Mr. Pat's power wheelchair STOLEN!
Donation protected
My name's Melissa and I have known Pat for over 10 years. He's never let having a stroke stop him from living life to the fullest until the night of April 6th, when someone stole his powerchair while secured in his parking garage. His only mode of transportation! Stealing from the disabled?! He loves being outdoors exploring San Diego, eating good food, relaxing at the library, hanging out with family and friends, or catching a local concert. Without his powerchair he can't enjoy these things, let alone travel to necessary medical appointments. He's so keen with public transportation- getting himself from South Bay to East County and even North County. All because he is independent with his powerchair and the drive to explore!
Our goal is to get him back in the driver's seat of a new powerchair and replace the accessories he had outfitted on the stolen one. The secondary goal is to acquire a backup manual wheelchair and foldable ramp as he doesn't have these currently to even get him by!
If you know Mr. Pat, you know his humor, smile and love of being on the go!
