Hello! My name is Tara Herman and I am fundraising to unlock my own independence and build a bridge for others. Living with cerebral palsy has taught me exactly what it takes to navigate a world that isn’t always built for accessibility. Despite the hurdles, I am deeply committed to working, volunteering, and staying active. But I also have a bigger dream: I hope to open my own transportation business dedicated to helping the disabled community get reliable transit outside of limited public transportation.
To achieve my goals, maintain my health, and eventually launch this business, I first need reliable, accessible transportation of my own. Right now, getting to crucial doctor appointments, get a job, volunteer shifts, and daily activities is an uphill battle. A specialized wheelchair van is the vital tool I need to manage my everyday life and gain the mobility required to get my business venture off the ground.
How Your Support Makes an Impact
An accessible vehicle is the foundation for everything I want to accomplish. Your donation will directly help me:
-
Launch a Community Lifeline: Gain the personal mobility needed to build a business that provides alternative transit options for other disabled individuals.
-
Protect My Health: Travel safely and reliably to medical and therapy appointments.
-
Stay Active and Employed: Travel to work and continue volunteering my time in the community.
-
Live Independently: Manage everyday life activities with dignity and freedom.
Why Fundraising with Help Hope Live Matters
Specialized wheelchair vans are incredibly expensive. To raise these funds safely and transparently, I have partnered with the national medical fundraising nonprofit Help Hope Live.
Fundraising with them ensures complete fiscal accountability. Help Hope Live manages all funds raised to pay for my medical and mobility expenses directly, meaning your money is securely handled. Because of this partnership, every donation you make is tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.
By supporting my campaign, you aren’t just helping me buy a van—you are investing in a leader who wants to pay it forward to the entire disabled community. Thank you for your kindness, your generosity, and your support!
My family and friends are raising money for the nonprofit Help Hope Live in my honor Tara Herman, to fund uninsured medical expenses associated with Catastrophic Illness.
I chose to fundraise for Help Hope Live in part because Help Hope Live assures fiscal accountability of funds raised and tax deductibility for contributors. Contributors can be sure donations will be used to pay or reimburse medical and related expenses. To make a tax-deductible donation to this fundraising campaign, click on the GIVE button.
