Motivational Monday is all about celebrating resilience, determination, and the power of perseverance—and today’s story embodies all of that and more. Each week, we’re inspired by incredible individuals who turn life’s challenges into opportunities, and this week we’re shining a spotlight on one of our Triumph Foundation grant recipients. Their journey reminds us that with the right support, community, and mindset, anything is possible.

Benjamin has always been a hard worker. For years, he’s been a familiar face at a local car wash—greeting customers with a smile, polishing cars, and even running a shoe-shining stand. Born with polio in a country and time before the vaccine was available, Benjamin learned early on how to adapt and persevere, always lending a helping hand and never letting challenges slow him down.

For most of his life, he walked with forearm crutches, but over time, severe shoulder pain made that increasingly difficult. In 2024, Benjamin transitioned to using a manual wheelchair—but without insurance, he had to rely on an old, ill-fitting chair that made his long workdays even harder.

That’s when he met the Triumph Foundation. Thanks to the generosity of our supporters and our amazing friends at Mobility Professionals, Benjamin was fitted with a properly sized wheelchair through our grant program—one designed to match his needs and support his active lifestyle.

Today, Benjamin moves with greater ease, comfort, and confidence. He’s still showing up every day with that same work ethic and positive spirit—only now, he has the right equipment to keep him rolling forward.
