Richard St. Denis started a non-profit organization that donates wheelchairs to the less fortunate cripples throughout the world. After being invited to speak in Mexico, and seeing the gratitude of one of the girls he donated a wheelchair to, he began to think about how these people were often overlooked and needed someone to look out for them.
Because of this, Denis decided to start a non-profit organization, World Access Project, which donates wheelchairs to the unfortunate across the world, so that they can experience a mobile life.
I think that this program is amazing. It is such a great idea, and it is amazing to hear about others go out of their way to help the less fortunate, all across the world. His story is very inspirational, and just shows how something tragic can lead to something amazing for others.
