Fundraiser for a wheelchair accessible car 🚗

Whom are we helping?

You will be helping me, Majda.

I currently live with my parents and sister in Pardubice (Czechia), where we have a fully barrier-free house 🏡 , but unfortunately we do not have a car that I can easily fit into and function without any problems. We have an older car that I can fit into along with my wheelchair in the trunk. But every time we go somewhere, someone has to load and unload me and my wheelchair. I weigh something and my parents are no longer the youngest. My mother hasn't been able to get me into the car by herself for several years, and it's becoming increasingly difficult for my father, who has a shoulder injury. We therefore need a larger, specially modified car with a ramp for loading my wheelchair so that my dad and mom can easily transport me, but such a car is financially beyond our reach.

"Through this fundraiser, we would like to ask for help so that we can live a more free life and enjoy more experiences outside our home." 

I have been able to accomplish a lot since childhood only thanks to the huge commitment and help of my family. Despite my physical limitations, I was able to attend a regular elementary school and a general high school and graduate 🎓. With increasing age and health limitations, my opportunities for leisure time are starting to diminish or rather require greater commitment from others. Fortunately, I have such people around me, and so in recent years I have been able to participate in many events and activities where you might not even think to look for a wheelchair user.

For example, on the SummerJob 💪 volunteer brigade, where we selflessly helped in the border area with about 150 other volunteers. Although I cannot chop wood, I still like to help. I can attentively listen 👂 to the stories of others and share with them how to live their lives to the fullest, even if your hands and feet don't obey you, you have very poor vision, speech, and have been in a wheelchair your whole life. Even on wheels👩🏽‍🦽, there is a lot to see, experience, and, most importantly, live. And when we can add car wheels 🚗  to the wheelchair's wheels, I will be very grateful to you. 

What specifically will the money from this fundraiser be used for?

1. The money from the fundraiser will be used to purchase a Ford Tourneo Connect 🚗 with a special modification - a ramp for wheelchair access. The price of such a car is not small, and just the special installation itself costs around 12000 - 13000 EUR. Even if we take into account all of our own financial resources, we still lack a significant amount.

Depending on our financial capabilities, we will either look for an older car or, in the case of your great generosity, we could afford a new car.

2. Any money that is left over will be used for spare parts for my compensatory aids 👩🏽‍🦽 (currently, for example, I need a new battery for the shower lift, which costs tens of thousands of CZK) or for paid rehabilitation.

Every penny counts, and I thank you very much for it. I really appreciate it. ❤️
