Last week, a grateful daughter and father took to Facebook to express their heartfelt thanks to Prosocial Support Services and its owner, Shae Patterson, for their exceptional assistance.
Angela Hampton asked the community if anyone had a wheelchair they could borrow for her terminally ill father, John Sharples. John sadly has stage 4 prostate cancer, and the doctors have given him 2 months to live.
Angela was unsure how to get her father, who was traveling from Brisbane, aboard the boat where they live. Without a car to transport her father, she thought having a wheelchair would make the process much easier.
Shae and Prosocial Support services jumped to the rescue and not only offered Angela and John a wheelchair but offered to transport it to them, as well as picking him up and dropping him off from the airport.
Angela expressed her gratitude to Shae:
“Not only did Shae offer to lend us a wheelchair for no cost, she also went and picked him up from the airport, and then organised for her sister to pick him and the wheelchair up from the marina and take him to the airport.”
This act of kindness allowed the family to spend some much needed quality time together, and Angela said her dad said it was “the highlight of his life.”
Shae wanted to let everyone know that the Whitsunday Prosocial Support Services, who are Independent support workers assisting NDIS and non-NDIS clients, are here to help.
