A woman said God sent her a message the day she saw a newsnet5.com story about an electric wheelchair that was stolen from an Orrville church.
We reported last week that a wheelchair worth about $6,000 was stolen from Good News United Baptist Church.
On April 27, the pastor's wife, Patricia Watts, noticed that one of the side doors of the Mt. Eaton Road church was cracked open and a window was broken.
Upon looking inside, she noticed an electric wheelchair, usually located near the front of the church, was missing.
Pam Bauer, 68 of Akron, saw our story.
She had an electric wheelchair that wasn't being used ever since her mother passed away and decided to donate it to the church.
"It's the right thing to do and I think my mother is dancing in heaven," Bauer told newsnet5.com's Bob Jones.
On Friday, members of the church gathered outside of Bauer's house and loaded the wheelchair into a truck.
They gave Bauer flowers to show her their appreciation.
When asked how it feels knowing that people who need that wheelchair will now be able to attend church Bauer said, "Everybody should be able to go to church and if I can help somebody else get there, my life is a blessing along with theirs."
James Watts, the pastor of the church, told newsnet5.com: "From one corner of the earth to the other, there are people who are loving and generous and godly. People like her have a great heart and she saw the need."
