Wheelchair Accessible Van
Hi! My name is Erin Field and I’m 24 years old. Three years ago I became a C5 quadriplegic. When I go anywhere my mom transfers me to the passenger seat of her car with a slide board and then has to take my wheelchair apart. This is very difficult for her and for me. I don’t have much strength or balance so it is a lot on my mom and her back has been hurting her a lot. We have not been able to afford a wheelchair accessible van as they are very expensive. I can’t explain how much this would help us. I go to therapy and doctors appointments at least four times a week. With a van, it would be so much easier and faster to get in and out and my mom would not have to lift me or take my chair apart. At this point I am desperate because I do not want to have to stop going to therapy due to not being able to get in the car. I will also get hand controls so I will eventually be able to drive the van myself when I am more independent. Any donation amount will help. Thank you so much! I will attach photos and a video of how we currently transfer sped up x4.
