The Big Favour: A wheelchair for a hero

Siziphiwe wrote in to The Big Favour telling us about a fellow member of her church congregation, 16-year-old Msa.

Msa has been disabled from birth, and lives with his unemployed mother in Indaleni township just ourtside Richmond.

Msa had been struggling all his life with a tiny, broken old wheelchair, meaning his mother had to often carry him - sometimes up to four kilometres to church on gravel roads.

Come rain or shine, Msa and his mother would make a plan to get him around - whether it be chugging along on the dirt roads in his rickety wheelchair, or over his mom's shoulder.

But, thanks to Neville and his team at Shelf-Tec, Msa's life has changed forever.

No stranger to The Big Favour, Neville donated a custom-fitted, brand new wheelchair to Msa. 

This means no more struggling along or being tossed over his mom's shoulder for hours on end.

Thank you, Neville. Your generosity is appreciated.
