Chris Medina receives a new wheelchair van

MobilityWorks and BraunAbility teamed up to help Chris Medina a 2010 Dodge Grand Caravan with a automated ramp which will help the wheelchair get right into the van.

In an interview with Southtown Star Reporter Victoria Johnson, Chris said “If it’s easier for us to get her in the car to take her out to dinner, she’ll want to go to those places more,” Medina said. “I think that’s really how this van helps. It brings back better quality to our lives. It’s just a very nice gesture. Having this van really means a lot to us.”

Lauren Alaina's performance this week?

I am a HUGE fan of Lauren Alaina, myself, as well as Scotty. And not to say that I don’t like the other contestants, they’re really all great singers.  I think Lauren did great or maybe it’s just because I am such a loyal fan.  I did notice that the judges didn’t like it as much as they liked and raved about her past performances.  Perhaps it wasn’t the best song choice for her.  But regardless, I just hope she stays!  IMO, I think she is so well liked that she’ll make it. What are your thoughts?
