His friend had been using a regular wheelchair and his arms would get tired, so his dear friend saved enough and surprised him in class one day with a motorized wheelchair.
Friends for life, we need more stories like this right now.

Individuals with medical needs should have those needs met, no questions asked. We are the richest nation in the world (or close) and we should be able to provide for our vulnerable citizens.
Thank you for the post, JuJuYoshida.
