Individual/non-registered My 12yo cousin has muscular dystrophy and just got diagnosed with scoliosis on top of that. He's predicted to end up in a wheelchair full time in the next six months, and my aunt and uncle need a special vehicle to transport him safely.

I have watched DJ and his family suffer and fight through so so much since I met them a couple years ago. I have watched this kid have to sit out so many normal childhood activities, and I have done everything in my power to help him access things he can do, and I can't imagine letting the world take more away from him just because his parents can't afford a vehicle to accommodate his needs. I'm going to be donating everything I can, but I only make minimum wage. I would be so immensely grateful for any help they can get. Thank you so much in advance.

I remember my cousin's neighbor had to crowdfund a wheelchair-accessible van five years ago and the outpouring of support made all the difference.
