A Knights Charity Knows No Bounds!

KNIGHTS CHARITY HAS NO BOUNDS

There is no better proof of that statement than the recent effort put forth by dd404, John

Huyge, MI and St Peters council 12178 in Naples, Fl. This opportunity presented itself

to us with 1100 miles between point A and point B. Former clients, an elderly couple

suffering from various health issues, found that they could no longer make the trip back

home without help. Just getting to the airport became an herculean task since the

husband, now wheelchair bound was too heavy for his wife to safely maneuver. Knights

to the rescue, through the efforts of dd404 a member of council 8687 Transportation

was provided to the Gerald R Ford Airport in Grand Rapids, MI, but only half the battle

was won… in Naples they needed to move into the home of their son while the barrier

free remodeling construction at their home was being completed, no ramp and a 25”, 5

step rise at the temporary home. A request for assistance went out to St Peters council

12178 in Naples and within 48 hours the team was identified that would meet at the

home and carry the husband, in his wheelchair, into the house.

At a very difficult time in the lives of this couple, the Knights, 1100 miles apart pitched in

and reduced the level of anxiety, as you can see in the picture, please pray for these

folks and thank God for the Knights of Columbus. VIVAT JESUS
