Overview

To buy used and new mini vans, as well as 15 person vans, to help transport children with special needs.  Many children in wheelchairs need special lifts to get into vehicles. These are very expensive and many time insurance does not cover this cost.

We want to provide families in need and local children's agencies the chance to get  to enjoy all that life has to offer by being mobile! Research shows lack of transportation can greatly hinder health care, vocational opportunties and quality of life.
Opportunities to go to doctors appointments, special outings, therapy sessions and chances to experience the world beyond their walls at home.

For many children, it isn't a physical limitation that limits their lives, it's the lack of transportation.
