He collects donated chairs, scooters and durable medical equipment so they can be refurbished for other people in need. Often new pieces of equipment cost thousands of dollars and are not covered by insurance so his creativity and mechanical skills go a long way toward making mobility a possibility for all.

I snapped this pic of Choey on the patio this past weekend. We painted the front deck and he was able to help a lot b/c of the new chair – he says he doesn’t know how he ever made it without it!!  Thanks so much!!

I managed to get one of the controller boards installed and got most of the drive system hooked up again by 2:00 pm last Thursday, which gave me one hour to take a shower, get dressed, and go with Jeff (driving his chair finally) in time for my father’s wake at 3:00 pm.

Thanks for the help. I’m still working on the chair. I will be sending back the controller housing soon.

Best wishes
Richard

I just got home from the hospital and uncrated the beach chair.  It’s REALLY nice!!
Thank you again, I know that Jeff will enjoy it for a long time to come.
 
Warmest Regards,
 
Kelly
