On today's show, Dede Selivon, an inspiring woman with a rare condition that makes her bones incredibly fragile, was surprised with some life-changing gifts from very generous donors. See these special moments from the show right here, and keep watching for exclusive footage of Jeff chatting with our friends at Permobil and Wedding Rings Depot. He learns why they stepped up to help Dede and her fiancé, Peter.

Permobil, the world's leading manufacturer of power wheelchairs, generously lent Dede a wheelchair to use during her visit to Los Angeles. On the show, they surprised Dede by offering her a free, brand new, custom-fit electric wheelchair! After the show, Jeff chatted with Rebecca Oliveri from Permobil to learn about why Dede's story struck a chord. Learn more about Permobil at their website.

Participate in National Mobility Awareness Month, this May - the annual celebration that educates and encourages seniors, veterans, caregivers and all people with disabilities to enjoy active, mobile lifestyles. Sponsored by the National Mobility Equipment Dealers Association (NMEDA) with the assistance of more than 600 mobility equipment dealers, manufacturers and driver rehabilitation specialists throughout the United States and Canada, the month is dedicated to expanding opportunities for people with disabilities.
