Kind of odd that every single winner is female..... http://www.mobilityawarenessmonth.com/local-heroes/2015-winners/ |

A lot of people notice that. |

Sorry you didn't win man. Maybe you need to do a kick starter thing, Im sure lots of us on here would kick in a few bucks. |

There are piles of charities that will donate funds to purchase mobility equipment. we had about 1/2 the cost of our van (about 30,000 worth) covered through charities like the President's choice foundation and the children's ability fund. big companies like walmart like to show they care by donating to these charities. also check out SPECIFIC disability charities may be able to help you. (brain injury society, quadriplegia society, etc.) there were some charities that WANTED to help us, but my daughter's specific disability (Cerebral Palsy) did not fit the pre-chosen and outlined scope of the disabilities they would help. also note too as well, once you DO purchase a WC van, often you can claim a portion of it as tax deductible or as a medical expense. your specific government may have a specific modified vehicle tax break or deduction. in canada it save you 5000 worth of tax free income and also if you live in B.C. it qualifies you for a 25% discount on your basic vehicle insurance. and (i've just learned) in canada, you can apply for a partial refund of the federal excise tax on gasoline you purchase for that vehicle. every little bit helps |
