I want to help the elderly and disabled people in my community with
their daily transportation needs. I need funds to purchase a
specialized wheelchair van to accomidate my clientelle.
I have always loved helping people in need. I started my journey
as a volunteer firefighter, and became an EMT. I spent the next 15
years working on an ambulance responding to emergencies.
I learned that a lot of people in our communities are in need of
help. Elderly and people with disabilities, have the worst time. They
rely on public transportation that is not suited to their specific
needs. I want to start a transport service that caters to these
special needs groups. A lot of people don’t even realize their
insurance covers payment of transportation if needed. These people
depend on public transportation because they don’t know they can get
better service that they don’t have to pay out of pocket for.
The plan is to purchase a rear entry wheelchair van with a
specialized wheelchair ramp with the funds raised here and get the
company up and running quickly. Then I want to run an advertising
campaign to make more people aware of their transportation options. I
have already contracted with an established franchise that does this
in multiple areas, and I am looking at putting up 2 of these
specialized wheelchair transport vans in the Atlanta area. Thank you
for taking the time to review my proposal.
