DAYTONA BEACH, FL - The Daytona Beach Fire Department’s Community Paramedicine Officer, Travis Anderson, learned about a local homeless man who had been basically stranded in front of the post office for several days because his wheelchair was inoperable.

Through contacts, Anderson was able to find a local thrift store who was interested in donating one of their wheelchairs to the CPO program to provide to the man in need. After picking up the wheelchair and inspecting and cleaning it, Anderson went to the post office where he knew the man would be and surprised him with the new, working wheelchair.

The individual was brought to tears and beyond excited to receive this donation.
