Wheelchair Donation

A couple of months ago when Nicholas got his new EasyS stroller, we realized that he didn't need his manual wheelchair anymore. His manual chair had become uncomfortable for him to travel in for long periods of time and, therefore, had been collecting dust in our garage for the past several months. So, two weeks ago when Nicholas's occupational therapist came to our home for his appointment, I asked her if there were children at Nicholas's elementary school who might be able to use his manual wheelchair. She said she was sure it would be put to good use and took it to school with her that afternoon. When she visited yesterday, she told us that two kindergartners are able to use it to get around at school every single day! It filled my heart with such joy to know that this useful piece medical equipment is now helping two little girls travel comfortably around their school! It was so nice to hear that the wheelchair is making such a huge impact on two children's' lives. It is also nice to know that other kids will be able to use it in the years to come!
