Hi everyone, my name is Mark Sallada the owner of 911 Rapid Response llc. On April 23 2009 my wife, missy, and I had a baby girl Riley Joy Sallada. When she was born she was taken up to the NICU unit at the Hershey Medical Center to help her breath. While up there I noticed some of the cart type wheelchairs that the kids where in. The were boring looking.
I got together with John from Simply Wood, Joan from Sallada's Produce and decided to take control of building a new cool looking cart. The new car was painted red and will be decaled like a fire truck for the kids. The cart in the above photo will get cushions, wheels, decals and a flashing light. The kids will be able to be pushed or move themselves.
Im asking you as a friend to help us fill the cart with over 70 toys for the kids when we deliver this before Christmas. The deadline is Dec. 19th. The toys can be for all ages, from hard to soft toys. Nothing with batteries please. If you would, please wrap it and put a label on the bottom with what it is and the age group. I appreciate all your help.
