Need Tow Hitch for my van for my wheelchair.

I have mobility issues from a stroke a little over a year ago and need my wheelchair for both at home and for outings with my family such as grocery store trips and everyday things like that. I have an electric wheelchair so it is too heavy for my husband to lift into my van and my husband is going to Korea soon for a one yr tour, so I need it especially so I can go about my life getting appointments and groceries for me and my four kiddos. I have a 2002 Dodge Van Caravan. I have the lift and my wheelchair but its useless without a tow hitch. I really would appreciate someone to help me with this so I can be more independent taking care of my family while my husband is gone to Korea.
