Moving Independence

I am growing up.  In fact, I am a grown up!
       I am graduating high school.  My plan for future schooling is that I am going to a local community college.  I will finish up the necessary general education classes and then hopefully transfer to a four year university.  As of now, my career choice is to become a child psychologist.  I also want to start my own business!   Maybe do both or whichever one works out first. 
       I am getting my service dog!  A Labrador Retriever that will help me locate curb cuts, retrieve objects, open doors, and so much more.  Her name is Cleo and her coat is more reddish then golden.  She is beautiful and will help me at ton during my college years and beyond!

       I need to ask you to help me mature and grow up.  While I am growing up I need to be able to get to the gym, social events, my college campus, etc.  I will have my caregivers drive me to and from places in my wheelchair accessible Van.  Will you help me grow up and become more independent by helping me win a Van?

I would like your help, please.  Would you mind VOTING and asking everyone you know (SHARING)  to vote once a day for me at mobilityawarenessmonth.com?  The prize is a wheelchair accessible vehicle!  There will be three winners; an elderly person, a caregiver, and someone in between. I would be the "in between" person.   IT COSTS NO MONEY to vote and I would not be asking if it did.
       This van is so important to my family and I.  It is getting harder for me to get in and out of the car which in turn is harder on my parents to lift my wheelchair and myself into the car.  This is why I am desperately asking people to vote each day while telling everyone they know to also vote each day.  Otherwise, a wheelchair accessible van costs about $70,000!!

Taking MTS is simply not convenient, either.  They give an hour window of when they will be there and it can take two hours because of having to drop-off and pick-up other people.  You can never be on time.

The voting ends May 31.
