I thanked him so much and told him she absolutely loves the ball, his work and that she’s bowling even better than ever. He walked to the washroom and I stopped him when he came out. He’s clearly amazing at his craft and an incredibly awesome human being. Ten minutes later he brought the ball out very nicely drilled and inscribed. I asked how much would he like to do that and again he refused any of my offers. He asked what name she wanted and how to spell it. We both got excited and said a big ol’ “YES!”. Sang came back out to where we were waiting toīowl and asked if we wanted him to inscribe her name on the ball. This is my Christmas gift to her.” I still offered to pay several times but he refused. He than said to all of us, “I’m not going to charge you all anything. I than brought Jocelyn and her mom into the shop and Sang measured her with such care and professionalism. He initially gave me a price and said he can make the time right away to measure her and have the ball ready in ten minutes. I proceeded to ask Sang how much it would cost. Sang said he still wanted to measure her hands and fingers for the holes. Also, that these were early Christmas gifts and she just wanted the holes to feel like everyone else she bowls with. ![]() I explained that Jocelyn has severe Cerebral Palsy and doesn’t really need the holes because she pushes the ball down a ramp to bowl. Ball wasn’t drilled with holes and so I decided to walk into Habetler’s bowling shop and asked if they drilled holes (which probably was a dumb question LOL). I bought her her own Superman bowling ball & bag for her early Christmas gifts. Last Friday, I came here with my neighbors/friends to stay with Jocelyn at her weekly bowling for disabled people. So the real star of the show…Sang in the bowling shop. They host different leagues, groups and on Fridays Chicago Park District does their bowling program for people with disabilities of all kinds. ![]() ![]() Habetler’s service is very good considering that they are short staffed because good help is hard to find nowadays. I love this place! Pretty great bowling alley equipped with a full bar room with awesome drinks, good food for a bowling alley, vending machines, jukebox, pool table, plenty of washrooms, bowling shop and bowling ramps for those with disabilities (they have two).
