Judy Brigham, who happens to be a Rotary District Governor of District 6110 (parts of Kansas, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Missouri), as well as her husband Tom and granddaughter Jaci Gall, recently returned from Oaxaca, Mexico where they distributed 140 wheel chairs. They call their project the American Wheel Chair Mission Project, and they raise the funds from various organizations, including Rotary Clubs, and use those funds to purchase high-quality, low-maintenance wheel chairs for those in need. During this trip, they delivered the chairs to those associated with CRIT (for mentally & physically disabled), to a nursing home, and to several homes. The rewarding part is seeing the true appreciation of those who would not otherwise be able to have a wheel chair. They are now considering another mission trip in the future to deliver additional wheel chairs. A Rewarding Project
