Update on Jared - Found a van

Over the weekend we found a van. J J It is a 2000 Dodge Caravan with a dropped floor and an automatic ramp. It is very functional and has been used the past 10 years by the previous owner, Corey from Oak Hill.  Corey has been in a chair for 20 years and was very helpful and a delight to talk to.  He was just a real salt of the earth kind of guy, upbeat and happy. 

Thanks to everyone for all your assistance in the search and a special thank you to the Bartley’s and Joe and Joyce.  You trully have blessed us. 

The whole family went to the movies yesterday afternoon and it was so much nicer.  Jared simply rolls up into the van and there are special tie downs, built into the floor, to hold the chair in place.


I have become quite versed in all the nuances of these vans, from all my research, so if you need info feel free to drop me an email and I owuld be happy to share.

Of course our prayer is that we won’t have to use it for very long and Jared will be walking, but for now I think it will really improve Jared's quality of life, outside the house.
