The Need

Terry and Carmen returned home on September 1st,2007 and set about rebuilding their lives with the help and support of their family, church and many friends. The return to their normal surroundings was much more difficult than they could ever have imagined. All the more so as their home is not set up to be accessible for one living in a wheelchair neither is their vehicle.

Here are the needs

             A home suitable for wheelchair living

             A van for transportation

             Resolving a massive amount of medical bills
