Wheelchair Van
Donation protected
Hi Everyone
My name is Danielle Ray I hope to raise funds to purchase an accessible van with a wheelchair ramp. I was born with Spina Bifida and over the years my mobility has decreased. On June 1st 2007 I had to have a right below the knee amputation and I am non weight bearing on my left leg. I am bound to an electric wheelchair which makes transportation extremely difficult. Along with Spina Bifida I am also anemic, have gastroparesis and frequent infections. Due to these comorbidities I have frequent doctor's appointments. I am currently relying on medical transportation to get me to and from my appointments. Right now there are a shortage of drivers and it can take up to two hours for transport home.
I have a 16yr old daughter Molly whom I would love to be able to go and do things with. She only has two years left in school and I would love to be able to be part of. I want to enjoy holidays, family dinners and to make memories with family and friends.
Purchasing a wheelchair-accessible van is different than buying a regular car off the lot at a dealership-Not every van and wheelchair is a one size fits all solution. A wheelchair van can cost anywhere from $40,000 to $100,000. Wheelchair van prices can be broken down into the price of the van itself and the cost of additional modifications. The cost of a van can range from $20,000 all the way up to $70,000. The cost of handicap van modifications can cost up to $30,000. This might seem like a lot, but these modifications require highly skilled, careful engineering.
Please consider donating to this worthy cause. Every little bit helps; thank you from the bottom of my heart. If you cannot donate, please share this campaign with your friends and family on social media to help spread the word.
Thank you for the support
