My name is Sam. I am writing to ask for help for my best friend who has limb-girdle MD and is a power wheelchair user who needs a wheelchair van to get around.

His passenger van currently is a 2005 Chevy Uplander, and the floor of the van is rusted out and is in danger of falling through. When it rains, water comes in the bottom, and it is developing black mold inside the car.

A used wheelchair van with 100K miles usually runs around $50,000 due to the conversion.

This makes even a used van not affordable for him as a monthly payment costs nearly what a mortgage would cost. I am asking for help to get them a passenger wheelchair van that is safe so they are no longer putting themselves or their child in danger. Any little bit helps reduce this burden.
