CAME FOR A VISIT AND WHAT

THEY'RE ALL GETTING.

IT'S A HOT GLUE GUN. AND THOUGH

IT'S HEAVY DUTY MACHINERY AND

IT'S BASICALLY A WALKING AROUND

ITS LIGHT WEIGHT MATERIAL.

IT'S GOT SEVERAL PLIES ITS CARD

MORE BECAUSE IF WE MADE THIS

OUT OF WOOD, NOBODY CAN MOVE

IT.

>> THIS IS NOT A MASK

PRODUCTION BECAUSE EVERYTHING'S

CUSTOM A CUSTOM CARDBOARD CHAIN

HELP KEEP THEM SAFE AND STEADY.

YOU HAVE TO HAVE HER HANDS OF A

SURGEON TO DO THIS. THE HAYNES

AND THE HEART.

>> IT JUST SHOWS ME ABOUT LIFE

I COMPLAIN ABOUT THE SMALL

THINGS.

>> AND THESE CHILDREN HAVE

FEEDING TUBES ALL KIND OF

THINGS, BUT THEY STILL HAVE A

LOT OF JOY IN THEIR LIFE AND

THEY HAVE FURNITURE TO HELP

THEM HAVE A BETTER LIFE.

THESE FAMILIES IN WAYS THAT

THEY'VE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO

EXPERIENCE MADE FOR MEEHAN

WRONGLY, WHICH BEGAN BETWEEN

NEIGHBORS, MET OVER THE BACK

FENCE AND THE NEIGHBOR HAD AN

IDEA ABOUT, YOU KNOW, BUILDING

FURNITURE WITH CARDBOARD FOR

SPECIAL NEEDS SHELTER. SO THIS

ALL STARTED IN GARAGES

SOMEWHERE IN GARAGES FOR ABOUT

2 AND A HALF YEARS BEFORE

SCOOTER AND THEN THEY COULD

PUSH IT ALONG THEMSELVES AND

WONDER WHAT THEIR REACTION WILL

BE. PRETTY EXCITING AND IT

HELPS THEM FEEL INCLUDED IN THE

HOME. AND COOL LANE AND HIS

HERO MOVER.

>> AND THAT'S CHARLIE LANE.

AND CHARLIE, I AM THAT CAR

THEIR IDENTICAL TWIN. THEY ARE

IDENTICAL TWINS. I WOULD

IMAGINE CHARLIE'S A BIG HELP.

CHARLIE IS A BIG HELP. BUT IF

YOU ASK ELAINE WHAT HE WANTS TO

BE WHEN HE GROWS UP, HE SAYS HE

WANTS TO BE A HELPER FOR HIS

FAMILY.
