Little Love needs a wheelchair van!

Hi!

I am Little Love's Mama, Jacqui!

Almost a year ago, I completed her adoption from India! She was born with a rare anomaly causing her to be missing all four limbs. In that time, she has flourished and continues to show me and those around her that nothing stops her. Her favorite phrase is "I got it!" From the first moment I saw her face, my goal was to promote her independence and inclusion. Part of that is getting her access to all of the accessibility tools at our disposal. The most important one is her wheelchair! She will also have her speech device wired into it. How cool is technology?!

 

This week, we found out that she will be getting her first wheelchair in just three months!!! We have been working on getting demos for months, and we finally had the chance to let her trial one this past week. Needless to say, as her pic will show, she was ECSTATIC!

 

Originally the intent was to get a chair that could break down into many pieces to fit into my current car. However, due to Little Love's specific needs and many of the chairs we had inquired about no longer being in production, we are left with this exceptional chair that requires a handicap-accessible vehicle.

 

Because her chair will be here in just three months, I am reaching out to ask for help from those who have asked how they can help our family. This van will bless our family for years to come and gives my girl a bit more inclusion. With the limited amount of time to get a van, and the fact that I cannot work a 40 hour week (due to medical appointments and therapies), I would humbly ask that you consider donating towards us getting a new, wheelchair-friendly vehicle.

 

In the three-year adoption journey, I was humbled by the many ways so many followed God's call to help our family, and I am reaching out to ask if you would help us with this goal. I humbly thank you for your words of encouragement, prayers, monetary gifts, love, etc. It all means so much to our family, and we remember you all in our prayers!

I have gotten a few large donations by mail! Our running total of gifting thus far is $8500! Between that and personal savings, we are well on our way to getting our new family van! Little Love and I are so grateful!
