The Story of BIG A
We all know this guy, we all have one of him in our lives. The big tough, rugged guy, made of steel who's the kindest man. The man who would be the first to do anything to help a neighbor. I'm sure it took the courage of a lion for him to write in a request for help.
BIG A said, "I worked in the steel industry since I graduated out of trade school. I always took on the big heavy jobs until one day I couldn't use my left leg. After getting an MRI we discovered the damage I did to my body over the years." Today, after years of surgeries to try and repair his spine, BIG A has spinal arthritis, degenerative discs disease and spinal stenosis. BIG A has all he can do to manage the pain. He walks poorly on crutches and BIG A misses things like "walks with my wife or engaging with friends and family, doing activities or attending events."
What's one thing that could make BIG A's life a little easier? BIG A asked for a wheelchair. I told him, "I have an electric wheelchair in the garage. I can drop it to you tomorrow." BIG A said, "I'm not there yet. An electric chair would make me too lazy. I'd like a manual chair please. It will keep me active." Of course BIG A, as you wish.
Today, because of YOUR support, I was able to order BIG A a Folding Sport, lightweight, adjustable, anti-tipper, all terrain wheelchair, pictured above.
On behalf of BIG A, thank you for your support.
