My name is Melissa, and at 48, I find myself needing a wheelchair van to regain the independence that means so much to me. Living with mobility challenges has made it difficult to get out and about, and I sometimes need assistance to get where I need to go. My service dog and I are a team, but without the right transportation, even simple outings can feel impossible.

Having a wheelchair-accessible van would completely change my daily life. I could take myself and my service dog places with ease, run errands, visit friends, and participate in activities that I’ve missed out on. Most importantly, I would be able to go places without needing help, giving me the freedom and confidence to live life on my own terms.

The funds raised will go directly toward purchasing a van that is compatible for both me and my service dog. This would be a life-changing gift, and I am deeply grateful for any support you can offer. Asking for help is not easy for me, but your kindness would mean the world. Thank you for considering a donation or sharing my story.
