LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Residents of Dosker Manor had a chance to improve some items that so many rely on every day.
Saturday was the second annual free wheelchair repair and cleaning clinic. It was not only for the complex's residents but also for those in the homeless community.
Local nonprofit SOS International hosted the event.
A large part of Dosker Manor residents use wheelchairs and they can be expensive to repair.
"To be able to come here and get the wheels repaired or get the battery repaired and also get it cleaned, just restoring a little sense of dignity," SOS President Denise Sears said.
There was also free pet microchipping and low cost vaccinations.
