A disabled woman who is a regular guest at Expanding the
Table had a recent traumatic experience.
During the night she was a victim of a home invasion while she
slept. Thankfully she was unharmed. The intruders kicked in her door and stole
her fanny pack with her wallet etc. that was located just inside the door. She lost her ID cards, food stamps and $150
in cash. Change for a Dollar was asked
for assistance. The apartment
maintenance man did not do a very good job on repairing her door dead bolt /door
jamb so C4$ helped make it more secure.
When we inquired as to what her other needs were she said she really
needed a new manual wheelchair that she was saving for to use in the
house. She uses a motorized one when venturing
outside. Change for a Dollar assisted by
getting her a new wheel chair. Other
volunteers have assisted in getting her documentation, etc. replaced as well.
Manual wheelchair - $171.19
