A conversation, a call, some emails and texts and the result
…. caring community connections to help a family.
It began with Trish Dilg of Donate. Local. Simple, having a chat with the Wagner family who were trying to locate a new home for their trusty mini-van. Trish knew we helped families with medical transportation and so the call to us. An email from the Wagners and an assurance from us that the van would go to a family and not to the crusher or sold for parts. We were sure we could find a new home for the van. We remembered a conversation with Nicole Dunn of Turn To Us, one of our non-profit partners, about a family that had a very small car and the difficulty they were having getting the daughter’s wheelchair into the trunk. Another phone call, a few texts and it all came together. Chrysanthra’s wheelchair fit perfectly in the back of the van and now there is enough space for her, her mom and her 3 siblings in the newly named “Green Bean”. A few gas cards for travel to Sloan Kettering in NYC for appointments and the family is all set. Thanks again to Trish Dilg, Mr & Mrs. Wagner and Nicole Dunn for this team effort in making a positive difference for a local family.
Angels at work!!! I am in awe how each of our abilities to be a link in the chain to extending kindness when we connect! Great accomplishment! Blessings and joy to all!
