Handicap Van For My Granny

Donation protected
Hello my name is Sophia Chester and I'm managing this GoFundMe on my Grandmother Minister Shirley Roberts behalf. My Grandmother was born with polio and she also has a  curvature in her spine. 

She uses a power chair in order to get from point A to point B. She would also use her handicapped accessible van in order to get to the store and other locations. For the past 20 years my Grandmother has owned a handicapped accessible van that has served her well. Sadly it's broken down and she needs something new. We can't put anymore money into this van anymore. 







My family and I have managed to find a used handicapped accessible van on craigslist that is very affordable. This van has plenty of room so my Grandmother can enter and exit out of the vehicle comfortably. 



This is simply an opportunity that we cant pass up. Handicapped accessible vehicles are very expensive and we managed to find something that's only $3k. We will be traveling to meet the seller on Saturday March the 21st to pick the van up.



We have until Saturday to meet our deadline. My Grandmom means the world to me. She has taken care of everyone else in our family and this time I want to help take care of her. She needs a new vehicle so she can get out of the house. My Granny has been stuck in the house and has had transportation issues since this past November. There have been times where she has spent multiple weeks at home because she has no transportation. 

It might not seem like a lot but simply being able to leave the house and get into your own car is such a privilege that many of us take for granted. I want my Grandmother to be able to leave the house whenever she wants and not have to worry about her transportation issues. I'm asking for $3k to cover the cost of the van and the fees associated with GoFundMe. My family and I would appreciate any help at all. Thank you all so much!
