The D&W Group of Companies donated five new adult wheelchairs to the Commonwealth Health Center Wednesday morning.<\/p>\n
The new wheelchairs, each costing about $600, were accepted by Department of Public Health Secretary Dr. James U. Hofschneider and other DPH staff.<\/p>\n
G&W executive administrator Enoch Sungsoo Lim said the donation of the wheelchairs serves as a way for D&W to give back to the community. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe get business because of the community, and we\u2019re giving back and sharing what we can,\u201d he said. \u201cWe donated just five wheelchairs because we\u2019re on a tight budget, but hopefully we can give more next year.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lim said he read a month back that the hospital, especially the hemodialysis section, was in need of wheelchairs, giving them the idea of donating some.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re living in a small community, so we all have to share,\u201d he said. \u201cThe community helps us, so we help the community in whatever way we can.\u201d<\/p>\n
D&W human resources manager John DL. Guerrero said the donation was an \u201cearly Christmas present\u201d for hospital and community members.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a good present for the hospital and everyone coming to the hospital,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s needed right now.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lim, also general manager for sister company Wushin Corp., also disclosed that a $1,000 donation was contributed to the man\u2019amko earlier that morning. <\/p>\n
Wushin Corp. operates as a liquid petroleum gas distributor, while D&W operates Shell gas stations including establishments in Puerto Rico, Dandan, Koblerville and the Highway Express and Tires and Lubes in Gualo Rai.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
