Brown: Sunshine Service really great group in Sun City

I’m a newcomer to Sun City and suffer from a neuro-muscular disease.

As anyone with a disability can attest, assistive equipment is expensive. I knew I would have to get a new wheelchair, scooter, walker and shower chair once we arrived. My old ones were worn out and most wouldn’t fit in the Uhaul. I dreaded the bill and hoped to find used equipment once we got here.

Imagine my surprise when I saw an ad for Sushine Service in the Independent! I was skeptical. Surely there had to be a catch but I called anyway. “Come right over,” they told me. I was shocked when I walked in the building. What a warm welcome and all sorts of equipment was now available to me — for free!

Jim Sinclair and the entire staff and volunteers are to be commended. Sun City has changed my life in so many ways but I have to say the Sunshine Service has literally made it possible for me to live again. I was almost completely homebound and now I have the world open to me again.

I want to thank Sunshine Service with all my heart. They have no idea what a blessing they are.
