Help Josh Regain His Independence with a New accessible Van
Despite Josh’s physical challenges, Josh faces each day with determination and a spirit that inspires everyone around him. His motor abilities are severely restricted—he controls his wheelchair using head motions against a pressure-sensitive headrest and operates his computer with a pointer strapped to his head. Where others might see insurmountable obstacles, Josh sees opportunities to rise above and prove the world wrong.
In 2003, Josh realized he would always be limited by the range of his motorized wheelchair. Determined to expand his world, he raised enough funds to purchase a used 1996 Ford van. For 21 years, that van was more than just a vehicle—it was his lifeline. It allowed him to attend medical appointments, shop for groceries, and, most importantly, experience the joy of his annual trips to the beach. Every summer, Josh lived humbly for an entire year just to afford that one week by the ocean—a place where he could truly feel free.
After countless repairs, the van can no longer be saved. Without it, Josh is confined to his apartment, missing out on the independence and happiness it once gave him. A new van would restore that freedom, allowing him to return to the life he loves. Every contribution, no matter the size, brings him closer to that dream. A new wheelchair-accessible van would restore his independence, giving him back the ability to live life fully and enjoy the moments that mean the most.
