The Klamath River Festival was a huge success and a great time! We raised enough money to cover the mobility conversion for our new van and enough to pay for some therapy in San Diego!! A huge thanks to all who attended, donated and helped out. I'm honored and feel blessed to have this amazing support! Check out the pics and more to follow!
Big news! We're getting a new van and it's a Sprinter! As it turns out a Sprinter set up for a wheelchair costs the same or less than setting up a minivan for a wheelchair. It's also going to be set up for camping...yay!!! When it's all said and done we will have saved a few thousand when compared to a minivan and we have a much more useful vehicle! Oh, and it'll be set up for me to drive!!
I'm 99% done with my MS in Civil Engineering and I've started the job search. It's a slow process, but it's going great and its just a matter of time. I'm hoping to find a position doing some kind of hydrologic and/or hydraulic engineering involving rivers. I can't even begin to tell you what an awesome organization Swim With Mike is. They've paid for my entire Master' program, which has definitely opened up some doors for me and has been long time goal of mine!
Many of you have asked what my plans are. Right now I'm taking a break from therapy and working on getting a home program going. I had to take a break from the therapy because I can't afford to do therapy and replace my van. My plan is to finish school, find a job, establish a routine for therapy at home and take periodic trips to San Diego for additional therapy.
Even though I'm not doing therapy I still have large fundraising needs. A new wheelchair van cost about $70,000. I'm also raising money to get a a Functional Electrical Stimulation bike (~20,000) for home therapy and for a making a trip to San Diego for therapy in November. Thank you so much for your support!!
