in and out of the trunk" and Mr. Sokol "try and hold the baby or carry grocery items as he shuffles his feet to move his chair." Thankfully, Ms. Simpson says the new power wheelchair will "ultimately benefit the whole family and allow them to just have more fun together."

Doug Harrison, CEO and founder of The SCOOTER Store, said, "Having a family is rewarding and challenging, and we are so happy to help lessen this family's challenges by allowing Mr. Sokol to be mobile and independent with a power wheelchair."

Mr. Harrison and his wife, Susanna, started the Gift of Mobility program in December 2002 to help people like Mr. Sokol improve their quality of life by recovering their independence and mobility. Since then, the outreach program has worked with organizations around the country to donate power wheelchairs, scooters and manual wheelchairs valued at more than $200,000 a year to individuals and community service organizations, enabling them to provide freedom and independence to people with limited mobility.
