Donation protected

Hi! My name is Dr. Jennifer Runyan,D.C.  I have made it my personal mission to raise money for a family  in need.  Please find it in your heart to donate what you can.  Here is their story .....(told by Corrie, Abigail's mom)
"Abigail is a cheerful 7 year old who was born at 28 weeks gestation and weighed only 2lbs. 12ozs. She spent 2 months in the NICU at Woman's and Children's Hospital. Abigail was diagnosed with spastic triplegia cerebral palsy when she was 1 year old. Her cerebral palsy affects both legs and right arm. We currently do not have a wheel chair accessible van. I use two lawn mower ramps to get her power wheel chair in and out of my van. Abigail's chair weighs 300 lbs. which makes it difficult to load and unload. The ramps often slip off the bumper causing me to endure most of the weight of the chair. I suffer with severe back pain. Not having a wheelchair van stops me from taking Abigail places. (As well as my oldest daughter Layla)Running just the simplest errand is very difficult. The rain and snow also make the ramps slick and difficult to get her even to school on those days. Having a wheelchair van would allow us to go places we would not normally go without one. Abigail's power wheel chair has given her a lot more independence but not having a vehicle to properly secure her, limits that same independence. Not having a wheelchair van also puts my safety at risk every time I have to load or unload her chair. I have to be there to take care of Abigail and Layla."

Together we can make a difference for this family.  Let's get them a handicap accessible van! It will change this family's life!
