I don’t use a wheelchair but I use a scooter. It is very difficult to transport my scooter. It’s a pain to take apart and put back together. I can’t do it myself and I don’t like depending on people. I’d love to have one of those
handicap vans so I can feel more in control of my life, go where I want without relying on others and make more use of my scooter.

What ends up happening with me is that if I’m going somewhere alone or with someone who can’t handle my scooter, I end up leaving it at home. There’s many times when I could make use of the scooter and prevent feeling terrible the next day or even getting into a flare-up.

Having the ability to take my scooter with me wherever I go would also allow me to make longer trips on my own. I wouldn’t have to worry so much about feeling too fatigued to drive a long distance and return home if I can use the scooter instead of walking.

Having a van that would enable me to take my assembled scooter along would really change my life for the better.
