How We Do It
The "E" Board Story
There is a little curve in the side boards under the seat of the Freedom Cart that wasn't always there. A few years ago, the design of the seat changed, and it was not possible to slide a pair of crutches underneath anymore. Many of those who use our carts are on crutches and lost a convenient place to carry them. Adding a notch in these boards restored the space for crutches, which can conveniently be slid underneath the seat for carrying thanks to the creativity and diligence of our volunteer woodworkers!
