It is wonderful to read of the community's response to the theft of the elderly man's 3-wheel bike; to know that it's been replaced, and that the stolen one was found. With so many responding, I'm wondering if that same compassion could be extended to a disabled gentleman as well?
Walter Parr had his electric 3-wheel bike stolen a few months ago, but it was never found and there hasn't been any community support to replace it. Walter suffers from a progressive disease that will eventually confine him entirely to a wheelchair. His electric 3-wheel bike was his means of being able to get around his neighborhood safely. Can some of the folks who readily stepped up to help the elderly man also reach out to help Mr. Parr? It would make his world so much better!
