Fundraising for an Accessible Van
Meet James and Jacob Daniels of Macon, Georgia. James (22) and Jacob (18) have Duchenne muscular dystrophy, a progressive neuromuscular disorder that causes a loss of motor, pulmonary, and cardiac function. James and Jacob both use wheelchairs that require accessible transportation. Obtaining an accessible vehicle carries a large financial burden.
James is studying Public Relations at the University of Georgia and hopes to return to campus in the fall after a hip fracture kept him home last semester. At this time, he cannot safely transfer to a typical vehicle seat due to risk of re-injury. Jacob attends access classes at Howard High School.
As participants in Jett Foundation’s Accessible Vehicle Fund branch of the Jett Giving Fund, the Daniels Family will aim to raise half the funds needed, or more, for their accessible vehicle before Jett Foundation steps in to cover the remaining costs and purchase.
The Daniels family has met their fundraising goal and received accessible transportation thanks to supporters like you! You can still support our program and future program participants with a gift to Jett Foundation today:
