Progress

Okay - so quickly, let me tell you what’s going on.

Tom’s wonderful friends since childhood had been trying to figure out how to get the bathroom remodeled since we moved in here.  They are more than capable of doing the work, they just needed the funding…

Then, about a month ago, out of the blue, one of these friends calls and says that he’s opened a Home Depot credit card with the sole intention of making our bathroom wheelchair accessible.  Isn’t that just amazing?!

I’d love to be able to pay him back, and hopefully over time I will be able to give him some money.  Let alone finding a way to pay back all of Tom’s friends that have come over to help out with the remodel…

I mean, how do you say thank you enough for something like this?

The guys have been here long hours over the weekend, and have their regular jobs through the week, but plan on coming over straight from work… I’m just so amazed.  They’re shooting for it to be done by Wednesday…

We are blessed.  Thank you God for placing these wonderful people in our lives.

And, for all of you that did donate to the bathroom originally, again, we THANK YOU, too!!  Without all of you, Tom wouldn’t have transportation… which, in all honesty, is more important than the shower!

    did you measure to see that both you and tom can get in the shower together?

    maybe the next thing for you to strive for is a computer desk maid

    Fab - Isn’t it great?! It makes me all warm and fuzzy inside.

    Blue - There’s no need to have us both get in there at once. And, I could definitely use a computer desk maid… know of one off hand?
