This is my friend and good brother Roger Hazelwood that you see in this picture.
Roger is a very dear and sweet man that is a gospel preacher in Rich Creek, VA.
For many years, Roger has suffered with Muscular Dystrophy and does not have the ability that many of us do to "walk to the pulpit", or even walk on his own to live a normal routine in his life.
Roger has been through several challenges this past year. A few months back, his electric wheelchair broke down. Being on permanent disability, he relied on Medicaid to help out.
After several months of red tape, Roger and his family were refused a new wheelchair because it had been less than 5 years since he had gotten this one.
As you can imagine, this has caused a great dilemma not only in his ministry, but also in his own every day life.
Roger is not a complainer though. He has laid out his challenges in a humble manner that most of us would not be able to reproduce as it would seem.
His church family loves and supports him. His own family loves and supports him. His friends love and support him.
Roger recently was told that he would have to re-apply for permanent disability on top of this setback on the wheelchair. That is straightened out now, but will take a few weeks to get his normal check that should have already arrived.
Roger can get repairs on his wheelchair through Medicaid. The only problem with this is that they lease the equipment for 13 month periods that go on to his chair. That means that every 13 months, Roger will have to get a refurb done and will be that much further from getting a new chair if he accepts their terms.
Roger has had a friend volunteer to fix his chair if he can get the parts. The cost of the parts is about $2600. This would be a bandaid in the situation, but would certainly help.
Galatians 6:10 tells us that when we have opportunity to help others, that Christians should certainly do just that, but especially those that are of the household of faith. This man is truly a man of God's word and his pain is also our pain.
Can you help Roger? Can we all pull together and not only get Roger what he needs to fix his chair, but maybe a little more to help him catch up...and possibly plan to purchase a new chair some day sooner than later?
Let's get Roger "moving" again!
Any inquiries may be made to either Roger or myself. All funds will be submitted to Roger via my personal PayPal account less the fees for the fundraising site. If you would prefer to make a donation directly to Roger or to me, please contact either of us to request address.
In Christ,
