Help Lisa & Billy Get a Wheelchair-Accessible Van for Krysta

Donation protected
Dear friends, family, and compassionate souls,

We are reaching out on behalf of Lisa, Billy, and their extraordinary daughter, Krysta, who is a beacon of joy despite living with cerebral palsy. Their family's faith and perseverance in the face of overwhelming challenges are a testimony to the power and goodness of God. But now, they need our help to continue their journey.

Krysta relies on a wheelchair, and their current van—an aging vehicle with over 215,000 miles—has been their lifeline. Sadly, it has become increasingly unreliable, requiring costly repairs, and is no longer safe for transporting her to vital appointments, therapies, and everyday outings. The family's other truck vehicle is out of commission entirely due to a failed timing chain.

Billy, who previously had the skills to repair their vehicles, has been in and out of the hospital due to severe complications from diabetes. He has lost multiple fingers and toes and battles frequent infections, making it impossible for him to perform repairs. To make matters worse, Lisa is also juggling Krysta's ongoing medical needs, including a recent hospitalization for tachycardia and high blood pressure.

Amid these trials, Lisa and Billy's faith in God has remained unshaken. They have declared Psalm 91 over their family:
"He will cover you with His feathers, and under His wings, you will find refuge; His faithfulness will be your shield and rampart" (Psalm 91:4). They trust in God's promises and His ability to provide, even in their darkest hours.

A wheelchair-accessible van would be a transformative blessing for this family. It would ensure Krysta's safety and comfort while lifting an incredible burden from Lisa and Billy's shoulders. However, these specialized vehicles often cost over $50,000 brand new, a sum far beyond their financial means. Lisa and Billy are prayerfully seeking a used one for about half of that amount, making this need more attainable with the help of generous supporters.

We invite you to join us in helping this wonderful family. You can make a significant difference through a donation, sharing their story, or lifting them up in prayer. As believers, we are called to carry each other's burdens (Galatians 6:2) and to reflect the love of Christ.

Lisa often says, "God is in control, and I am not," a reminder of her faith and reliance on Him. Let's come together as the hands and feet of Jesus to meet this need. Your generosity will provide not just a van, but also hope, peace, and a tangible reminder of God's provision and love.

Thank you for taking the time to read their story. May Psalm 91 remind us all that God is faithful to protect and provide for His people.

With heartfelt gratitude and faith,
Corissa
