I think I posted this as a reponse so sorry if you read this twice.  I'm a mother of 3 great kids, two of whom (twins) have disablities.  My twins both are in wheelchairs, althought one can walk for short distances with a walker.  I had to stop working full time as an RN due to all the surgeries (14 combined), and doctors appointment ect.  My husband is a fireman and works odd jobs on his days off to try and make ends meet.  We are in debt due to our situation, but I'm not asking for assitance for that.  The hardest thing for me is the inability to give my children a chance to do things that other kids do.  We need a wheelchair accessible van that will hold two wheelchairs (full size van with a lift), and they cost 50 -60 thousand dollars.  There is no way we can afford to buy that.  I just want to be able to take my kids th the zoo or shopping ect.  Right now they are stuck at home except for going to school or the doctor.  If anyone can help I would be eternally grateful.

I am of Mother of 3 fantastic children.  Two of my children (twins) have special needs and are in wheel chairs.  I had to quit my job as a nurse to care for them, and my husband who is a fireman works two jobs.  Although we have insurance our medical bills and decrease in income has left us in debt.  I'm not asking for money to pay off debt, I'm asking for money to help us purchase an handicapped accessible van.  Due to the fact we have two in wheelchair we need a full size van which costs 50-60 thousand dollars.  I have never asked for money before and although it is hard we are unable to do anything with our children because we can not transport them.
