For three years now, Íngrid Ruiz has been unsuccessfully logging into the Generalitat's online services website every day to see if she can apply for the aid that would allow her to finance essential items for her daily life, the provision of social care for people with disabilities (PUA). She has both legs amputated, needs a wheelchair, and during this time she has had to bear the cost of all the products that allow her to have a quality of life. These include a motor that helps her on inclines, a motorized handlebar she uses to move on uneven terrain, and an adapted car without which she could not drive. Ruiz estimates that in total it amounts to over 15,000 euros that she has had to pay out of her own pocket because these benefits have been frozen since 2023. Now, the Department of Social Rights has relaunched the call so that people like Íngrid do not have to bear this expense, although it will not be able to reverse the "economic and emotional toll" they have suffered during this time.

Mercè Tarruella missed the first three years of her daughter's life because she was bedridden, and the little girl was always with her grandmother. After giving birth, she contracted an infection that affected her spinal cord, leaving her paraplegic at a time when doctors didn't know what to do with these patients: the only prospect they had was to remain in bed. However, Mercè's life changed radically the day she met Dr. Miquel Sarrias, who had returned from England with the mission of establishing a new hospital in Barcelona designed for people who, like her, couldn't walk. She still remembers the day, 62 years ago, when she was told she could get out of bed, after having already resigned herself to never being able to: "I had never seen a wheelchair. There weren't any in Barcelona. Paraplegics were confined to their homes, and they died young."

Óscar Onrubia (Barcelona, ​​2000) recently became European wheelchair basketball champion after leading the Spanish national team to the finals in Sarajevo. Born in the La Mina neighborhood of Sant Adrià de Besòs, he suffered from meningococcal sepsis as a child, which resulted in a double tibial amputation and the loss of fingers. But Óscar isn't one of those people born to be idle. This neighborhood, which carries a stigma, became the backdrop for his story, where he fell in love with sports and music. A lover of film and tattoos, he is now one of the best players in Europe. He receives the call from ARA in Albacete, where he lives and shines with Amiab Albacete, the champion of the Adapted Basketball Champions League.
