At Owner's Locker we're not exactly short on positive job reinforcement. Come on, we deliver fun. People love seeing us because we have their vacation stuff. But yesterday was a bit special and our job was even more satisfying than usual.

These three Lockers were delivered to Disney's Saratoga Springs resort for one family. We store that large box as well and I'd like to share a story about it.

The owners of these Lockers live in Scotland and visit Walt Disney World a couple of times a year. One of their sons is partially paralyzed as the result of a soccer injury and his time here has always been difficult. Two of the purple Lockers have medical equipment which had made their travels much easier for the last couple of years.

The parents recently contacted us about storing a special chair for their son and they had one custom made and shipped to us. That's what's in that box and we delivered it for the first time yesterday to their resort. They never thought it would be possible to have something like this for their trips to Orlando.

We're honored to store an item like this and I've got to tell you that dropping that off knowing that it would make life more comfortable for that young man really made us feel good.

The gang at bell services at Saratoga Springs were excited as well. That's Steve, Janet and Carlos.

Of course it's satisfying to know that we make our Members' vacations more fun. But knowing that we've helped someone be able to be comfortable and enjoy their time at Walt Disney World--that's REALLY nice

What an awesome story John, thanks for sharing! And what a lucky young man to have parents that care so much about him and his comfort. Here's hoping they have a magical trip!! :cloud9:
 
What a great story.....

Thanks for sharing!
 

What a beautiful story, I am all misty eyed reading it. What a blessing to be able to help this family make their vacation more comfortable and enjoyable. Thanks for sharing!
 
From someone who works for a non-profit whose goal is to put assistive technology like the chair you described together with those living and working with a disability,
thanks for both delivering this service to that young man and his family and for sharing the story on the dis.

What an upper!
 
Thanks for sharing! What a great reminder to us all about being thankful and helping others. :goodvibes
 
Teary-eyed in Ohio...but in a good way! Thanks for sharing.
 
I tell my son often to be thankful for everything we have, most of all our health. It seems that many have difficulties to endure that we cannot even imagine and how wonderful that you can help facilitate things to make these people's vacation just a little easier.
