If Victor didn’t have a wheelchair, he wouldn’t have a job. Victor lives with his family in Leon Mexico and suffers from Rickets because of the lack of calcium in their food and water. 45% of the people with disabilities in Mexico live in poverty and don’t think they can contribute to society. Victor is not one of them. He uses his wheelchair to go to work and provide for his family. He makes insoles for shoes and his wife sells them in a little shop his family runs next to their humble home. He is always smiling and happy to be alive. He says “making insoles makes me happy, even if I can’t use them.” Victor is a great example of taking what life gives you and making the best of it.
