Hi, my name is Eric Patrick Thomas. Thank you for joining me once again and helping me with my dreams, hopes and goals.

Last time for the #wedrivetoinspire campaign I was fundraising for a brand-new wheelchair accessible Chrysler Pacifica Touring L Plus by Braun Ability and sold by Gresham Driving Aids. It is a black on black BEAUTIFUL van. Thank you everyone who made it happen. 30 months of fundraising and we did it!

This time I'm starting a new campaign #welivetoinspire. This time it is a house. I've been searching for two years now. I
do have a realtor, mortgage agent, etc. and still to this day we have found nothing.

I'm going on 24 years life after injury. When I came home in 1998 I lived with my mom and stepdad for three years. Then I transitioned into
an apartment where I lived for 11 years. Since 2012 I have been renting a house in Flint, Michigan. Lots of changes have happened in my
neighborhood and not for the better. 

Since 2012 I have seen the houses on my street go to 85% abandoned, boarded up or burned out. I've had poisoned water since 2014. The violence on my street and the surrounding neighborhoods continue to rise. I would say the change in the neighborhood Is due to
numerous things, including neglect. There was a huge sinkhole at the end of my driveway that has been repaired three times now by the
city of Flint. 

IT IS TIME FOR A CHANGE! I would love to either build or purchase a new wheelchair accessible home. 

Please continue to check back for updates, as I will be sharing my story, photos and videos. Thank you everyone for the many years of
support.
