Mobül: the mobility store, announced a donation of 16 powered mobility scooters by one of its customers, Kenneth Bloom, president of Hawaiian Solar, Inc. the largest solar installation company in Hawaii, which operates under the brand name of “The Solar Dog.”

 

Bloom, a 39-year resident of Kailua, Kona, wanted to express his appreciation to our veterans and recognize a need among many veterans for portable mobility scooters. His brother, David Bloom, who lives in Long Beach, came to Mobül to discuss the donation with Wayne Slavitt, Mobül’s founder and CEO, and it soon became a reality.

 

Two local veteran-based non-profits were identified as recipients of 14 of the 16 scooters. The remaining two scooters will go to a veteran-based group in Hawaii. These organizations will provide the scooters to veteran-related individuals in need of mobility assistance. The two local organizations are Disabled American Veterans and American Gold Star Manor. The scooters are also outfitted with scooter safety flags and either baskets or oxygen holders.
