The wheelchair that changed a family's life
Several ladies from Grace Brethern Church in Chico, CA, were carrying supplies to an orphanage the church sponsors in Zambia called "Seeds of Hope." Many suitcases of medical supplies, clothing and toys were packed and taken. In order to take a wheelchair along, one woman was assign to "ride" in the wheelchair the entire time. This allowed the ladies to take it on the plane without being charged.
The wheelchair was donated to Project SAVE from Dale Grismore, a gentleman with ALS, who has been a wonderful donor to Project SAVE for several years.
After arriving safely in Zambia, the ladies had a thrilling experience. One day, two young boys came in carrying their father. He was a widower who had lost his leg in a mining accident. The boys came seeking help for their father, a man with 11 children who was desperately trying to keep his family together.
Imagine the delight it was for everyone involved to be able to give this family Dale's wheelchair! The boys no longer had to carry their father - he now had some sense of independence and hope for a brighter future.
Thank you, Dale, for all you have given to Project SAVE. Your generosity has reached around the world!
