“My New Triumph Family”: Erick’s Journey Toward Independence

When Erick fell at work and injured his back, his entire world changed. Daily tasks became overwhelming, his independence was limited, and life at home grew more challenging. But during rehab at Casa Colina, he received a Care Pack from Triumph Foundation—marking the start of something bigger.

Now, Erick calls us “my new Triumph Family.” And family shows up when it’s needed most.

Our Triumph Family was able to provide Erick with a properly fitted wheelchair through our Wheelchair Loaner Program—empowering him to regain freedom in his daily life. Whether he’s making meals, attending therapy, or simply stepping outside, Erick is no longer stuck on the sidelines.

We are a strong family because of you.

Watch Erick’s story below to hear what his new wheelchair—and community—mean to him.
