Like a wheel

Life, like a wheel, goes around…and around…

A few years ago Variety was able to assist a young man named Zechariah. Zac is fully enjoying life, including his youth football team, which includes him (in his wheelchair) on the field for introductions during games. He’s an important part of the team and he loves it.

This year the team collected funds for a coach’s gift, but it was decided to gift Zac instead.  In “pay it forward” style, Zac’s family donated the money back to Variety as a thank you for the help received in the past.

Circle of life, circle of care and love.

Ironically, I recently was shopping at the plaza and saw a little boy in a wheelchair.  I introduced myself and gave the father my card, telling him that Variety is here if they would ever need help.

I found out later that it was Zac and his father!  Zac’s mother called to share the “small world” moment.  Is it a small world, or is it just proof positive that what goes around, comes around? 

Let’s keep the wheels turning for those in need,
