Help Now	Disabled Senior Needs Car Repairs to Work We work with a senior client who lives and works in Shakopee. She had a stroke several years ago and lives with brain atrophy and memory loss as a result. She is still able to work and tries very hard to remain as independent as possible. She has her own car and drives herself to/from work every day. However, her car is in desperate need of repairs that are estimated to cost about $2,000. She lives on a very tight income and is unable to afford this cost. Please consider donating to help cover the cost of her car repairs.

Help Now	Sports Wheelchair for Active Young Man This individual is a young man who is living with the effects of paraplegia resulting from a spinal cord injury. He relies on a manual wheelchair to meet his mobility needs. He is inspirational in his motivation and very active lifestyle as he strives to reach his highest potential and level of independence both at home and in the community. He attends college and works out regularly at a gym. He strives to “step” outside of his comfort zone to challenge himself to become the best person he can be both physically and mentally. He recently discovered adaptive sports to include activities such as kayaking, basketball, softball, skiing and golfing and is ecstatic about the potential for further participation in them. He has been able to experience some of these sports with the use of a loaner sports wheelchair designed for these types of activities and wants to participate in adaptive team sports. He has been able to obtain a grant to put towards obtaining his own sports wheelchair but is in need of additional funds to cover the total cost. His current grant will expire at the end of this year so he has limited time to come up with the extra funds.

The cost of the hotel stay will be $634.80 and any contribution amount would be greatly appreciated! This situation has had quite an emotional impact on the parents and children alike. Any contribution you are able to make would be hugely beneficial for their family to maintain health and safety. Thank you!!
