MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A month ago, we introduced you to Laura Hunter, who relies on public transportation, when it took her six hours roundtrip on a MATA bus to go three miles to the grocery store. Now, her trip has become nearly impossible, after her motorized wheelchair was stolen. "My situation with my leg was getting worse and worse," Hunter said. "I'm handicapped. So, I'm just stuck." The 74-year-old started gaining her freedom again when someone donated a motorized wheelchair they no longer needed. "It was very helpful. I could go to the store, things that I need personally for myself," Hunter said when we met her back in November. ORIGINAL STORY: Why a 3-mile trip to the grocery on a MATA bus She was using that motorized chair to get on and off MATA buses to go to the grocery store. The three-mile journey that took six hours, round trip, due to broken buses and bus drivers not stopping. "I’m not angry. I’m just so disappointed in the system. I know it could be better than this," she said after a bus driver refused to stop for her on Madison. She felt that disappointment again when we caught up with her recently. Two weeks ago, when Arctic weather moved in, Hunter tried to go to her granddaughter’s home with better heat. She was blocks away when her wheelchair’s battery suddenly died. "I thought I really charged it up," she said. "So my little great-grandson basically was pushing me back." The chair was too heavy to push her up the driveway, so he helped her into the house first. "And before we could get everything situated in the house, come back up, chair is gone," Hunter said. It was gone in just 15 minutes. "It's terrible. They don't have respect for people who are elder people, disability. It doesn't matter," Hunter said. "I didn't call the police that day, because I was hoping that they would have a heart and bring it back." They didn’t. She filed a police report.

A new chair would cost more than her income, stripping her freedom and independence once again. She had a message for whoever took her wheelchair. "So if you hear me, if you you are out there and you look at this, please bring it back. Bring it back. Do the right thing," she said. Hunter says she moved to Memphis decades ago, and says this is the first time she’s been a victim of crime. "This city can be a wonderful city to live," she said. "But we have to have respect for each other."
