Wishbone Needs a New Wheelchair Van

Hello everyone,

I'm reaching out to you all for your support in purchasing a new Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle. As many of you know, over 17 years ago, I became a C-4 Quadriplegic, paralyzed from the shoulders down from a snowboarding accident during my senior year of High School. I have been very fortunate to have a reliable wheelchair van, but unfortunately, it started to break down over the last year.

We hope to raise funds to purchase an accessible van with a wheelchair ramp. Such a vehicle costs exceptionally high, but it would help with all medical visits, such as doctors, dentists, specialists, urgent care, etc. It also allows me to transport our 9-month-old daughter safely! An accessible van would enable me to get to and from doctors' appointments on my terms and have the freedom and independence to go out and enjoy life with our beautiful daughter.

Purchasing a wheelchair-accessible van is different than buying a regular car off the lot at a dealership-Not every van and wheelchair is a one size fits all solution. A wheelchair van can cost anywhere from $40,000 to $100,000. Wheelchair van prices can be broken down into the price of the van itself and the cost of additional modifications. The cost of a van can range from $20,000 all the way up to $70,000. The cost of handicap van modifications can cost up to $30,000. This might seem like a lot, but these modifications require highly skilled, careful engineering.

Please consider donating to this worthy cause. Every little bit helps; thank you from the bottom of my heart. If you cannot donate, please share this campaign with your friends and family on social media to help spread the word.

Thank you for your support and generosity.

Sincerely,

John and Arianna
