Help James & William Get a Wheelchair-Accessible Vehicle

James and William, our 12-year-old sons, were born with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, a progressive condition that weakens their muscles. They are permanently wheelchair-bound and can no longer transfer into a car without being lifted, which causes them significant pain.

We urgently need a wheelchair-accessible vehicle with a ramp to safely transport them. The most affordable option is the Ford Tourneo, but we’ll also need to make some modifications.

Despite both of us working, the cost is beyond our reach. Your support would make a world of difference in giving James and William the mobility and comfort they deserve.
