-=> Quoting Ed Grey to All <=-
EG> Since lack of money was a major consideration, I was exploring every
EG> option available to me. Through a very circuitous route I ended up at
EG> a commercial lift gate company that did considerable business
EG> installing adaptive equipment for the disabled. When I walked in a
EG> woman, whom I believe to be the daughter of the owner, asked me if I
EG> had had polio? I answered 'yes' and then she asked if I knew of the
EG> Polio Survivors Foundation, to which I told her 'no.' To make a long
EG> story short, several phone calls and no hassle later, the Polio
EG> Survivors Foundation purchased a used Bruno Curb-sider and paid to have
EG> it installed on my truck. I don't know anything about the organization
EG> except that they assisted me, without hesitation, on the basis of a 2
EG> minute phone conversation. The number to the Polio Survivors
EG> Foundation is 818-996-8733.
Hi Ed! Do you know if this is strictly a local organization, or does it
help PPs from other parts of the US? What area is area code 818?
EG> I wrote all of this to ask that if you have any type equipment, useful
EG> for Polio Survivors, that you at least consider donating them to this
EG> organization. I can attest to the fact that they can and will put it
EG> to good use. Please understand that the foundation in no way
EG> solicited, or even know anything about my making, this request. I just
EG> wanted to share my good fortune. Take care.
You can bet I'll keep this in mind. Actually, I'll keep it on my hard drive.
Hugs...Bob
... There can't be a crisis today; my schedule is already full.
