Donate for Kylie's Accessible Van

Donation protected
Help me get a new accessible vehicle. Recently on a follow up trip to Shriners my van broke down again (replaced transmission about 6 months ago), it’s been in the shop since last Monday and I haven’t been given a diagnoses but I know it’s related to the transmission so I spent $29,000 for it to start giving me so many problems after 1 1/2 years. I have been two and a half weeks without a vehicle to transport Kylie in her wheel chair so I have been using her special needs car seat that sits up way to straight for her and isn’t comfortable because of her scoliosis. I’m having to carry her in and out of the truck or car I have borrowed and that’s hard on this 65 year old body. Her insurance did pay for a rental which wasn’t handicap accessible to get her to Shriners for her recheck where we unfortunately got the news that her scoliosis curve went from 85 degrees to 111 degrees in one year so surgery is inevitable and they’re shooting for scheduling by January or February. After that surgery it is going to be very hard to lift her into a car seat in a regular vehicle. Not only do the girls have therapies and appointments every week but on weekends we love attending church and going to events with a couple inclusive groups that we’ve joined, the girls get to go horseback riding, to holiday events and just fun birthday get togethers so getting a vehicle is an urgent necessity. Accessible vehicles run from $50,000 to over 100,000 and I’m humbly coming to ask for help with donating, sharing this fund raiser and or praying for our needs to be met. I am hoping to raise enough for a down payment because the banks won’t loan the full amount because the conversion isn’t taken into consideration and that’s usually $15,000 to 20,000. I feel bad having to ask for help but after the bathroom remodel I am feeling defeated, it really does take a village and I know I have the best. Please consider helping in what ever way you can. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

i am overwhelmed with emotions at all that has been raised in such a short time. I appreciate every one of you!
