Johhny and crew,

I’ve never been good asking for help, but I really need support with getting freedom back in my life for wheel-chair lift for the truck.

I have been fighting Parkinson’s Disease for 6 years now, and 5 back surgeries.

Luckily the company I work for has accommodated me with working from home. BUT home has been my life for over a year now.

I fought BCBS Insurance for over 6 months to just get my powered wheelchair covered.

The problem is my BCBS insurance company does not cover any type of lifts for vehicles.

I have priced lifts all over KC, the best price I found was at Mobility Plus Platte County and they are still out of my price range.

The cost for just the lift is $3500 (trading in an old chair). It must be a special size lift to handle the weight of the chair.

Model is AL425HD that handles the weight, I can’t use a hitch style.

Story:

I have giving up everything in my life, I just can’t even get out of the house now.

I take 56 pills each day, yes 56, I can’t afford a lift.

Not sure how much more life can throw at me.

Then 5 major back surgeries and then Parkinson’s.

Guys, I need help to gain some freedom again, any help please. I even tried looking at used but the few I tried did not fit or needed to many parts replaced to use.

Love you guys, please see if you can help.

Jay
