Please excuse the bandwidth for this message, but I am looking for a
wheelchair and funds to ship it to Dominica, J7. This is for my close friend,
Lambert
Charles, J73LC, who needs it immediately for his ailing mother. Lambert is
not able to find a wheelchair locally in Dominica.
I know that many of you have worked J7 operations over the past several years
- J7OJ, J75KG, J7A, J75KG, J79JRC, J79APS and J79MM. It is Lambert who has
made these trips possible. It was Lambert who, on a moments notice, got the
J7OJ callsign for the ARRL DX CW contest in February.
If anyone can donate a used chair, I know he would be most appreciative. I
can buy a new or used chair and ship it via Amerijet airfreight out of Miami.
I don't know the prices of chairs, either new or used, but I can easily find
that out. Shipping will probably run in the order of $200.
If any of you are so moved and can donate a wheelchair, or would like to make
a cash contribution for a chair or its shipping, please contact me. This is
an urgent matter; even if I somehow acquired a chair today, it would be
another week or so before I can get it to Dominica. Please respond to me by
email.
Thank you so much for your consideration.

Hi George,
Thanks for the response and the concern. My mother is still the same, and it
hurts me to see her as she continues to experience
Pain both day and night. She needs to get out of that bed and move around
before bed-sores start setting in.
This is where the wheel-chair comes in. Frankly, I canât think of an outfit
around here where I can purchase a wheelchair.
Therefore, our best bet is to secure up North.
I have no idea what the cost might me, but our problem will be shipping. I
will have to hit my head a few places to see how we can get it here.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Best Regards,
Lambert J73LC.
