class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>It\u2019s really hot, and pushing you is exhausting,\u201d Li Feng-chun (\u674e\u9cf3\u6625) mumbled absentmindedly as she pushed her daughter Lin Jun-yi\u2019s (\u6797\u541b\u61b6) wheelchair down the street under the scorching sun. Though Feng-chun didn\u2019t give it much thought when she said it, her daughter took it to heart. Jun-yi couldn\u2019t bear the thought of her 70-year-old mother exhausting herself every day, pushing her to her rehabilitation sessions. But after brain surgery had severely impaired her mobility, she knew that consistent rehabilitation was her only hope of regaining her functions.<\/p><p>Determined to lighten her mother\u2019s load, Jun-yi searched online for a wheelchair that could make things easier, though she struggled to articulate exactly what she was looking for. Fortunately, she persisted. She eventually connected with Tzu Chi\u2019s Eco-Friendly Assistive Device Program, which provides free, second-hand assistive devices to those in need. Fang Qi-hui (\u65b9\u5947\u8f1d), a volunteer with the program, patiently listened to Jun-yi over the phone. He found it difficult to fully understand her situation, so he decided to visit her in person. Jun-yi lives in Zhunan Township, Miaoli County, northern Taiwan. After meeting face-to-face, he delivered an electric wheelchair to her and taught her how to operate it. After some practice on the neighborhood sidewalks, she quickly got the hang of it.<\/p><p>The daily commute to rehabilitation took half an hour, followed by an hour of therapy. Pushing a manual wheelchair back and forth had been tough on her mother, especially during the hotter parts of the day. With the electric wheelchair from Tzu Chi, however, Feng-chun could now simply walk alongside her daughter to and from rehab. Volunteer Fang was confident that the new wheelchair would make the journeys much easier, thereby relieving some of Jun-yi\u2019s guilt. Even better, Jun-yi happily noted, \u201cNow I can go wherever I want by myself.\u201d<\/p><p>Feng-chun felt a deep sense of relief as the rehabilitation sessions began producing results. She was happy to see her daughter\u2019s improvements, such as being able to get up and go to the bathroom on her own at night. But her greatest hope remained that Jun-yi would be able to walk again.<\/p><p>Just when it seemed that everything was finally falling into place, Fang noticed that the threshold at Jun-yi\u2019s home posed a challenge for the wheelchair. The uneven surface could cause the wheelchair to tip over, especially before Jun-yi became fully proficient in using it. Coincidentally, the volunteer who accompanied Fang, Yang Wen-zong (\u694a\u6587\u5b97), was a carpenter. After discussing the issue with Fang, he decided to make a small threshold ramp. They measured the dimensions on-site, returned to their local assistive device warehouse, found a solid wood board, planed it, and then installed it in front of the door. It fit perfectly. When Jun-yi tested it, it worked beautifully.<\/p><p>Jun-yi expressed her profound gratitude for the volunteers\u2019 help\u2014not only had they provided her with a powered wheelchair and adjusted its speed for her safety, but they also took the time to build the threshold ramp. She went on to share that during her rehabilitation, she had met many fellow patients in need of assistive devices and had informed them about Tzu Chi\u2019s program, hoping they too could receive help at no cost. \u201cYou are truly kind, offering a service like this. This can help so many people,\u201d she told the volunteers.<\/p><p>During a visit to Jun-yi, Fang happened to meet Ms. Ko, one of Jun-yi\u2019s fellow patients. Ms. Ko was holding a cloth sheet she had bought online, thinking it was a bedsheet when she placed her order. However, when she received it, she realized it was just a piece of cloth. \u201cThis can\u2019t be fixed on my bed and can\u2019t be returned,\u201d she said. \u201cI\u2019ve asked several clothing alteration shops for help, but none of them were willing to take my order.\u201d Fang thought of his 85-year-old mother, Fang Zheng Feng-yu (\u65b9\u912d\u9cf3\u7389), who was skilled in sewing. With Ms. Ko\u2019s permission, he took the cloth home and asked his mother if she could sew on some elastic and turn it into a bedsheet.<\/p><p>Though Fang\u2019s mother had never sewn a bedsheet before, she relied on her tailoring skills to figure it out, and expertly completed the task. Upon receiving the finished product, Ms. Ko asked Jun-yi to pass along her gratitude, saying, \u201cA big thank-you to the Tzu Chi brother\u2019s mother!\u201d<\/p><p>Through his volunteer work, Fang has realized the power of collective effort. \u201cWhen people are in need, I believe everyone is willing to lend a hand,\u201d he said.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section
