Let's make Shannell's home wheelchair accessible!
"Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor:
If either of them falls down, one can help the other up.
But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up." Ecc.4:9-10
Imagine the unthinkable happens and you find yourself disabled and using a wheelchair. Everyday life outside of your home is difficult enough. Lining up help to get to the grocery store, get kids to school, get to medical appointments-----all of that is difficult at best.
But, what about life inside your own home? What if your wheelchair would not fit into your bathroom? Your kitchen? Your bedroom? What if your life became limited to conducting all of your activities from a bed in your living room?
Shannell's life is just that. Daily activities that we all take for granted are impossible for her to conduct with dignity and ease.
And---Shannell would be the last person to talk about it. We all know her. She is the first to help others and the last to ask for help for herself.
And---she is the last to remind anyone that she and her two children were the caregivers for her mother, her father, and her aunt. Each of these wonderful family members lived out their days in their own homes because Shannell marshalled the resources to make it happen. All three were bedridden and were cared for until their home-going.
It's hard to believe but there just aren't many resources available to make homes wheelchair accessible. We have done due diligence and found that most programs are loans. Shannell has obtained some help to begin renovations, but more help is going to beneeded to complete the work. We have found a contractor willing to oversee the process.
That's where YOU come in. Shannell is not without resources. Ecclesiastes says, "pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up." But Shannell is not without anyone to help her up because she has friends!
Shannell is NOT alone.
Let's show her that.
Let's do this.
Let's make Shannell's home wheelchair accessible!
We're asking that every friend of Shannell contribute. No gift is too small. This is an “all in” call.
Thank you!
