Veteran gets help after his wheelchair was stolen

Someone had absolutely no compassion for Bill Lamb when they decided to take his wheelchair. What type of person is so self-absorbed they would do something like this? I have no clue. I wonder if the person knew God was watching him/her when this was done? Does this person read the news reports and feel guilt? Does this person look at the money gained if the wheelchair was sold and think they deserve to hold that money in their hand more than this disabled veteran deserved to be able to get around? Does this person have any conscience at all?

The good news is that compassionate people stepped up to help and to make Bill Lamb's life easier after this. Their acts of compassion are greater than any act of selfishness the criminal could ever hope to know.

FARR WEST -- Bill Lamb couldn't have received a better birthday present.

After having his electric Jazzy wheelchair stolen from his carport last week, Lamb wasn't sure how he'd get around. A U.S. Air Force veteran, Lamb suffers from arthritis that makes it impossible to walk more than 15 feet at time.

Today, on his 67th birthday, his luck changed when a man called his home, offering the use of his wife's Jazzy wheelchair, until he can replace it through the Department of Veteran Affairs.
