STAND UP DUB
Referring to a man as a ‘stand up’ kind of guy is a compliment. It generally means he’s the kind of guy every respects and admires. E.W. (Dub) Shupe is certainly that kind of man.
First, he’s a true family man- a great husband and father. He is a remarkably hard working salesman at Lowes in Galax. He’s a great friend and neighbor in the Fries area. Dub is skilled horseman and mechanic. There are so many things Dub does well, but the one thing he cannot do is STAND.
E.W. mysteriously contracted an infection in his spinal fluid in 2003 that resulted in his being paralyzed from the waist down. At that point, Dub and his wife, Angela, started facing the life-long challenges together. It was his commitment and intent to maintain every aspect of life as independently as possible and his life since the paralysis reflects that commitment.
Dub works at Lowes and his wife, Angela, at Mount Rogers Community Service Board. They have a young daughter and contribute positively in every area of their lives.
But now it’s time for the communities they love and serve to help them.
Dub desperately needs to relieve the otherwise constant stress of his body weight on his back and seat. Without such relief, skin problems create constant infection and significant health risks.
There is an option. Friends are asking you to help us provide a TRACK CHAIR for Dub. This chair is visible on the internet and is designed to allow an otherwise wheelchair bound individual stand erectly. It would allow him to stand to work on a car engine or hunt – even move about his job site in a standing position – again alleviating the stress and pressure to him otherwise. The chair is produced specifically for people like Dub. It is sold in Virginia and can be purchased as soon as we have the money for it. Can you help?
A group of friends are leading this cause -- and committed to doing this for Dub as soon as possible. PLEASE join us and help as much as you can -- enlist your friends to help- spread the news.
