AMTRYKE RECIPIENT: Richie Padilla

amtryke recipients people weve helpedMeet Richard Padilla, a 35-year-old whose courage inspires us all. Richard lives with a neurological gait disorder that causes weakness in both his upper and lower extremities, making balance and walking a daily challenge.
This week, Richard received the gift of mobility—and his joy was contagious. He shared how grateful and happy he is to finally move around more freely, opening doors to independence and everyday moments many of us take for granted.
Stories like Richard’s remind us why our mission matters: every smile, every step, every new possibility is worth celebrating. Thank you to our members, supporters, and sponsors who make these life-changing moments possible. Together, we are building brighter futures.
As you can see it takes many people for an Amtryke recipient to receive their much-needed therapeutic tryke. To become involved in the Lubbock Monterey AMBUCS, you can DONATE now or become a SPONSOR. Come join us at our luncheon meetings and see what we're all about. We are the Lubbock Monterey Chapter of AMBUCS; Proud of our past...Engaged in our present...and, excited about our future. As it was in 1960...and as it still is today...WE STAND SHOULDERS TOGETHER
