Madera and Roxy Vehicle Fund

Donation protected
I've seen my niece, Madera, grow over the last few years and because of her being born with Cerebral Palsy it makes things difficult for my Sister, Roxanne, to lift Madera and set her into her vehicle, a Toyota Tacoma. After transferring Madera from her walker or wheelchair to the truck, my sister has to load the walker and/or wheelchair, sometimes both, into the bed of the truck as well. When I'm present, I help as much as I can but I'm not always there and I know how this process is becoming more die fficult as Madera continues growing into a healthy young adult. I've talked with my Sister about a vehicle specific for Madera and agree that the Mobility Ventures MV-1 is the vehicle of choice. Take a look at it here:

I would like to generate enough funds to give my Niece and Sister the freedom to choose exactly what fits their needs and funds not be an issue. Both my Sister and my Niece would appreciate this as my sister won't have all the difficulty and strain on her while loading both Madera and her walker and/or wheelchair if not both into her Toyota Tacoma. Madera I'm sure will continue to smile because she gets a kick out of it all but the only kick my sister gets right now is the pain in her back! I would appreciate any donation toward this campaign as I'm sure Madera and Roxanne will as well! Please help me in this endeavor to improve the quality of life for both my Niece and my Sister! Please know that I am doing this to help my family. I was not persuaded or coerced to start this campaign. This campaign was inspired after I spent a month with my sister after she had a major surgery. I was doing all the lifting and transport she does with Madera for that month I spent with them. I like to think I'm a pretty strong guy and I know my sister, although smaller than I, she is strong as well. However, for that month I personally experienced what my sister does day to day and I know she takes incredible care of Madera. This effort is ultimately for Madera. A mothers care is the best care.
Regardless, improving the quality of life for both of them is a win/win situation. It's about people helping people. If you think about it like a team, a team is only as strong as its weakest player. Teams don't win championships because of one player. Team work makes the dream
work! If people thought outside the box maybe they would understand but I know the ones that matter will understand and together we will achieve the ultimate victory. Thank you in advance. The only way this effort benefits me is the safety, health, and happiness for my family.
