What we need on this list is a place to put things like vans, wheelchairs, equipment and such up for sale, trade or give away. Every person that uses a wheelchair has a bunch of handicapped equipment in their way they dont use anymore or something they need but buying new is to costly. Im not smart enough to add such a thing to the lidst but maybe someone on here is??

After that we got a 1995 chevy astro mini van with a raised roof and rear lift, that we have had for 9 years, it is still going so far...The price of new modified vans are unbelievable----a person has to win a lottery or be rich to buy one.
