The injuries also caused weakness in her arms and shoulders, making it incredibly difficult to push a standard wheelchair. As her inpatient rehab journey neared its end, Ruby was preparing to go home, but without the right mobility equipment her independence would be severely limited.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s when Triumph Family came to the rescue.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ruby applied to our Wheelchair Loaner Program and received an ultralight wheelchair that empowers her to move through her day with more ease and dignity. It\u2019s a vital piece of equipment that makes it possible for her to access the community, attend therapy appointments, and begin reclaiming the freedom she once feared was lost.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every chair, every Care Pack, every visit to hospitals like Rancho - it\u2019s all powered by YOU.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s keep moving people like Ruby forward, together.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"vc_empty_space\"   style=\"height: 32px\"><span class=\"vc_empty_space_inner\"><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div class=\"wpb_video_widget wpb_content_element vc_clearfix   vc_video-aspect-ratio-169 vc_video-el-width-100 vc_video-align-left\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wpb_video_wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Triumph Gave Ruby Her Freedom Back\" width=\"174\" height=\"309\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Bmc-3dKYNKs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"vc_btn3-container vc_btn3-center vc_do_btn\" ><a class=\"vc_general vc_btn3 vc_btn3-size-md vc_btn3-shape-rounded vc_btn3-style-modern vc_btn3-block vc_btn3-color-warning\" href=\"https:\/\/triumph-foundation.org\/es\/donate\/\" title=\"MAKE A GIFT\" target=\"_blank\">MAKE A GIFT<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: center;\">If you or someone you know needs help, <a href=\"https:\/\/triumph-foundation.org\/es\/contact-us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">please contact us.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Every month, Triumph Foundation visits Rancho Los Amigos Rehabilitation Hospital to meet newly injured individuals facing the life-changing reality of spinal cord injury.
