Henry just made the difficult decision to give up his keys. He knows it was the right thing to do, but he’s worried about having to rely on loved ones for rides from here on out, especially given the fact that his car had been specifically designed to accommodate his wheelchair. The AAAPP was able to connect Henry to some free and low cost local resources, helping to ease Henry’s transition into no longer driving.
