D. Anecdote

I am recovering from hip surgery. The wheelchair provided by the SC Assistive Technology Reuse Service made it possible for me to access the USC football stadium to watch the game with my grandson and his family and to tour the USC campus the next day. Having the wheelchair was essential to the success of my visit. I am very thankful for the reuse service.-Sarah
