Darren's wheelchair van to freedom

Hi my name is Kim and I started this GoFundMe for my grandson Darren. Darren is 13 years old and has Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. Darren recently fell and broke his leg and is facing many challenges. Duchenne is a progressive fatal illness that has an average life expectancy of 18. Darren needs this van so that he can be transported in his wheelchair. Without a wheelchair van the only place Darren will be able to go is to school and back. Darren has frequent doctor visits at Boston children's hospital as well as locally in Western Ma. A wheelchair van will also give Darren the ability to live a life outside of his home. Darren has become trapped in his own body and this wheelchair van will give him the freedom to leave his home to visit family and friends and to go to places most of us go to freely. Darren's parents (my son) Steven and Mary tirelessly care for Darren's every day needs. Steven is only able to work part time due to Darren's needs. The cost of all the equipment Darren needs is more than most families could ever afford and not being able to work full-time makes it impossible. There a some grants that can be applied to the cost of the van but there is a remaining balance not covered. We are asking for anyone who can please donate to do so. We are hoping to get the deficit between the cost of the van and the grants covered plus the insurance. We thank everyone for their support and help.
