Help Makayla Get a New handicap accessible van

My name is Angelena Berteau…my daughter is Makayla Byars she is 28 yrs old and has Spina Bifida, and is in a wheelchair. Right now I’m not financially able to buy a another van…ours is wore out ,the air doesn’t work right and we are constantly having to fix something on it. We need a ramp for the van . We can’t get help in getting a ramp for the van bc ours is too old. Your van can’t be over 5 yrs old . Ours is 2003 Ford Windstar. I’ve been looking online and vans that are already handicap accessible start around $26,000 and go up to as high as $60,000. I figure we could find one at or below $30,000. We had bought some portable ramp to use with the van , but I have a hard time using it by myself bc It is so long and you have to fold it up a certain way. I had a stroke 1 year ago and I can’t do all the things that I use to be able to do. It’s hard to get Makayla in and out of the van ..we have to load her up in the van while she’s in her wheelchair. It is physically hard !

Please help us get a handicap accessible van for Makayla. Thank you
