The
first time I did this, I didn't know how to find a person who needed
a wheelchair. After many phone calls, I found that not only were
the people at President's Choice Children's Charity willing to help
me, but they also decided to contribute to the wheelchair.
We
bought that first wheelchair on October 3, 2006 for a little boy
named Ricardo.
Then
it got even better.
President's
Choice Children's Charity set up "The Robert Hampson Tabs for
Kids” Fund.
I
collect the tabs and turn them into money, and they find kids who
need wheelchairs and related equipment. In the fall of 2007, we
bought a car lift for a girl in Corner Brook, Newfoundland.
Now,
in July of 2008 we are ready for our next purchase.
It's
amazing how something as small as a pop can tab can grow so big.
And that's what you can do with a pop can tab!
