UPDATE: as of 9/23/18 at 6:45 pm, we reached our wheelchair goal and the wheelchair was ordered. They are still in need of a little to fix their handicap van, and our biker warriors in Louisiana are stepping up and I AM SO PROUD OF EVERYONE who help!
HERE IS MY STORY!
I am a Louisiana rider that was severely injured in 2015. I am in desperate need of a reclining wheelchair that my insurance won't cover. I also have a handicap van that needs some repairs.

HERE IS MY STORY:
was riding home from work on a state highway. Another highway T's up to mine. An 18 wheeler, who had a stop sign, pulled out in front of me so fast that I wasn't able to engage my brakes. I slammed into the cab of the truck. I was not supposed to live but I did; thank you God. I was in a coma, had many transfusions and was on life support for several months. I was a vegetable and bed ridden for over a year.
My wife now takes care of me. My current wheelchair is getting old and I could really use a reclining back wheelchair. I'm a large man and need a 22 inch wide seat, but no larger so I can still be able to enter doorways.
Thank you for your aid to riders. You are doing God's work helping people who are often overlooked.
BTW, my wife bought a handicapped van for me, and it still runs well, but it is a 1997 Chevy van with over 150,000 miles. That's just in case you can help with that, thank you.
