'The best part of my job is telling stories that yearn to be told.'
SAN DIEGO (KGTV - It was a heartwarming moment for an elderly man we talked to last week, after his wheelchair was stolen from his Point Loma home.Today, we follow through with his story, after an ABC 10News viewer stepped up to help.Inside Thomas Dellacqua’s back yard, there was a special delivery for him, as I dropped off a brand new wheelchair at his home.“That's lovely,” said Anne Dellacqua.“It’s so nice,” said Thomas Dellacqua.
After our story aired came a flood of viewer emails and calls, with offers of donations for Thomas and another theft victim.One of the emails was from an Escondido woman who had a brand new wheelchair and wanted to remain anonymous. She drove it to the house, and I brought it inside the house.“It makes me feel wonderful … It makes me feel like somebody out there really cares,” said Thomas.
