History of the Wheelchair Wash - Hosted by Familia Unida a non-profit organization that just celebrated its 21 years of service. Founder Irma Resendez was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis and paralyzed for almost a year. She used an electric wheelchair/scooter and experienced feelings of isolation, prejudice and discrimination resulting from her disability. One of Irma’s dreams was to bring awareness to the fact that people living with a disability have many abilities. Through the non-profit Familia Unida, Irma was able to bring communities together to see for themselves how we are not so different after all. Irma’s vision was to pamper those feeling isolated and alone with a full day of love. Today this annual wheelchair wash is a symbol of celebration and happiness for all!
