I dont post stuff like this often, but I think this is one that should get some exposure.

4 year old needs wheelchair

This kid's wheelchair was in a car that was stolen, and it wasn't returned. Pretty sad stuff. I will be hitting US bank tommorow to make a nice donation.

yeap, shame on me too. I laughed when I read the topic summary.
 
Summary kind of misleading. I thought some guy just pushed the kid out of the wheelchair and just took it. but this is just as sad, especially since their car is stripped and basically worthless as well.

thats fvkcing bs. i cant believe some of the shlt people have to go through cause of anothers greed. We only live once, and some minds have to suffer through the priceless experience. Sometimes I just dont get it.
 
if you think that's fvcked up, there's some places in China that are so poor they steal the rivets of the railroad in order to sell the metal.

not too surprising. when i visited anhui (the poorest province in all of china) people there told me its not uncommon for people to sell organs- including their own BLOOD in order to support their children's education/food/needs.

Well, the meth heads do that here in Oregon. Usually they can't get the rivets out, so they steal road signs and try to cash in the metal at scrapyards. Less dangerous to the public, but still bad!
 
🙁 We buy wheelchairs, walkers (kid sized) at pawn shops and donate them to the Scottish Rite. Some pawn shops just give us the wheelchairs now.
