Golf caddy works to provide wheelchairs for those in need

JUPITER  |  Since graduating from college, Jeff Kotansky has made a pretty good living as a golf caddy in Florida in the cooler months and in New Jersey/New York in the warm months. For 15 years, he has been blessed with strength and mobility.
