Wheelchair Van Needed for Jacob and Liam

Hi everyone,

My brother John and his wife Melanie have two adult children, Jacob and Liam, both suffering from Duchenne  Muscular Dystrophy and Liam also has Autism and Epilepsy. Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy is a life threatening progressive illness that shuts down all of the muscles in the body and will inevitably cause death. It is a heart wrenching experience for a parent and even worse to actually be the person going through this process.

Both Jacob and Liam are currently in motorized wheelchairs and their only way to get to their medical appointments or even get out of the house is to be transported by their wheelchair van. Unfortunately, their old wheel chair van just died and is unrepairable. Therefore, they are in a dire position right now!

The average cost of a used wheel chair van is between $50,000 to $80,000 which is not something an average hard working family with huge medical expenses and bills can accommodate.

Can you please help donate to Jacob and Liam' s wheelchair van fund.  Time is of the essence as they are going to need to go to medical appointments soon.  Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated and please share with everyone you know. 

Many thanks in advance!
