New Goal

Since I no longer need the funds to buy We-Fest tickets, I have set a new goal.

 

I am now going to start raising funds for Penny’s new handicap van.

 

I’m not sure how much money she will need, but anything will help.

 

You see, Penny has two special kids.  AJ has Cerebral Palsy and is, for the most part, blind.  We think he can see shapes and we know he can see shadows.  He is confined to his bed or a wheelchair.  And he is the most darling 7 year old you will ever see.  What a cutie!!

 

CJ is a rambunctious 13 year old.  She also has special needs, but Penny could tell you more than I can.

 

The van Penny is driving now is an older Dodge Caravan.  Early 90’s, I think.  It needs the engine rebuilt and it looks like it is on it’s last legs.

 

In order to take AJ places, she has a piece of plywood she places on the ground leading up to the sliding door.  Then she rolls the chair up into the van.  AJ has to sit in a special car seat.  Fortunately, he is still rather light, but eventually, she will not be able to lift him.  I worry about that every day.

 

So, if you know of anyone that can help, please pass this on.

 

Thank you.
