  •  I received this in an e-mail today and thought I'd share it with the group...It's a new fund set up to help a young person (not sure what ages though) receive money to buy/adapt a vehicle and increase their independence. Here's a little more about it from the site:

     

    One young person from a rural area (preferred) will be selected to receive approximately $4,500 in order to purchase or modify a vehicle that will make independence and employment possible! If you would like to apply or nominate someone for the award, please complete this form.  A short (one page) essay on how an accessible vehicle will increase independence is required. For further information or alternative formats, please contact Eleanor Canter by email at eleanor@ncil.org.  A winner will be selected collaboratively by representatives from NCIL, APRIL and NYLN.  The winning applicant will be announced July, 2008.
    
    Check out more information by clicking this link: http://www.ncil.org/resources/autofund.html

    Good luck!

  • What a wonderful gift for a young disabled person. I wish I knew someone I could nominate. Go Candy! I hope you get it.
