Trips to the countryside for Lillian and Dennis
Lillian and Dennis Mulligan live in Nottinghamshire and both have health problems.
Dennis now has Asbestosis and Lillian has great difficulty in walking.
Pushing a wheelchair for someone with this complaint, is to say the least, difficult. Dennis approached the EEIBA to ask whether we would be able to help them to purchase an electric scooter - one that would easily dismantle and store in his car, so that they could continue to enjoy getting out into the countryside.
John Westwood, Regional Welfare Officer, for their area moved quickly to their aid touring the local disability suppliers to find one that was ideal for their needs.
Lillian and Dennis were overwhelmed with the charity's generosity and are looking forward to the better weather when they will be able to enjoy the countryside again.
This year the charity is requesting your help by supporting the 2008 Christmas Card Appeal.
