I went to Lawrenceburg, IN, and I was
transferring into my wheelchair from my car with my Mom in a parking
garage. I heard someone sitting behind our car, and when I was
situated, I turned around and saw a young black man in a wheelchair (a
regular hospital chair not evaluated and fit to his needs). He said,
"How do you do that, get out of you car like so?" I said, "It has
taken hard work to learn the sliding technique. I slide on a
transfer board to the front seat." He then said, "Do you think you
could help me? I do not have a chair like that so I can go out to
the mall and stuff like that. I told him to give me his phone number
and I would call him with resources, a way to do things, and that I would
walk him through this and get him the things that he needed to become
independent. I had never seen this person in my entire life, but he
needed help and he called upon a stranger in a parking garage. God
works in mysterious ways. My question to
everyone is if you know about any good support groups, or Independent
Living Centers in Hamilton Co., OH? I will be
calling him to discuss his situation, and his different needs, and I want
to be prepared to answer all his questions thoroughly. I am not
familiar with the State of Ohio, so if anyone can send me info, it would
be appreciated.
***Hello everyone! I hope you are doing fine.
Keep your heads up, because tomorrow the sun will rise
again.
