Pursuant to a story we covered earlier this week, What a bad accident teaches us, 24 year old David Harrington of Washington, who recently suffered multiple injuries from a bad car accident, surpassed his Go Fund Me goal of $800 to buy or rent an electric wheelchair (thanks in part of Penobscot Bay Pilot readers who followed his story.)

He was able to purchase a motorized wheelchair from a person having a yard sale in Damariscotta, who brought it over to him. The wheelchair is going a long way to ease his pain as he gets around. As David said himself as an update on his page, “You guys are so amazing. Your support is more than I could ever have hoped for. Thank you so much!”
