Help for Disabled

Re “The View From a Wheelchair,” Dec. 2: I need my walker, and I must sit frequently. I’m in Westchester. Strangers I encounter always are compassionate, thank God. Gelson’s Marina market has an electric wheelchair/shopping cart that is considerably easier to use than those in other markets. Once, when another shopper needed it, the manager had an employee help me into a wheelchair shopping cart. She pushed me through the large market, reaching and putting into the cart everything I needed. She did this at an easy pace, pleasantly. There are chairs along a wall and in the store’s coffee shop. All the employees seem to have had sensitivity training.

I pray that Deidre Sexton and others who are disabled have it easier, sooner, soon.
