How To Get Help Paying For A Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle
ShareWhether the wheelchair accessible vehicles that you are finding simply cost more than you had budgeted for or you do not have any money to use for this purchase in the first place, you need to consider options that can help you. While you may not be able to to change the fact that you need a wheelchair accessible vehicle, you can change how much money you have to purchase a quality one.
Start A Donation Page
There are a few different websites that will walk you through the creation of a donation page. You want to make sure that your donation page clearly states the amount of money that you need help with. You will also want to write up a small story about how you and your family came to find yourself in this position. For example, who uses the wheelchair and why? How is it extra difficult for your loved one to go to the doctor's office or anywhere with family without a wheelchair accessible vehicle? The goal is to get everyone to have a crystal clear understanding of the predicament that you and your family is in so they will be more willing to donate. You will then place the link for your donation page on all of the social media accounts that you have. Ask your friends or followers to share the link, even if they are unable to financially help at this time. You can even email the link to friends and family who do not use social media so they have a chance to help out as well.
Look Into Local Charities
You may want to search your local area for charities that can help with the purchase. They may even have a wheelchair accessible vehicle that they can donate directly to you. While you are at it, try talking to your church to see if they could be of any assistance. Even if your church is unable to help, you never know if there is someone in the congregation that has a connection with a dealership that sells those vehicles or with a company that can transform a standard vehicle that you may already own so it is wheelchair accessible.
You may be surprised at all of the help that it out there for you when you take action. Even if it is a little uncomfortable at first, asking for help for a good cause is never something to be shameful of.
