Jordyn’s Medical Van
Hi— we are Ruth’s fitness community turned framily. Ruth and her daughter Jordyn are both amazing humans with DNA made of pure joy. Seriously. Ruth is hands down one of the most positive people you will meet in this lifetime. We were DEVASTATED (pissed/outraged/horrified) that someone would steal a medical mobility van!! It was last seen driving down Scott Blvd 3/10/21 at 3:32 PM. Until this van is
found, Ruth, Jordyn, her Papa, and stepdad
will be very limited in getting Jordyn out and
to her various appointments. While insurance will eventually cover some of the costs, it will not cover the entire van or it’s necessary modifications. If you can donate, please do. If
you can’t, please share this post. Below is a
message from Ruth about Jordyn and the
van’s importance.
“Jordyn is my 23-year-old daughter that sustained a traumatic brain injury in a car wreck when she was 18. She hasn’t recovered to a state of being able to walk, talk, or care for herself. She relies on her family and caregivers for all of her activities of daily living. One of the things we need to do that is transportation. She’s had a wheelchair lift van for the past four years which has allowed us to get her to doctor’s appointments, outpatient therapies, the ER when necessary, and out and about for stimulation and pleasure activities. With this van, we’ve been able to take her to the botanical gardens, local festivals, concerts, art museums, and to see family and friends. We even use it just to pop over to a restaurant, park, or to wander around retail shops. It’s become part of giving her the best quality of life we can offer her. Without this van, we’ll need to hire transportation just to go the 10 miles for needed and scheduled outpatient care. The loss of this van isn’t about losing a thing. It’s about losing the added mobility which has provided her better health and a better life.”
