wheelchair van

We all need some way to secure our wheelchairs in our wheelchair conveyance (minivan, full sized van, etc.). For most of us, that seems to boil down to either a system that straps the wheelchair in (such as QStraint) or one that automatically locks the wheelchair in place (such as the EZlock)...

I've been looking on eBay and autotrader and various other sites for used accessible vans. I am shocked at how expensive they are. Even the ones that are 10 years old with over 100,000 miles are between $12,000 and $15,000. I just can't justify spending that kind of money on a van. What if I'm...

Good morning Cals and Pals so woke up hurting so bad think my fingers one on each hand is kinda sprang. It's hard to hold things and if I pull or rug at anything it hurts so bad. I already had GERD but lately it's been bad probably due to improper eating and stress eating lately. I don't know...
