A walking buddy is needed for this New London area lady who wants to visit the senior center. This bright and enthusiastic lady is totally driven to get out and experience the world - she has been practicing daily to regain muscle strength and walks with a walker. She can transfer independently from wheel chair to walker but needs a van buddy to ride the shuttle to the senior center and to go outside of her residential facility. Two trips on the bus per week are the goal. If you are already going to the senior center, this is an easy way for you to assist your neighbor and change her day for the best!
