Gene, its been a while since I have logged on and I thank you for all
your help. I now have a different request. My wife's uncle is a quadraplegic.
They have a hoist to put him into vehicles. The problem is they don't
have a vehicle that will work with a hoist. He called me to ask me
to pray about them getting a van with a hoist so that the family could
go places together (mainly church). Now if the handicap Dart van isn't
unavailable they go to the same places but not together. I told him
I would put feet to those prayers by calling this BBS. When I told
him about this BBS he immediatly stopped talking about himself and
asked me to check about a neighbor who is on social security and can't
push his wife in her wheelchair anymore ( She either has M.S. or M.D.)
I have to love a guy like that. Any information you or any one else
on this BBS can give me will be greatly appreciated.
                      With Love and Respect
                       Curtis Patton
