 Hi everyone, I’m launching this campaign to regain something everyone deserves but too many take for granted: my basic freedom, health, and dignity.
</div>
<div>
 I live with muscular dystrophy. Because of my progressive condition, I know my lifespan isn't as long as most people's. I refuse to spend the time I have sitting trapped in my apartment, watching life pass me by.
</div>
<div>
 I am tired of sitting around, rotting between four walls, and relying on other people for every single move I make. It isn't fair, and I want to make the absolute most of the life I have left. Getting out of the house is vital for mental health. I want to experience the simple, everyday joys that most people do without thinking: Being able to make a spontaneous run to the grocery store. Packing a lunch and going out to have a picnic by the water. Getting out into nature and rolling along an accessible trail or park without a massive logistical struggle. Simply deciding to leave the house when I want to, on my own terms.
</div>
<div>
 Right now, living slightly out of town on hilly terrain in Campbell River makes independent travel in a chair impossible without a vehicle. This transportation gap has directly impacted my health, I have been forced to postpone and miss critical medical appointments simply because I had no way to get there. The public infrastructure in Campbell River completely fails people with mobility needs: handyDART is broken: Rides require advance planning days ahead with zero flexibility. When I contacted the Ministry of Transportation directly, their response was simply "first come, first serve" which leaves people completely stranded when capacity is full. Taxis are non-existent: Due to severe driver shortages, accessible cabs rarely exist in town. Even when booked ahead of time, drivers frequently don't show up. Geographic Isolation: Living out of the central core on steep terrain means I cannot simply travel downtown in my chair.
</div>
<div>
 Why $80,000? Wheelchair-accessible vehicles are extremely expensive. Structural modifications, like lowered floors, automated ramp/lift systems, and wheelchair lock-downs—mean pre-owned or modified accessible vans routinely cost $70,000 to $80,000+. Every dollar raised will go directly toward: Purchasing a reliable wheelchair-accessible van (or securing a suitable chassis and completing a full conversion). Essential setup costs, including provincial safety inspections, licensing, and initial insurance coverage. I am done putting my life, health, and happiness on hold while waiting on broken government systems. If you are able to donate, thank you from the bottom of my heart. If you can't contribute financially, simply sharing this link with your friends, family, or local community groups makes a massive difference.Thank you for helping me reclaim my freedom and live my life to the fullest.
