Julia's Wheelchair Van

Donation protected
Julia is 10 years old & has Rett Syndrome. Rett has robbed her ability to do anything for herself including talking & walking. Julia is wheelchair bound & 100% dependent on us for every aspect of her life. She's unable to do the simplest things like feed herself, get a drink when she's thirsty or even use the bathroom.  I (Julia's mom) was diagnosed with Lupus in May 2018 & it is becoming more & more difficult for myself & others to put Julia in & out of the car & car seat. Julia is getting older, heavier & taller so its becoming more challenging to take her places even to her Doctor appointments. It typically takes at least 2 of us to get Julia in & out of the car & get her into her wheelchair. We are a family of 6 so we need 1 vehicle that we can all ride in together as right now we typically use 2 cars to go anywhere as a family. We have tried to get a wheelchair van on our own but the expense is to high & we unfortunately couldn't afford the monthly payments. With your help we could get enough money as a down payment to make our monthly payments more manageable. I know times are difficult for everyone & we all greatly appreciate any donation you can give.
