“ I picked up a wheelchair, rollator Walker and commode... Was able to pick up a brand new Rolllater in Newark the other day and on the way home at a red light I saw a weary looking disabled women with a broken Walker and made her day when I got out of my car and asked if she could use it, she was ecstatic!!”
