​Fidel is a 31-year-old man who lives in San Pedro Las Huertas, Guatemala.  Fidel lived in an institution specifically for children with disabilities for most of his life up until 5 years ago when he moved into the home of Pat Duff who began the ministry called Reason to Hope.  Pat has welcomed 4 young men with complex disabilities who use wheelchairs for mobility into her home.  Fidel is the leader and the oldest of these men and has begun a business collecting recycling materials from homes around his community for money.  Fidel has cerebral palsy that effects his use of his hands as well as making speech difficult.  His neighbors are not able to understand his speech, which makes his business difficult in the community.  GOT Ministries was able to partner with Andrew Lewis and provide a state of the art communication device for Fidel.  Andrew provided valuable services while in Guatemala at the end of February, to mount the communication device and a mouse pad onto Fidel’s wheelchair, as well as teach Fidel how to use this amazing resource.  Fidel, because of his limited use of his hands, excels with the use of his toes and feet for everything he does, including accessing his laptop computer and cell phone.  Andrew and Megan mounted a mouse pad onto his foot rest so that he could navigate the options on the communication device screen with the use of his toes! Now Fidel is able to use the communication device to tell a girl he likes that she is pretty, to ask for recycling from neighbors to continue running his business, and expand verbal vocabulary to truly share his vast intelligence and knowledge with others. We are thankful for the donation of Fidel’s communication device and the support of individuals to financially make this trip possible for Andrew to serve Fidel.
