The story of a stolen stroller has moved 570 News listeners to take action.
30 year old Lana Rolden’s four year old daughter, Stefani was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in April. Optimist clubs in the region helped out, donating a Phil & Teds sport stroller with a cost of about $600.00 US. It had two seats to accommodate both Stefani and her brother.
On Sunday, while getting ready for Halloween, Roldan discovered the stroller had been stolen from her porch.
Don Moser, a local truck-driver tells 570 News the story breaks his heart. He and his wife say they want to replace the stroller.
Another local mom, who asked not to be identified, has contacted 570 News to offer the loan of a stroller to Roldan until she gets a new one. The anonymous donor says her own child is also dealing with an illness, but the oxygen tank she now uses can’t fit in the stroller, so the mom would like it to go to better use.
Lana Roldan tells 570 News she is overwhelmed with the amount of love and care shown from around the region, people of the community have gone above and beyond.
Several other listeners have called in wondering how to help. The Rogers Kitchener Radio Group is taking donations. You can drop by our station at 305 King Street West Kitchener.
So far, $1,000 has been raised.
