Opportunities for Kindness
Wheelchair Accessible Van With Ramp Needed
A hard working single mother of a 15 year old student with multiple disabilities is in need of a wheelchair accessible van with ramp or a van that could be modified to support a ramp. The student is wheelchair bound and cannot stand on his own. As the student grows physically into a young man, it is becoming more difficult for his mother to move him in and out of his wheelchair into her current vehicle. The mother needs the van to transport her son to his medical appointments and many physical, occupational and speech therapy sessions that will continue throughout the coming years. The family would be very appreciative of any help! They are currently working with an advocate to possible access services through Butler County DD to help with some of the needs as well. While we know this is a big ask, we would love to be able to help this student and his family.
