United States Army and Air Force veteran Kimberly Marcisz is getting a new lease on life after a car accident left her paralyzed from the waist down. Thanks to the Topeka VA, Marcisz is getting a new wheelchair, one that has the power to help her stand.
“Honestly it feels like somebody is hugging me. That’s how it feels. They are hugging me to keep me in place. Not only can I now stand up, I can also be over there cooking. I can play with my kids more. I can hug my dad,” said Marcisz.
The standing wheelchair is made by The Standing Company. TSC is based in Saginaw, Michigan and has been manufacturing standing wheelchairs in the United States for over 20 years.
