The Falk family buy an Accessible van.

Hi, my name is Tara and I work as an Educational Assistant at Walter Aseltine Elementary School in Rosetown, Sk. I have worked with Nathan for three years and have become very close with him and his family. Reuben, Tina, and Nathan moved to a farm North of Rosetown in 2015 from Plum Coulee, Manitoba. They had another wonderful boy, Mario, in June of 2021. Reuben works for the RM of Monet in Elrose and Tina is Nathan's full-time caregiver. Nathan is an 8-year-old boy who has a diagnosis of Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (which is a severe form of Epilepsy), Cerebral Palsy, and Global Development Delay. Nathan is unable to sit independently for sustained periods and does not crawl or walk, he is also non-verbal. Nathan is fully dependent on his family for all transfers. Due to Nathan's limited mobility, their family has to lift him in and out of the vehicle which is becoming more difficult as he grows.

At this time the family does not have an accessible vehicle. The family is constantly travelling to and from school as well as medical appointments and would benefit from having a van with adaptations to make these transfers safer for Nathan and his family.
