This teen saved for two years to buy his friend an electric wheelchair
Two high school buds in Norman, Arkansas are reminding the world about the power of friendship and how it can change lives.
The story of friends Tanner Wilson and Brandon Qualls has gained national attention and warmed hearts across social media because of Tanner's selfless act. Brandon, who uses a wheelchair to get around, has been using a hand-push model for years. The chair was becoming kind of a pain for Brandon as he had to push his way down the halls from class to class around Caddo Hills High School. "My arms would get really tired," Brandon told News9 TV.
Teacher Kathy Baker told KARK.com that this sort of behavior isn't new for Tanner."He loves to do for others," Baker said."He is just a great young man."Tanner simply wishes"people would care more about others, than just themselves." His selfless act will have longterm benefits. "It's awesome," Brandon told News9, adding that he's still getting used to driving his new wheels."I may hit a few doors, but it's worth it.
