Docelius PropheteVolunteers:

Did you pack PET cart serial number 866 on November 6, 2010?

This story comes directly from one of our Haitian partners delivering Haiti Disaster Relief, the Love A Child ministry (www.loveachild.com).  The PET carts they picked up from us last November (see story and video below) are finally being received by the most needy, and now most appreciative, people in Haiti.

"The man above is Doceluis Prophete and he is 32 years old. He was raised in a family that farmed for a living, and when not in school, he spent most of his time in the garden.  Over the past four years, he has lost the use of his legs.  Since he was unable to walk, he stopped going to the garden and became house bound.  He has not been able to get around for a very long time.

Now, because of a blessing from P.E.T. - Personal Energy Transportation, he received a very nice cart that allows him a little bit of independence.  He is a large man so the chair had to be revamped, but he is thrilled to be out and about again.  He doesn't want to get off the scooter, he is on it from morning until the sun goes down.  We are thankful that this little scooter can give this man a little hope."

Thanks, Love A Child for all you do!
