The other day when we were shopping at Morgan Street Thriftway, one of the checkers told us a troubling story. It seems the family that lives behind the store is forced to bring their disabled son there to use the bathroom, since the one in their house is completely inaccessible to a wheelchair.

This hits close to home for me because I, too, use a wheelchair fulltime for mobility. I can't imagine not having a bathroom in my house that I could use.

Surely there is some charitable organization out there that would be able to remodel this boy's bathroom. While I commend the staff at Thriftway for allowing this family to use their facilities in this way, what this family needs is some help from an outside source. Is there anybody out there willing to help them?
