Support James's Mission with a New Wheelchair
Donation protected
My name is James Kelley, and I am a U.S. Navy (Hospital Corps) veteran, former paramedic, and healthcare HR manager. These days, my greatest mission is serving my community in Southern Vermont through my church and the Knights of Columbus. I visit the infirm and homebound, bringing them communion and companionship when they cannot attend services or events.
However, my current wheelchair severely limits my ability to reach those who need me most. Many of the parishioners I visit have porches or stairs that I cannot navigate, making face-to-face visits impossible. Additionally, snowy weather and rough terrain in Vermont often prevent me from traveling at all.
I am seeking to raise $18,000 to purchase an all-terrain, stair-climbing wheelchair that will allow me to continue my mission—bringing faith, support, and friendship to those who need it. Unfortunately, my current benefits do not cover the cost of this essential equipment.
Any contribution, big or small, would mean the world to me and those I serve. If you are unable to donate, please consider sharing this campaign with others. Your generosity will help me continue my work and ensure that no one in my community feels forgotten or alone.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart. God bless you!
