Seun Oke will be in Texas Oct. 22 through Oct. 27

Seun Oke is a Nigerian woman with polio whose life was changed by an all-terrain wheelchair like those built by PET-Austin. Prior to getting a PET® cart, Seun (Shay-OON) had to crawl or be carried to have mobility.

Seun will be featured at Bethany United Methodist Church's Saturday 5:00 PM service on October 25 with a reception to meet Seun after the service.  She will also be the featured speaker at the BUMC Adult Sunday School Classes on October 26 at both the 9:30 AM and the 11:00 AM hours.  There will be plenty of time to meet and talk to this remarkable young lady who exemplifies a true PET success story.

Although mobility was, and continues to be a major challenge to Seun, she has managed with the help of her parents, physicians and friends, both in Nigeria and the US, to doggedly pursue her dreams of having a good job and living independently.

Seun has completed what we refer to as high school and has taken some computer training at a local vocational school---traveling to and from school on her PET.

Seun now lives by herself in an apartment provided by a compassionate Nigerian businessman not far from her home. With the use of her PET and a conventional wheelchair she is quite self-sufficient, doing the cooking, cleaning and related house work. She is employed in an office nearby doing clerical duties including filing and record keeping.

The PET family will be raising money to help Seun further her education so that she can better reach the life goals she has set for herself. 

Come to Bethany during one of the events to meet this amazing young lady.
