The First Recipient of 2010!

Happy New Year!

For Wilfred, 2010 is off to a great start as he is enjoying the newfound freedom and independence of a functioning power scooter. Wilfred contacted us because the power wheelchair he received from the VA hospital had stopped working and was thought to be unrepairable.

In November of 2009 a gentleman donated a 3-wheeled scooter to us that wasn’t working properly and was in need of cosmetic repairs. A fresh set of batteries later the scooter was running great and a little elbow grease made it look good as new. 

George and I delivered this scooter to Wilfred at his apartment yesterday and enjoyed hearing about his time in the Service. While there, we were even able to fix the broken wheelchair that will serve as a back up in the event his scooter stops working. The fact of the matter is that wheelchairs and scooters brake down too and Wilfred is happy to know this will no longer be an issue.
