This is an EIO Special Tomato push chair. The back is higher and it has a wonderful foot rest. It has big wheels and all kinds of nice features that will allow Luke to be comfortable without having to get a wheelchair. I knew it would take some time, but I wanted Luke to have the best.
I set it in my mind that I would start selling things (of mine and the three kids) in order to save money to make this $500 purchase. I updated my status on Facebook asking my FB friends if they were interested in buying some specific items. From that status update, I began receiving feedback from a couple of people wanting to help. This truly blew me away. I did not expect people to want to give us anything.
Honestly, I had been going through a funky phase of truly questioning my faith. I was going through some sort of emotional and spiritual fight in myself. I never realized that people, outside of my family, really cared anything about what we were going through. So, a few people came out and stated that they wanted to help financially. A gift certificate was purchased and a couple checks were sent. Then, my Mother called and said that we had a package at their house. It was the stroller. The exact stroller I wanted for Luke had been paid for and shipped to my parents' house. The person wished to stay anonymous, so my mother gave no opinion as to who it could have been from.
There were just no words at that moment. God really did care! He was taking care of Luke and taking care of us. I did not deserve this, but God chose to bless our family anyway. Wow.
