Tony Dickey is a chaplain with the United Cajun Navy who was at the hospital to offer counseling to the family. When he learned what had happened to Sensky’s wheelchair, he did what members of the United Cajun Navy do. He stepped up to help, contacted a paramobile organization, and got Sensky a brand new custom wheelchair.

The United Cajun Navy continues its work today as a nonprofit disaster relief organization. They recently responded to North Carolina in the wake of Hurricane Helene, delivering supplies with horses and mules to areas where the storm had washed away the roads.
The next time you see something scary on the news, just look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.
As the attacker exited the truck and began shooting, he was put down by the New Orleans Police Department, neutralizing the immediate threat. Soon after, Paramedics arrived to care for the injured and transport them to local hospitals, where doctors and nurses in emergency rooms continued to care for the injured and began the process of healing. A process that continues today.
A victim of the #neworleansattack was knocked out of his wheelchair on #BourbonStreet. The FBI held his wheelchair as “evidence”, so we sent our Chaplain Tony Dickey, who is in NOLA as part of our SpecOps team to counsel the family. Oh, and we got him a brand new wheelchair.… pic.twitter.com/fhBkDbkE4Z
“I’m happy to be alive, man.”A 51-year-old Pennsylvania dad who uses a wheelchair said he was ringing in the new year in New Orleans when a gunman in a truck came barreling toward him. https://t.co/Javl6Otjd3
The words of Mister Rogers’ mom held true when a radicalized maniac drove a truck through a crowd of people celebrating the New Year on Bourbon Street in New Orleans. The senseless act of terror would leave at least 14 dead and dozens more injured. Then the helpers came.
When I was a boy, and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, ‘Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.’ To this day, especially in times of disaster, I remember my mother’s words and I am always comforted by realizing that there are so many helpers – so many caring people in this world.
God Bless them all.
