THEIR WORDS NOT MINE.

Hello my name is Rick Snyder; I don't know where to start this. So, I will begin with my accident. I was involved in a car accident that almost took my life. It is taken many years to reach the point that I have. During this time I have had many trips to the hospital, and even into nursing homes. I am considered a C6-C7 quadriplegic incomplete, (I am considered a quadriplegic due to my hands and being paralyzed from the chest down), with autonomic dysreflexia. During my 20 years of being in the wheelchair, I have learned to adapt and accommodate many of the obstacles in my life with the help of a lovely woman named Victoria, and friends and family. I am 45 years old and had my accident at the age of 26. As we all know equipment, vehicles and other adaptive aids for the handicapped are extremely expensive. Over the years I have been transferring in and out of vehicles the best I can. Unfortunately we don't get any younger. I have started this page in order to hopefully get enough funds together to purchase, or to have a handicap accessible van/vehicle donated, to get me places I need to go. This will not only just help me in being transported, but also conserve the health of myself and loved ones as I weigh 185 pounds. This is quite a bit of weight to help pick up and transfer on a regular basis?  

This is getting into the vehicle, good weather day full of sunshine. So imagine in rain or thunderstorm.

This s getting out of the vehicle, on a sunny day. Again imagine in bad weather.

A vehicle that can help in transporting me anywhere I need to go such as; doctor’s appointments, back to work, grocery store, post office, Social Security office, friends and family's home, and especially to Church.

When I was working at Sears, in the tool department, lawn and garden, and fitness centers

I have taken the driving test through D.A.R.S. and the state of Texas. Of which I aced it both times after the 3 day long test of driving, 6 hours each day. This test was rigorous one with a Toyota Sienna van they provided, for the test. It accommodated my physical handicap with the use of ramp, swivel seat and hand controls, and a tripod attached to the steering wheel.

The tripod attached to steering wheel is an adaptive agent designed for myself to be able to steer the steering wheel. The hand controls are designed for my disability, so that I can control acceleration and braking of the vehicle. The ramp is designed for obvious reasons, for me to be able to roll my chair up into the vehicle. ( this usually also requires a dropped floor according to Federal regulations). Then I position myself behind the driver seat. The swivel seat, usually referred to as a captain's chair, is designed for a person such as myself; to be able to transfer from the wheelchair into the driver seat. 

Vehicles that have these already on them are extremely expensive. Motor vehicles that you can buy with the equipment installed are even more expensive. Our fine government tends to make society believe that we haven't made or that it's easy to obtain these things. This is not the case. 

I will not deny that some people do have an added advantage financially. In the event that some individuals retain substantial amounts of money that came from lawsuits after their accidents. However, that was not the case in of my accident. I have been reliant on our government for help since the accident.

Because of my young age, I was not even eligible for regular disability. I am currently on Social Security Supplemental income, which allows for $502 as a monthly payment to pay for my bills, groceries and expenses. I am also on a P8- 11 program to help pay for my rent. So as you can see that is not much to go on.

A wheelchair van can cost anywhere from $40,000 to $100,000. Wheelchair van prices can be broken down into the price of the van itself and the cost of additional modifications. The cost of a van can range from $20,000 all the way up to $70,000. The cost of handicap van modifications ranges from $15,000 to $30,000.
