Unite for Lisa

Hi, my name is Lisa and here is my story.  I'm a middle school teacher in Madison, WI.  I'm very independent and rely on my accessible van to take me to work, to take me to the doctor and maintain my fulfilling life!!  Even though I've used a wheelchair since the age of 18, it's important to me to maintain my independence. My life has been devoted to serving the community as a teacher and my van is my lifeline to everything I do.  On July 13, 2017, I was involved in a tragic car accident where I broke my femur and my van was totaled.  Fortunately no one else was hurt.  Unfortunately, my insurance company will only pay $12,00 to partially replace the van, but not the adaptable equipment.  I need $45,000 to replace my van and the equipment needed to make it adaptable so I can drive independently.
