| Introduction | At 24 I decided to start Embraced...two years, 45 collection bins, countless hours and 1500 pieces of equipment later, there are so many stories of people Embraced has helped. There is a man in Ecuador who had Polio and needed crutches to walk-- Embraced gave him the crutches. There was the boy in Atlanta who was shot when he was 18 months old, and at 17 years old still needed countless pieces of equipment just so he could live a semi-normal life—Embraced gave him the equipment. |
