DETROIT – It’s been decades since one Detroit grandfather has been able to walk due to multiple sclerosis. It’s designed to help the user stand upright and be able to walk. “The last time I saw him stand up was in college,” Melinda said. “I understand we’re in the middle of a pandemic and a civil rights movement, but hope is not canceled and courage is not canceled,” Melinda said. “My father is the most courageous man I know.”A GoFundMe has been set up for the family.
