Reilly Needs A Wheelchair Lift Van
10 year old Reilly of Clinton, MI needs a wheelchair accessible van. Like all 10 year olds, he is growing and is getting too big to lift into and out of the family vehicle. Not only that, but Reilly uses a power wheelchair, which is too heavy to lift into and out of a vehicle. Problem is, with the economy struggling, both parents are out of work and can’t afford the expensive wheelchair van conversion. However, their community has responded. So far they have raised about 5800, which is almost 10% of their goal for a new wheelchair van. Visit Reilly’s blog, and consider making a donation.
