Dear Members of the State Council for Persons with Disabilities and the State Legislature:

Thank you so very much for making it possible for me to have this wonderful Bruno Joey lift and Pride Victory scooter through your SCPD Traumatic Brain Injury Trust Fund. My family has taken apart and then put together first a power chair and then scooters into a station wagon for almost twenty years.

Because I was able to get the Bruno Joey Lift and the Pride Victory scooter through the SCPD Brain Injury Trust Fund my parents were able to make the big decision to buy a minivan. Now, the scooter can be lifted into the van automatically with the Bruno Joey lift. The scooter that I was able to receive through the Brain Injury Trust Fund is a much sturdier scooter than I am currently using. We used lighter weight scooters especially for my mother and my p.a.'s to be able to load and unload. The lighter weight scooters are not very safe on many uneven sidewalks and get stuck in the grass.

I am delighted with the scooter and lift and I cannot tell you have much easier they make it for me to be a part of my community, which I value very much. I thank you for making these monies possible for traumatic brain injury survivors. I know there are many more people like me who need services not covered by insurance.

Sincerely yours,
-- Anne H. Dunlap
