New Van for Hannah and Maddy

Thank you for visiting our families gofundme page! Let me tell you about Hannah and Madision.

Hannah and Madison were both born with an unbalanced chromosone translocation.  No name exist for the condition these two girls have but that does not stop them from living and loving life. And to keep up with a good quality of life, WE NEED HELP PURCHASING A VAN WITH A WHEEL CHAIR LIFT.

At first Hannah and Madison were  small and somewhat easy to load into our Honda Odyssey.   Now the task is not easy.  Madison now weighs 50 pounds and Hannah is just over 60.  My wife and I have to physically lift both girls into and out of the van to go anywhere.  A simple trip to the grocery store is hard on the back.  I try to do as much of the lifting as possible but there are times when my wife is all alone and has to tough it out.  Just imagine only being 5'2''  weighing 105 LBS, lifting a child more than half your weight and only a foot shorter into the back of a Honda Odyssey.  After that,  it's time to stack the two 45 LB wheel chairs in the trunk and repeat the process with every stop we make.  

We have decided to try the gofundme route to help reach our family goal.  As far as we know, no funding exist to help families like us purchase a van with a lift that will accomodate two wheel chairs, two adults and two able bodied children.  

Thank you for taking a look at our page!  I will provide updates until we reach our goal.
