Wanted: Wheelchair for Iraqi Translator
Matt, a soldier serving in Iraq, blogs about an Iraqi translator who has been maimed by a terrorist attack and needs a wheelchair.
Kevin is now carried everywhere by his family in a folding chair because his family cannot afford a wheelchair. This is obviously not practical. More importantly though, it is extremely painful for him to be transported in this fashion due to his substantial internal injuries.
(Learn more about Kevin's story.)
Bloggers are trying either to collect enough money to buy him a chair or find someone willing to donate a wheelchair.
If you're able to and wish to donate to help this Iraqi man whose life was almost taken away by a terrorist attack, go to The Military Vote and paypal a little bit of money to help out. Alternatively, you can go to the same site and let David, the blog's owner, know that you're able to donate a wheelchair.
If you have a blog, feel free to pass this around.

Hey Oyarsa,
I just wanted to personally extend my hand in gratitude for showing your support. We (the guys and myself, matt, will, and the rest of us), are steadily gaining more and more pride in our fellow man through this endeavor. I appreciate your help, kind gesture, and first and foremost your willingness to help out the soldiers. I can now say beyond any shadow of a doubt i'm at my proudest moment in my military career, my life as an American, and my existence in this world. Thank you so much.
Love and respect.
Spc. David H. McDonell II,
Thank you for taking the time to comment in my blog. My thoughts and prayers will remain with you and the other soldiers in Iraq and elsewhere.
It is I who am honored to be able to do even the smallest favor for our servicemen and women. If there's anything else I can do, send me an email or post a comment anywhere within my blog.
