Charity ODonnell

Charity and her fiancé are both disabled and have been raising their 7-year-old granddaughter, who is on the autism spectrum and faces ADHD, learning delays, and speech challenges. After a long five-year battle, Charity was granted sole managing conservatorship, allowing her to provide the love, security, and stability her granddaughter needs. Their journey has been filled with dedication and resilience, always putting their granddaughter’s well-being first. Right now, the family’s biggest challenges are transportation and housing. Without a suitable vehicle that can accommodate Charity’s electric wheelchair and their granddaughter’s needs, daily life is limited. Charity often has to stay home or wait in the car, missing out on school events, church, food pantries, and essential appointments. Many therapies, counseling sessions, and playgroups that would help their granddaughter thrive are on hold because they can’t commit to regular attendance without reliable transportation. On top of this, the family is behind on rent and facing eviction, which has added stress and uncertainty to their lives. A van, SUV, or truck that fits their unique needs would be life-changing, and support with housing costs would help them stay together and secure. It would allow Charity to regain her independence, help her fiancé share responsibilities, and give their granddaughter access to the services and experiences she deserves. Most importantly, it would help strengthen their family bond and show their granddaughter what family is truly about. Your support will help them move forward together, opening doors to new opportunities and a brighter future.
