NEED REFERRALS FOR BOSTON AREA SHOPS!!!!!! PLEASE POST WITH YOUR INFO AND READ MORE BELOW TO FIND OUT WHY. NEED HELP GUYS!
Well this might not be what you guys were thinking. For some of you that know me I was paralyzed and left in a wheelchair about 2 1/2 years ago. After spending 6 months in the hospital and a year in rehab at another hospital I found my way to a spinal cord recovery center in Carlsbad, CA called Project Walk. This center is ahead of its time and growing quickly. They are expanding to other country's as well as across the country and are in need of some assistance.
Besides being one of their clients, I have had the pleasure of getting to work with these people to help them out. You see in the spinal cord injury (SCI) world not to much stuff exists that can be used or purchased without much modification. As such I took it on to help out with some adapting of equipment and making of equipment when needed for Project Walk that simply does not exist otherwise. Well here is where I and they need help. Project Walk is opening a new center next month in Boston, MA. Because they are going to be on the East Coast I will not be able to continue to make the modifications for them on their equipment like I have been out here in So Cal. I need to find a couple of people or shops that would be willing to help them out. I have been donating my time and resources, material, etc. to them but they will also pay the normal rates for work to be done as well. Modifications needed would be minor fabrication of brackets, making a A-Frame for a hoist and trolley used to lift paitients, welding extra handles on exercise equipment, etc. I will still be continuing to make some of their exercise equipment and other more complicated items out here and shipping them to them but ideally we would like to be able to find someone local to the Boston area to help take this over as well. If you think you might know if a person, shop or business please call me at 760-716-4472 or email me at
chris@lucrumind.com. Any of our customers who are in the Boston area and can make a referral would be greatly appreciated. Again this is not some big rich business, this is a place that is getting paralyzed people to walk and works their but off to help others. Check out their website at
Project Walk®- Spinal Cord Injury Recovery to learn more about them or contact me again for more info on them as well. This place took me from sick and hardly able to get out of my wheel chair with no use of my body from the chest down to being able to stand and work on my car using one hand to balance!!! They have helped me and many others and in the spirit of off-roading and our mechanical knowledge I would ask all of us to take a minute to think about this and help them. Thanks everyone!!!!
