Help Fund Adaptive Driving Equipment for Emma’s First Car

Donation protected
For most teenagers, driving is a given. For Emma Kozak, 17, it’s been a battle. She was born with arthrogryposis, a rare condition that affects the muscles and joints in all four of her limbs. Despite the challenges, Emma completed driver’s ed using hand controls and earned her permit after a long, state-approved medical process.

Now, she’s ready to drive—but she needs a vehicle with specialized adaptive equipment to do so safely. The hand controls Emma needs, including a push throttle and joystick steering, must be professionally installed and cost over $95,000. That doesn’t even include the cost of the car itself.

Emma is determined to live independently. With your help, she’ll be able to drive herself to school, work, and spend time with her friends, without having to rely on others.

Every donation, no matter the size, brings Emma one step closer to her dream of independence. If you can’t donate, sharing this campaign with your friends, family, or social media network will make a huge difference.

All money donated will go directly to helping my family buy Emma a car with hand controls!

Emma’s determination has gotten her this far, let’s help her take the final step toward driving into her future.

Thank you for supporting Emma’s journey!
