Tony with United Access has been working with the Car Santa for a van with a wheelchair lift for Shannon. We called her on the 101 The Fox Slacker Morning Show. Listen to her reaction

Hi I'm Lisa . I don't listen to your station but I have a special friend that does. He was telling me about the neat things you guys do at Christmas. He loves how you guys help people, and enjoys listening to the joy you give. His name is Bill. He's just a guy that in my opinion deserves a break. He's a ex Army Ranger  with 2 Purple Hearts who has defended his Country in 2 wars,and, as is his luck I've come to realize, has been forgotten by his Country.

I know your program gets alot of requests & I pray this comes by your desk,  I want to share an amazing young lady veteran who would be so humbled, and blessed by a vehicle, here's a portion of her story:

 My Husband Bruce has just had back surgery and cant work right now and we could really use a car. We have a 2yr old girl that is a liver post transplant and we have to get her to many doctor appointments and labs and Bruce needs to get to therapy. We rely on friends and family to get there now or the bus but she can get sick easily now that the weather is getting bad.

A few months ago, Rodney came home from work and was told he could not enter the house because they were getting a divorce. Shortly after that, Rodney's truck needed a new motor and he didn't have the money so he sold it to a friend of the mechanic. He lives in LIberty in a small camper. He has walked to work several different times and it takes about 2-1/2 hours to walk. He is usually at the store between 6-7 a.m.  that means he has to leave the camper around 4:30 a.m.  My husband takes him to work on Sundays usually, but due to our work hours cannot do it during the week.

This is one of the hardest things I have ever had to do but don't know where else to turn.  My husband is a Vietnam Vet who is disabled not service connected yet still fighting that battle.  He has multiple problems a pituitary tumor, peripheral neuropathy, PTSD, emphysema COPD to name a few.   I too have problems arthritis that has made it very painful to walk or stand for any length of time and Atrial Fibrilation.  These things cause us to have many doctor appointments and we also still have two teenagers at home.
