Help Darryl Find a New Beginning

Donation protected
From Darryl:

Imagine - You're in your mid twenties and all your friends and family members are starting families and careers.  You see a growing changing world ouside your window, but you're trapped. You're trapped in your house, the same on you grew up in, because your mobility is limited, and there are no resources you can use in your town, not even ramps on the sidewalk so you can step out into the world.

This has been my reality.  I have cerebral palsy, which has affected muscle control in my right arm and both my legs.  I have trouble bending my legs and very limited movement at the hips, and in my arm and hand. Growing up with CP was not easy, and living in a city with very few resources for people with limited mobility has made it even harder to be an adult.  I am trying to raise funds to move to  a new town with better accessibility and new opportunities.

I've chosen a place to move where I'll have familial support to help me get settled, and many more accessibilty options  available to me there.  
Of course, travelling takes money.  I need to pay for a flight, get help packing my stuff, and to move my belongings across the country and thats just the beginning.  I've included an itemized list below my story so you can see what exactly I need funds for.  I hope it paints a clear picture of my needs so you can decide to help me.

 I've been waiting for my life to begin. I just want a chance to have the things I see everyone around me with.  If you are able, please donate to my campaign, or share my story with others.  I appreciate your support.

I am on a fixed income check, and employment has been nearly impossible to find.  This is where your support is SO crucial.  My sister who is typing this campaign for me and my brother will be helping me move.
Things I need:
Plane tickets for me and my sister and brother who are helping me move - $1500 
Shipping my belongs -$700 (Greyhound seems the cheapest option)
Packing Materials - $100
Hotel room while I find a new apartment (My sibs are setting up viewings for me in advance)- $200
Security deposit and application fee on apartment(s)- $1000
Extra in case of mistakes/emergencies $100

Mobility devices - I've gone a long time without these devices and while some are available for discount or free, the waiting lists to be assessed are years long.  These programs also require you to spend money on expensive assessments to "prove" your need for such items.  Your donations will help me buy them for myself and skip $1000s in assessments and years of waiting.
Power chair - $700
Cane - $25
Therapy bands - $30
Therapy cycle -$50
Bathtub chair - $75

All of the prices here are averages based on the research I've done with my sister.  Thats why I've left some room in the funds I'm requesting.  Thank you for supporting me in this effort.
