Another Collecter of Used Wheelchairs

When I saw the Sunday Northwest Herald headline,

“Drive collects rehab equipment for poor,”

I thought I was going to read a story about the Woodstock-based The American Disabled Equipment Fund, a group holding a charity rock event on July 28th at the Penny Lane Pub. I wrote about it last Friday.

But, no.

It was about a California-based ministry called Joni and Friends.

Driving hither and yon, I have listen to Joni Eareckson Tada on WMBI every once in a while.

NW Herald reporter Regan Foster wrote that used wheel chairs, crutches and walkers can be taken to New Life Book Store in the Crystal Lake Plaza through July 14th. Leo Wiedenfeld, is heading up the “10 Days to Independence” collection effort.

Both appear to be commendable organizations.
