March 2016 “We love what your organization does. We ourselves have a granddaughter in a wheelchair; however, she is unable to walk, talk, or even eat. That is why this organization is especially close to our hearts as we love to see that other people with disabilities can have a more meaningful life with a feasible form of transportation. Blessings on all you do! Barb” (long term donor in CO)
