Together,

we write new stories

Behind every wheelchair we deliver, there is a life story waiting to be told. In this section, you can discover the real stories of individuals and families in Argentina who have received their custom mobility elements through CILSA's actions.

When we provide a wheelchair, we aren't just giving a piece of equipment; we are giving independence, comfort, and the ability for families to reconnect with their communities. Thank you to everyone who supports CILSA and makes these life-changing deliveries possible.

"I never thought he would get his little chair". Marlon’s Story

Las Lomitas. Formosa, Argentina

Yanina is a single mother of four, and today, thanks to the delivery of orthopedic equipment in Formosa, Marlon’s life and hers have been completely transformed. Seeing a child smile when they gain autonomy is what drives us every single day.

Let's keep reaching more people together!

Analía’s Story

Campo Quijano. Salta, Argentina

Our journey took us to the beautiful town of Campo Quijano, Salta, where we had the privilege of meeting Analía and her family.
During our first visit, we completed a thorough assessment to prescribe the perfect wheelchair for her needs, took all her measurements, and had a wonderful time chatting with her mother. Shortly after, we were thrilled to return to their home to deliver Analía's new custom postural wheelchair.

Seeing the immediate impact of this mobility on her daily life—and hearing her mother's words—reminds us exactly why we do this work:

"I am grateful from the bottom of my heart for the chair you gave her. My daughter really needed it, could no longer take her out to the town square on weekends, and we couldn't take her downtown because she didn't have a wheelchair and had no mobility".

Cayetana from Catamarca now has her new wheelchair ♥

Belén. Catamarca, Argentina



"My name is Cayetana Salva, I live in the La Puntilla neighborhood in Belén, Catamarca. I live here with my husband. I am receiving the CILSA wheelchair that the girls brought me so I can get around, so I can move about, because this is the only way I can manage. I also want to thank everyone who came for bringing me the chair; they did everything to bring this chair to me."
