When the TACinterconnections Bulletin came up with the goods

Peter Limbrick writes -

In last year's December Bulletin a parent asked:  

'I wonder if you can help, my son is a wheelchair user, he is 8 years old, physio have advised that he cannot functionally self-propel his wheelchair and that it will have a detrimental effect on his long term posture and health.  I have long term health problems and as his primary carer have been trying to get a dual control power wheel chair for some considerable time now for my son.

We have been recently advised by our NHS Wheelchair provider that they will supply a dual control power wheelchair, fit it and maintain it for 3 years for a minimum cost of £2,200.

I realise I'm grasping at straws, but, we are not in a position to finance this ourselves.'

On the same day the Bulletin was mailed out, someone contacted the family and offered the necessary funds!  Thomas has already taken delivery.

What a wonderful piece of good news at this time of deep anxiety about cuts in provision!
