When Lawrence Joe saw Nick Charlie struggling around the community with his manual wheelchair, he wondered what could be done to help.

So when Joe, a board member of the Duncan Lions Club, was approached by Paul Wheeler, who had an electric scooter that was used by his mother that he wanted to donate, Charlie came first to mind.

“The Lions like to take care of needy people and Nick, who has had his right leg amputated, really needed this scooter so we arranged it for him,” Joe said.

“He was really thankful.”
