A SPECIAL THANK YOU!
To Our Funders
Our family is very blessed to be the recipient of funding support from an array of generous foundations in helping us toward the purchase of our new/used handicap accessibility van. Because of their generosity, my son can be a part of his community, attend specialty medical appointments, care for his hygiene needs in private, enjoy traveling to events and visit with family - we can now wheel out to the van and buckle up and GO GO GO!!!
If you are interested in learning more about the PROCESS of how to go about writing a grant for your handicap accessible van or what steps you need to take to submit your grant, please contact us and we will be more than happy to share our story and assist you with the steps to take toward a van (eligibility).
