Donate Medical Supplies

Maria saved her son’s life that cost her the ability to walk without assistance.

The day after AED received a walker with a seat was the day we learned about this courageous mother. Her son ran out in the street, she saw the car coming. She was fast enough to get her child out of harms way but not fast enough to save herself from being hit. It was our pleasure to get to know this amazing woman and family. We are grateful to an individual who decided that someone else could benefit from a walker she had no more use for. It wasn’t 24 hours between receiving this walker and getting the call asking for one.
