Beth Ann Salimbene Medsker hasn't added a story.
Hello!!! We are the Medskers. We are a great family full of challenges and triumphs. Mom and Dad are disabled and haven't been able to work at a job since 2002, Neither are afraid of hard work, we just can't do it anymore. Mom has Cerebral Palsy and dad was in a fire when 3 years old and what started out as 90% now has left over half his body scarred and debilitated. They have both loved service and will drop most anything to come help anyone in need. We both worked (sometimes 3 jobs at a time) untill we both could no longer work in 2002 due to emense pain. We live on disability now which keeps us. Sometimes just barely afloat baring incidents, and with seven members of our family those incidents come too frequently these days. We have a 1999 Chrysler minivan we have fondly named Lexi, (Lxi model) It has been the greatest vehicle traveling in excess of 220000 miles. We spent $1200 when we bought her in 2010 for major repairs to keep her maintained, but she is dying. We love these Chrysler vans for comfort of driving and they seem to not cost a lot to maintain. Our minivan has outlasted any other model car we have owned. We rely on prayers every day and have been so blessed in so many ways we lost count. We are now at a point where we just don't want to purchase another older vehicle and hope that it hasn't been mistreated. We would like one newer as in 2008.. With dad's back, foot and leg most vehicles aren't that comfortable to drive in. If anyone can find it within themselves to help please know we are in need and would appreciate any help we receive. This would be like a dream vehicle for us, but really something safe reliable and fits 7 passengers getting decent gas mileage is needed. We teach our children to not rely on entitlements and to try and work hard every day. We don't eat out, we don't take vacations. We just try to raise our children with values and ethics and imagination to blaze their own trail into the future. This generosity would go miles to instill this principle within them. Please help. Thank you for your consideration.
