Comment	I am looking for financial help to either get a wheelchair van or to have a wheelchair lift installed in our 1983 model GMC G2500 Diesel van. We are both on SSA disability and simply cannot afford it, and we are in no position to be able to get or pay on a loan. Alice, my wife of some 35 years, has recently been restricted to a wheelchair in an effort to keep her off of her right heel, which has been skin-graffed and is healing, however, with her having had a double stroke in 2002, she has already not been overly steady on her feet, so I expect her to be using this wheelchair more than she did in the past. I have been looking for help for some weeks now, and been running into rock cliffs! If you know of any organization ar any source that could help us out, I'm not looking for a way to be gifted with a new $50,000 vehicle, I want to be able to stop having to lift this wheelchair and its batteries into our trunk, with my deterriorating spine! Thank you, Les Hyde
