The wife heard strange sounds coming from the garage every day, and the neighbors constantly complained about the noise.Only a few weeks later they found out what the husband was doing there all this time, and were shocked. Continued below
Brad Soden’s life has been filled with challenges. A former US soldier, he lived through the horrors of the Iraq War, where he risked his life many times to save the lives of his comrades.
Back home, Brad found happiness – his beloved Lisa and three children were by his side. Their life was full of joy until August 15, 1999, when everything changed.
That day, the family went on a road trip. Lisa was driving, the kids were chatting in the back, and Brad was looking out the window thoughtfully. But in an instant, their world was turned upside down.
The front left tire burst, and Lisa lost control. The car was thrown to the side, and a second later there was a dull thud – the car crashed into a truck.
When Brad woke up, he was pierced by fear. The children, fortunately, escaped with only bruises, he himself had a broken leg. But Lisa… Her unbearable pain and immobility made his heart clench. Later, the doctors pronounced the verdict – a broken spine, complete paralysis from the waist down.
Lisa was desperate. Yesterday she was still laughing, walking, making plans, and today she was confined to a wheelchair. But Brad did not let her give up.
That same day, standing by her hospital bed, he got down on one knee and vowed, “I will not leave you. Not today, not tomorrow, not in ten years.”
Lisa didn’t give up. She always loved hiking, mountain trails, the fresh wind in her face. Now it seemed impossible. Brad saw her looking out the window at the mountains in pain, and he knew he had to do something.
Having worked as a technician, he knew how mechanisms worked. The idea came to him suddenly: why not create a chair that could overcome any terrain?
He spent days and nights in the garage, hammering and welding metal parts. The neighbors complained about the noise, but he didn’t pay attention.
Finally, the moment arrived. Brad called Lisa into the garage and excitedly pointed out his creation: a powerful electric chair with reinforced suspension and huge wheels.
Lisa sat down carefully, Brad pressed the button… and the chair smoothly moved forward, easily overcoming obstacles.
Soon, a large company became interested in his invention. They took his model as a basis and created a serial prototype. Now not only Lisa, but also many other people have the opportunity to travel without restrictions.
