Help Daniel Gain his independence

I’m Daniel. I’m 20 years old and I was born with Tibia Aplasia Ectrodactyly Syndrome, a rare condition that caused the tibias in both legs not to form during development. It also caused my hands to develop incorrectly. However, I have never let anything about my condition stop me or slow me down. I attended public school without assistance graduating with honors from Poca High in 2022. I wrestled for Poca all through school. I work at the YMCA in Scott Depot. I am a very independent person.

Like most young adults, I have had the desire to drive for a while. I think that being able to drive myself will give me the independence I need to pursue the goals I have for my future. In January, I was able to obtain my driver’s license. To be able to drive though, I will need a modified van, fitted and customized for my specific needs. The cost of this can be upwards of $50K.
