Would you give the gift of mobility?
A few weeks ago, I was contacted through my Youtube channel by a young man looking for someone to build him some sort of power assist mobility device to carry him and his wheelchair.
Without going into detail here, I referred him to Atomiczombie.com where folks with the kind of design and fabricating skills needed to do such a thing hang out.
Well, some very capable people have stepped forward to make this project a reality, but they are in need of donations to defray expenses.
you can read all about how this has developed, including my involvement in it here.

If you can help in any way, technically, logistically or financially, it would be much appreciated.
The Project Freedom donation page is now live at https://projectfreedom.bbnow.org/
Thanks.

My grandsons play in a basketball league that is organized by a local church. One week, at halftime a fellow gave a presentation about providing wheelchairs for people in 3rd world countries who otherwise have to literally crawl in the dirt. He said they can provide a no-frills chair for $40.00 or $50.00 so I paid for one.
I can't save the world but I can make one person's life a little better.
