Roho Cushion for Annie in Western Province PNG

Annie (pseudonym) is a bright, friendly and social Papua New Guinean woman in her 20s. She was paralysed secondary to spinal TB in her teens. YWAM has been visiting her in her village for many years, and last year was able to deliver a wheelchair that was donated for Annie that has wheels that are very suited for life in a village in remote PNG (think lots of mud, no concrete, houses made of bush materials). Annie had been enjoying being able to spend long days out and about in the community, visiting friends, playing games, sitting by the water, watching rugby matches and being social since receiving her wheelchair. This really changes her whole day to day life. Unfortunately she has developed a deep pressure sore which means she has been housebound for more than a month as it is too painful to sit. When her family is out she is stuck lying on the floor in her house until someone comes home, unable to participate actively in her community. Having a roho cushion would provide her with long term pressure relieving care, and enable her to get back out and about in her wheelchair despite her pressure sore.
