A Lincoln of Troy Wish
During the holiday season, our staff was looking to give back to a family in need. The family shared with us that their daughter, born with spina bifida, is unable to play on a regular playground with her brother and friends because the local playground is not wheelchair accessible. With the support of The Lincoln Motor Company, our staff raised enough money to provide their family with a special swingset for their own backyard. This weekend, we finally got to install the swingset! Special thanks to Variety - the Children's Charity of Detroit for introducing us to this wonderful family.
