Barry Talbot isnSA国际影视传媒檛 a man who likes to sit still.

So far, that trait has served him well, and the people around him too.

In 2009, Talbot was delivering wheelchairs to those in need in Mazatlan, Mexico.

SA国际影视传媒淚 gave this wheelchair to this little girl,SA国际影视传媒� he said. SA国际影视传媒淚 asked her mother if there was a chance if she could learn to walk.SA国际影视传媒�

That little girl was Ariam Guadalupe. A local newspaper clipping Talbot pulled out detailed his first interaction with her, explaining that she was born with cerebral palsy and under-developed leg tendons.

She was reliant on that wheelchair SA国际影视传媒� SA国际影视传媒榳asSA国际影视传媒� being the key word. Talbot, with help from the Rotary Club of Yellowknife, St. Patrick High School, and many others, raised enough money for GuadalupeSA国际影视传媒檚 operation, about $5,000.

Almost $2,000 was used for the surgery while the rest went to ongoing therapy, Talbot explained.

HeSA国际影视传媒檚 back in Yellowknife now, but this past March, he got to reconnect with Guadalupe, he said.

SheSA国际影视传媒檚 19 and runs her own business as a beautician. She might stand a little less than five feet tall, but she now does it on her own two feet.

It was admittedly pretty emotional for Talbot to see her again.

SA国际影视传媒淚SA国际影视传媒檝e always referred to her as my angel,SA国际影视传媒� he said of Guadalupe. SA国际影视传媒淪he had an aura about her when I gave her a wheelchair, I donSA国际影视传媒檛 know what it was.SA国际影视传媒�

When Talbot went back to visit, he said, SA国际影视传媒淚tSA国际影视传媒檚 so good to see my angel again.SA国际影视传媒� But GuadalupeSA国际影视传媒檚 mom had someone else in mind for that title.

Talbot had a hard time coming up with the words to describe how he felt in that moment, but it might just be the most significant thing heSA国际影视传媒檚 done in his life, he said.

No matter how great an impact heSA国际影视传媒檚 had, heSA国际影视传媒檚 always one to share. He doesnSA国际影视传媒檛 want others in this city having their good deeds go unnoticed either.

Talbot explained the assembly line involved when it comes to delivering wheelchairs in Mexico. He raises money, which then goes to the Canadian Wheelchair Foundation, who then arrange for the purchase of the mobility devices.

The chairs are actually manufactured in a small factory in Mexico. They then get shipped to Mazatlan, and, eventually, to the people there in need.

SA国际影视传媒淚SA国际影视传媒檓 one piece of the puzzle,SA国际影视传媒� Talbot said.

With tears in his eyes, all he could say was there was just something truly special about little Guadalupe all those years ago.

SA国际影视传媒淚 donSA国际影视传媒檛 talk to everybody that receives a wheelchair,SA国际影视传媒� Talbot said. SA国际影视传媒淥ut of the blue I thought, SA国际影视传媒業SA国际影视传媒檓 going to ask her mom if thereSA国际影视传媒檚 a chance she could walk again.SA国际影视传媒� Why I did it? I donSA国际影视传媒檛 know.SA国际影视传媒橲A国际影视传媒�

The last time Talbot had heard about Guadalupe before he saw her in March was about 10 years ago, he said.

ItSA国际影视传媒檚 a massive accomplishment, but it seems Talbot is far from finished with his charitable work. He said heSA国际影视传媒檒l be back down south around wintertime. He might see Guadalupe again in December.

As for what fuels his fire, even he isnSA国际影视传媒檛 quite too sure, though he did cite his parents as a starting point.

SA国际影视传媒淢y folks taught me that if God does bless you with some financial wealth, then you need to share it. And they always used to hammer into me a verse from the Bible: SA国际影视传媒業tSA国际影视传媒檚 better to give, than to receive.SA国际影视传媒橲A国际影视传媒�
