Stephy's Bio:
My name is Stephanie LaPlante, I'm 24 years old and I live in the wonderful country of Canada. I'm not sure how to describe myself besides being random and often times weird. People tell me I have a great sense of humor and I definitely enjoy kidding around. I love being around my family and friends all the time. For those who dont know, I'm in a wheelchair. I was born with Spinal Muscular Atrophy which does not mean I'm paralyzed. I "do" feel my legs. SMA has a lot of similarities to Muscular Dystrophy, except it effects the nervous system rather then the muscles alone. It basically means, the older I get, the weaker my muscles become. Better news is they almost have a cure for what I have. There's still a long way to go but I believe I will be here when it happens. The upcoming cure is supposed to reverse this. So maybe one day, I’ll be able to walk. This life has definitely been a battle but I'm winning with a great big smile on my face. Even though it gets hard sometimes, I absolutely adore my life and the people in it.
HELP FREE STEPHY by helping her get a wheelchair van!!!
Without a wheelchair van, life is difficult. My muscles have deteriorated to the point that I'm 24/7 care, making it impossible for public transportation. Although I've lost my muscles, my spirit is very much alive. If I had a wheelchair van, I could go to the doctors, back to school, and best of all, see my friends and family who I miss deeply.
I've done some serious brain storming about how to get a wheelchair van and I think this may be my only hope.
To buy a new one is around $70,000 ... can't do that.
To buy a used van that works is around $30,000 ... can't do that.
To buy a brand new Dodge Grand Caravan (taxes included) would come to $24,500 and March of Dimes would convert it into a wheelchair van for FREE!
Even though that's the cheapest option, I can't do it on my own. If 24,500 people give me $1, they'll be giving me back the life I so desperately need. Please invite everyone you know.
