Help Audrey Purchase A Wheelchair Van

Donation protected
Introduction:

Hello, my name is Nathalie, and I am reaching out to you with a heartfelt plea. I am a single mother and I am fundraising for my amazing 20-year-old daughter, Audrey. Audrey is a beautiful, social, curious and endearing young woman who has touched the hearts of everyone who has had the privilege to know her. Despite facing immense challenges, Audrey's spirit remains unbreakable.

Audrey's Story:

Audrey was born with an extremely rare genetic mutation known as Baker-Gordon syndrome. This condition has resulted in profound cognitive impairement, spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy, epilepsy, very low vision, and a range of other medical issues. Despite these hurdles, Audrey's love for life and her family shines brightly.

Audrey lives at home with me, her dedicated mother, and her younger brother, Marc. I also have an older daughter, Camille, who adores Audrey. Audrey's condition requires constant care and attention. She is wheelchair bound and relies on a feeding tube, making mobility and transportation a significant challenge for our family.

The Urgent Need:

For the past 13 years, we had a wheelchair van that allowed Audrey to participate in family outings, school, medical appointments, and various activities. Unfortunately, the van became unsafe to drive due to extensive rusting, rendering it unusable. Audrey has been confined to our home, unable to venture out except for essential school and medical visits. This sudden loss of fredoom has been emotionally devastating for audrey and our entire family.

I am reaching out to ask for your support in raising funds to purchase a new wheelchair van for Audrey. These vans come at a steep price, ranging between $50,000 to $60,000. As a single mother with a son in college, the financial burden is overwhelming. Your generous donation will make an immense difference in Audrey's life and provide her with the opportunity to experience the world beyond her home once again.

How You Can Help:

Your contribution, no matter how big or small, will bring us one step closer to our goal. By donating, you will be directly contributing to Audrey's independence and improving the quality of life for our entire family. Your kindness will help us provide Audrey with the freedom she deserves, enabling her to attend school, participate in social activities, and access essential medical appointments without limitations.

Closing Words:

On behalf of Audrey, Marc, Camille, and myself, I want to express our deepest gratitute for considering our cause. Your support will not only change Audrey's life but will also bring immense relief to our family, allowing us to focus on what truly matters - providing Audrey with the love and care she deserves.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your kindness, compassion, and generosity. Together we can help Audrey regain her freedom and bring smiles back to our family.

With sincere appreciation,
Nathalie
