Lil Wayne Gives Wheelchair To A Disabled Mother

Apparently New Orleans rapper Lil Wayne has the Christmas Spirit.

While inprisoned, one of Wayne's fans by the name of Ronda Austin gave him some encouraging words in a series of letters and he has not forgotten. Yesterday, Weezy answered her prayers by providing her disabled mother, Evelyn Austin, a resident of Williamstown, who has been confined her New Jersey home since suffering long-term knee complications that prevented her from standing, with a mobilized wheelchair to aid her means of transportation.

“The first time I wrote Lil Wayne I just let him know I support him,” Ronda recounted. “I let him know that God is with him and telling him to keep his head up and stay encouraged.”
Inspired by her words, Mr. Carter sent Evelyn a mobilized wheelchair to thank the Austin’s for their support. “I didn’t know Wayne before now, but I do know him now and I thank him, I really thank him, explained Evelyn. “He didn’t even know me and he got me a chair. I pray and ask God to bless him."
