Didina was paralyzed at age 22 due to an unknown condition. Then for 30 years she lay in a small dark bedroom wanting to die to get free from the bed that felt like a prison.

Joni and Friends Wheels for the World volunteers heard Didina's story and came to provide her with physical therapy. After seeing her condition they didn't know if they could provide Didina with a wheelchair that could meet her needs, or how her body would respond to being moved.

Despite uncertainty, the Wheels for the World team found the right wheelchair for Didina. And when her family successfully transferred her into the wheelchair, Didina finally got to come outside—out of the dark and into fresh, clear daylight!

Didina immediately gasped with excitement, crying tears of joy saying, "Thank you God for seeing the sky!"
