the first time, she looked up at him with the biggest smile. Tears of happiness filled his eyes, knowing his daughter felt a newfound sense of independence. Having been carried through a seemingly hopeless situation, Isabella has now been given the freedom that will always protect, always persevere, and never fail.

In November 2024, HHIM partnered with Living With Hope to distribute 450 wheelchairs in Kenya. This initiative provided life-changing mobility aids to children and adults of all ages, aiming to restore dignity and create opportunities for those in need. This year, HHIM has delivered over 2000 wheelchairs and yet leaving hundreds more still waiting for their GIFT OF HOPE.

Proverbs 18:16 tells us that “giving a gift can open doors.” Across the globe, people like Isabella spend hours, days, or years in isolation, unable to experience the dignity and freedom they deserve. This Christmas, give a GIFT of a lifetime, a GIFT of hope, a GIFT of a wheelchair – wrapped in God’s love. When you donate, you are not just giving a gift – you are transforming lives, enabling independence, and opening doors towards a better tomorrow.
