I am a fiercy indepent soul.

I lived in my motorchoach since 1989.

since 2013 I have had a series of hospital stays that made my legs weaker, from being in bed.

Each time out it took weeks to get my strength back, in my legs.

The last stay my legs did not recover, so I could not live in my motorcoach any more.

I went to a nursing facility to have them help me get housing.

The person that was suppose to help did not.

I found a apt and paid all the deposits and passed all the screenings. On the day I was to sign the lease the person called the manager and told them I was not able to lived independent, so the manager declined my lease and return my deposits.

When the insurance ran out they said I could stay at the facility, but would take all my income from social security.

I told them to put it where the sun does not shine, got in my chair, loaded up with things I thought I needed and left.

Living with a group of people puts a toll on my emotions, due to me being an empath.

So I don't stay in shelters, but on the streets.

The chair I have I bought in 2012 from someone who's dad passed and gave it to me for a good price.

Till this year I did not use it.

It tilts so my legs are up above my heart.

I have tried senior living independent apartments, but after waiting four moths, I was told being in a chair the consider I need assisted living. Mind you I lived four moths on streets using the library for powering the chair and toliet usage.

The new RV's cost and arm and leg, that frankly I don't have.

so I am going for a used van that is wheelchair enabled

http://www.accessams.com/Wheelchair_Vans/1994_Chevrolet_SV1_White/1994_chevrolet_sv1_white.html

the price before taxes and license is $8,000

them I need to have work on the chair batteries $500

the remainder I am asking for is in case the van needs work, plus getting things like refrigerator, stove for the van.


I estimate i will have $100 a month to pay back and funding i get that allows me to do as i plan.
