HAPPY HOLIDAYS - END OF THE YEAR GIVING
We HOPE you and your family well! As the holidays are approaching I HOPE that you will be blessed with positive vibes, good health and wellness, love, joy, peace and happiness!
We are reaching out to share sincere gratitude and give you an update on how you can get involved with our end of the year corporate “GIVING Of HOPE” to Help HOPE Live in honor of Gary Bolton.
This past December 2 was GivingTuesday, and on that day, the medical fundraising nonprofit Help Hope Live covered the credit card fee for donations made in my honor. This was quite helpful for my campaign “Help Hope Live Gary Bolton.
I want to thank you for the role you’ve already played in this fundraising campaign. I know that you have shown interest in.
Thanks to many contributors we’ve been able to cover so many major medical costs over the past few years, from physical therapy, some home modifications. As many may or may not know lot the preferred and essential medical needs such as durable medical equipment and adaptive aids are not always fully covered by insurance. So families like ours are often forced to pay for these essential items that are thousands of dollars. Which is not possible unless outreach for support from community fundraisers and benefit events.
Currently, with putting my pride to the side, I feel desperately in need of reliable accessible transportation. Unfortunately, in the last 9+ months has been a disaster with my previous wheelchair 20 year old van with over 230k miles of use it has had its last bit of life. From ongoing costly repairs, transmission going out and the most important and expensive part the wheelchair lift has been broken and the metal floor of the vehicle has been cracked and is no longer a SAFE nor reliable vehicle.
We currently have selected a customized Toyota Sienna wheelchair accessible Braunability van with a national reputable accessible mobility vehicle dealer. United Access mobility specialist has assisted to preorder and build to spec with modifications of adaptive electronic mobility control equipment with the AVEIT 2.0 system.
Gary Bolton’s quality of life is challenged by his paralysis and is dependent on mobility equipment of his Permobil F5, a powered wheelchair that is very heavy of 448 lbs. that requires proper mobility carriage to transport him in the community to doctors appointments, on going outpatient therapy, church, speaking engagements and destinations of his desires.
We still need a lot of help, and it takes a village. That’s why we want to thank you in advance for adding December 2 to your calendar and making a donation on that day or helping us to spread the word. The whole month of December is the season of GIVING HOPE, sharing love and kindness. Many individuals, small businesses and corporations take advantage of the opportunity during this time of the year due to the last quarter of the year and support great causes and organizations through philanthropy. The Help HOPE Live charity, is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that is dedicated to bringing awareness to Help HOPE Live Gary Bolton’s Drive For More Independence And Mobility Freedom campaign. Together we are striving with an ongoing community donation pledge matching challenge fundraiser benefiting Gary Bolton’s catastrophic spinal cord injury fund.
