FOUNTAIN HILLS, Ariz., June 16, 2016 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Sandra Kniffin is 83 years old and spends 95% of her life in a wheelchair. This spunky woman is a stroke survivor which has left her completely paralyzed on the left side of her body. While Sandra is a positive, upbeat woman, her outlook on life was bleak as she spent hours stuck inside watching life from a window.

When Advocates for Individuals with Disabilities Foundation received Sandra's grant application, she had mentioned an electric scooter would be life-changing and allow her to once again be interactive with her friends and neighbors and allow her the freedoms to enjoy hobbies and humans.
"Freedom. In one word, that is what this scooter means to me, freedom," Sandra told AID.org when she came to pick up the gift at their location.
When Sandra arrived on location she was welcomed by the entire staff of the AID.org Foundation. Spokesperson, Jennifer Rogers said, "Sandra is a gift to all of us to know life is too short to spend it stuck inside. AID Foundation thrives on gifting medical equipment that creates independence, mobility, inclusion and builds confidence."
