After An Injured Vet Waits 2 Years For A Wheelchair, These Lowe’s Employees Do What The VA Won’t
In 1971, I stepped on a land mine in Vietnam and lost both legs above the knee.
For the past two years, I have been waiting to receive a new wheelchair from the Veterans Administration. In addition, I have been told that I am not entitled to a spare wheelchair.
On the evening of July 7, my wheelchair fell apart again, while shopping at Lowe’s Home Improvement Center in on Forest Avenue in Mariners Harbor.
Three employees, David, Marcus, and Souleyman jumped to my assistance immediately. They placed me in another chair while they went to work.
They took the wheelchair apart and replaced the broken parts and told me, “We’re going to make this chair like new.â€
I left 45 minutes after closing hours in my wheelchair that was like new.
The difference between the public sector and the private sector is that you are far more likely to find someone who gives a shit in the private sector.
I never liked the orange guys commercials anyway. They always slide into the male in the commercial is either wrong and/or idiot trope. After the third one debuted last fall, I stopped going to their store and made repeated trips across the street to the blue guys.
