“Meet Abiti. Due to a condition she has endured her entire life, Abiti is unable to walk upright. Thanks to generous donors, BBF was able to send a PET International: Gift of Mobility hand-pedal-powered cart along with a shipment to St. Joseph’s Hospital in Malawi that has given Abiti a new independence. We’re honored to be part of bringing that smile to her face.
“I have attached some photos, also, of her before and after she received the cart.
“Thank you for partnering with BBF to provide PET Carts that BBF is able to ship throughout the world. We hope that this relationship continues as the PET Carts are welcome with many of our recipients.
“Best, Liam”
