Meg Moore, 20, is a sophomore at Fairfield University who has cerebral palsy. She needs a wheelchair to get around, and a device to communicate, but her wheelchair was falling apart. Held together by duct tape, she was clearly in need of a replacement, but her and her mother were having problems with insurance, which continually wouldn't go through. But her school saw what she was going through, and decided to take action. The staff and students banded together to raise money for a new $60,000 wheelchair for Meg. Many people pitched in, including the University's police department, and a few Fairfied alumni who helped negotiate the price. In the end, she received the wheelchair sooner than expected, and she can now easily get around.
This goes to show what people can accomplish when they work together to help someone out. Receiving the wheelchair was probably a huge turning point in Meg's life and education, and the fact that her school came together to help her receive it, it's a beautiful thing.
