First Wheel Chair Distribution

By Marc

I would like to say that I am sorry that I have not posted much on the blog on the last couple days, but the fact of the matter is that we have been too busy and having too much fun for me to even think about the blog.

Yesterday was our first scheduled distribution.  We had previously assembled 300 chairs and in the morning we were to hand them all out.   Here is a pic with about 3/4 of the wheelchairs.

Unfortunately, things dont’ always go as planned and the distribution was a bit chaotic.  As good Canadians we just went with the flow.

The day was quite the emotional roller coaster ride.  Although we were feeling good about all the people we were helping, it was obvious that so much more is needed here.   The best way I could describe it was that the day was very heavy on my heart.    I’m still processing all my feelings about it, so I will leave it at that for now.

Here are a few pics of the day.

The recipients and their families patienly waiting for their chairs.  The Navy band at the back played music for us too!

Another happy recipient.
