There is an estimated $10,000 of remaining dental work to be completed on patients.

Conroe Dentist Practices Paying it Forward

Dr. Gardner has always held the military in high regard, but recently he's taken it to another level.

After seeing a segment on Action Trackchairs, which are the ultimate in off-road wheelchairs, Dr. Gardner and his team became inspired. Conroe Comprehensive Dental Center pledged that 10 percent of all production for the month of September would go toward the purchase of a Trackchair for a wounded veteran.

“I realized how life-changing this could be,” Gardner said. “The chair could really allow a disabled veteran to regain a lot of their freedoms.”

During his search for a veteran in need, Dr. Gardner spoke with Steve “Luker” Danyluk of The Independence fund. After hearing about the dental office’s donation, The Independence Fund joined efforts and committed to donating 12 more chairs to wounded veterans. Luker also suggested that we present the Trackchairs during The 7th Annual Independence Ride in Wallis, Texas on Saturday, November 2. Along the way two other individuals, Mike Bunney and Steven Wright, joined our efforts and donated a chair, giving us a grand total of 15 chairs.

To his amazement Dr. Gardner was also asked to speak at dinner prior to the ride on Friday, November 1. Being able to speak to his heroes was a dream come true.  The recipient of our donation is Montgomery County resident, Robert Englebrecht. Robert (right)joined the Army in 2003 as a cannon crewmember on a paladin tank. He was injured after only 8 months in Iraq by an I.E.D. As a result of the I.E.D. explosion, his left leg was amputated; he lost his right eye and only has 40% vision in the left eye. He took shrapnel throughout his body leaving his right arm with severe damage and extensive damage to discs in his back requiring him to be in a wheelchair 95% of the time. He also suffered a traumatic brain injury that has impacted his short term memory.

Dr. Gardner, his wife Dailene and children James and Sarah also participated in The Independence Ride. The family biked 12.5 miles and had the opportunity Conroe Comprehensive Dental Center's recipient Robet as well as others who have served our country.

 

 

In addition to the donation of a Trackchair, Gardner’s office is also hosting their 2^nd Annual Dentistry for Veterans event on Saturday, November 16. During this event veterans will be treated at no charge. For more information please visit them online at www.drtimgardner.com or call 936-230-5445.
