The team started out the second day of outreach tired and stiff, but ready to go. As usual, there were less chairs from which to choose, so modifications were often necessary. A familiar scene at a Joni and Friends Wheels for the World outreach is seeing a mechanic (or sometimes therapist or support person) lying under a wheelchair making adjustments.
The mechanics were kept busy modifying chairs and walkers.
Everywhere you looked, the team was busy. Seating specialists working with the patients, mechanics adjusting chairs, support people creating cushions and seats (among numerous other tasks), and the tailor busy sewing on his machine.
Many people’s stories touched us as we served on Tuesday. Javier was 23 years old when he was involved in an accident and lost his left leg. Not long afterwards he read the Joni book. He found encouragement reading about another young person who had been involved in a life-changing accident. He found that he could relate to what she had been through.
