New van and equipment to get mobile again

Hello everyone. My name is Buz Chmielewski. I'm not used to asking for help, I'm usually the one trying to help others. But, I'll try to explain what's going on.  For those of you who don't know me - when I was 17 I had a diving accident at Ocean City, Maryland. I suffered a C6 incomplete spinal cord injury 34 years ago. I never let this slow me down. I graduated high school, learned how to drive with hand controls, went on to be competitive in several handicap sports, and have been working for the better part of 25 plus years to help other people with injuries like mine to live better lives. Because of some physical setbacks after a research program I was involved with where I had micro chips implanted on my brain to where I was able to control robotic arms and hands with my thoughts. I have not been able to work as much as I used to before the surgery. I'm making do, but when the old van finally gave out and is unrepairable I've been basically stuck at home since. I still try to give back as much and as often as I can. Currently I am active in helping to educate Physical Therapy students at University of Baltimore and Occupational Therapy students at Towson University. I'm also serving as a peer mentor for the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation’s Peer and Family Support Program. I’m also a peer mentor at the University of Maryland Rehabilitation and Orthopaedic Institute, formally known as Kernan.  Being part of these programs, I have the privilege and honor of meeting, newly injured patients, as well as, their family and friends and am able to give valuable insight on life after a traumatic injury. By demonstrating that this situation isn’t the end, but can actually be the beginning of a new and wonderful lifestyle. I don’t know who gets more out of it, them or me? The more I see a positive change in attitude and drive, the more it pushes, motivates and inspires me and others to not give up and to push on. Doing this kind of work "remotely" just isn't the same as face-to-face.  I'm eager to get back on the road. I am asking for your help and support, in any amount that you are able, so that I can get an accessible van equipped with the things I need to get back to doing my part in trying to make this world a better place. Thank you for taking the time to read through this and consider helping me. Buz
