Friendly Scooter Repair

A 77-year-old St. Charles woman can get around town easily again now that she has a working scooter.  

The Daily Herald has a great story about a local store that surprised Mary Homuth by fixing her broken scooter.   

Homuth is a frequent customer at the Blue Goose grocery store in St. Charles.  When she began coming to the store with crutches, rather than her red motorized scooter, employees noticed.  They found out that her scooter broke and they decided to help her get it fixed.  

One employees husband, who is also in a wheelchair, spent about 50 hours fixing the chair.  The grocery store paid nearly $300 to get the right parts to make the repair possible.  Homuth said it was the best gift she had ever been given!
