Dear Safeway & Muscular Dystrophy Canada,
Thank you....
Two words from our family to yours that convey so much....
Your generous Mobility Grant to help us fund an elevator for our home is just what we needed to complete our renovation plans to make our home more accessible for Evan. It will allow Evan more freedom and independence than you can imagine! But because you have so selflessly helped other families, just like us, you probably can. Close your eyes and picture this.... Evan getting himself into his own elevator, travelling down into our recreation room, out the elevator door, and to his final destination... his own playroom! Not to mention just being able to have access to his entire home!
Once again, thank you!
Very sincerely yours
Angela, Tim & Evan Mosco
