Help Amelia Cooper Get a Wheelchair Van

Imagine not being able to go to work, visit friends, or even attend a doctor’s appointment without wondering if your ride will show up… or if your wheelchair will even fit. For many of us, transportation is something we take for granted. But for Amelia Cooper, it’s a daily challenge—one filled with uncertainty, frustration, and exhausting barriers. Amelia is a kind, smart, determined, and bright soul who simply wants the same freedom others enjoy: the ability to move around safely and independently. But because of her mobility needs, she relies entirely on transportation services that are unreliable, inconsistent, and emotionally draining.

Why a Wheelchair Van Matters:

While most people can jump in a car without thinking twice, Amelia has to plan every trip like a military operation. Public transit often isn’t accessible enough. Rideshare accessibility is practically non-existent, or cancel when they see a wheelchair. Specialized transport services are frequently late, overbooked, or unavailable for spontaneous needs. And the worst part? They come with outrageous costs that stack up fast.

Why This Matters:

Why We Need Your Help:

A new or gently-used wheelchair-accessible van can cost anywhere between $40,000 to $80,000, and that’s simply out of reach for someone living on a fixed income. Insurance doesn’t cover these vehicles. Government programs? Backlogged or non-existent.

This is where you come in. Your donation—no matter the size—can make a real, lasting difference. Every dollar brings Amelia closer to the freedom she deserves. Every share of this campaign spreads awareness. Every kind word lifts her spirits. Together, let’s show that mobility is a right, not a privilege. Let’s give Amelia the wheels to move, the key to independence, and a reason to believe in community again.

From the bottom of our hearts—thank you for helping change a life.
