Dad had purchased a tilt back wheelchair in May '18. After he passed I put it in the basement where it sat for a few months. I finally decided to do something with it and placed it for sale. I had no takers and dropped the price a few times. Couple days ago a lady got in touch with regards to it for her son. After a bit of conversation I learned he is 25 years old with severe cerebral palsy. He is blind, can't talk or walk, is fed via a stomach pump, and has occasional seizures. They arrived, we got him into the wheelchair and after I made a few adjustments it fit him well. The lady said she would take it and would go the bank next day.
Long story short she was trying to get a small loan to buy the chair. Seems Medicaid won't cover another chair for 2 years and the one he has just isn't working well anymore( I saw him in it, very poor fit). She is single and caring for her son 24/7, we can all relate to her story in some way or another. Anyway she didn't qualify for a loan so had no means of purchasing the chair. My wife and I talked it over and decided we should just give it to her, her son will really benefit from it. I called her back with the news and I think she cried on the phone for 5 minutes. The only thing I asked of her was if/when the time comes and her son doesn't need it anymore to just pass it along to the next person who does.
Dad bought and paid for it.... I just did the "leg work" to make sure it got where it's needed.
