SUPPORT CAMPAIGN FOR WHEELCHAIR VAN

In my work against euthanasia and assisted suicide, and for life with dignity, it is important that I have reliable, comfortable wheelchair accessible transportation. In over 20 years of advocacy for life-affirming inclusion of people with incurable illness and severe disabilities, I have logged literally thousand of miles on my 19 old van. It's getting hard to even find parts. 

My problem is that I live on a modest disability pension. A GoFundMe account has been started to purchase me a new wheelchair accessible van. The cost of conversion doubles the cost of a van: the floor must be lowered to accommodate my electric wheelchair, the suspension altered, lift installed, wiring changed, locking mechanism installed to secure my chair for me to drive, etc. The estimated cost is $77,000. 


Helping to raise funds for a hospice
Many individuals from across North America who support my disability ministry have generously donated $25, $50, or $100 to support this campaign. Donations can be sent to the GoFundMe account here . https://www.gofundme.com/2rnxyktc or send contributions to my wife LaRee Pickup, 4417-51 Street, Beaumont, AB., Canada, T4X 1C8 or email bank e-transfers to laree@shaw.ca .

 Calvary Community Church in Edmonton, Canada, contributed $1,000. Would your church, pro-life group, or business consider matching their generous contribution? 

Thank you for your consideration.

Mark
