Lil Wayne has, as you may know, been out of prison since early November. He has since then helped another person gain their freedom. This freedom, is not, however, from prison. This freedom is the ability to move again.

While he was serving his eight months in New York's Riker's Island on a weapons charge he was getting letters sent to him from a woman named Ronda. She wrote to him telling him to keep his head up and to stay encouraged. She talked a lot about herself and her family. Here is what she said in a video that was posted on Lil Wayne's site, WeezyThanxsYou.com:

“The first time I wrote Lil Wayne I just let him know that I support him, and I'm gonna keep writing him until he comes out. Just giving him a lot of encouragement...[letting] him know that God is with him and... to keep his head up and stay encouraged,” Ronda, of Williamstown, New Jersey, explains in a video posted on Wayne’s site. “I talked a lot about my family, myself and especially my mom and dad.”

After she had been sending letters for a while she received a phone call from Wayne. At first she was very surprised, however, she soon began having a conversation with him. In the middle of this he asked whether she and her dad had gotten her mom a wheelchair yet. She told him that she hadn't and he replied, "Well, if you didn't get it, don't worry about it. I'm going to take care of it."

Ronda's mother Evelyn says that about 10-15 years ago her knees started getting weaker. Ever since then she hasn't been able to walk.

When Lil Wayne heard about this from someone who had been so kind to him when he had been in such a bad situation, it must have caused him to want to help. He sent Evelyn a Quantum 6000 wheelchair. This has allowed Evelyn to get up and about for the first time in years, according to Ronda.

“I see such a difference in her; she has this get-up-and-go in her now. She’s mobile,” Ronda said. “When she’s actually up and about,” she went on, pausing with emotion, “it’s like….it’s just a good thing to see.”
