MARINE VET with MS HERO who NEEDS our help! HANDICAP VAN

My name is Marnie, I am sending a wish request for my friend Scott Bates (posted in my profile pic). He is a Marine Vet with MS! He tried to win a new handicap mobility van and didn't! Since then, he has purchased a USED handicap van that needs some body work and upgrades. I am posting the link to his story which shows his van and a TV interview! Scott can not use his arms or legs. He is a graphic designer by using a micro chip on his hat that tells his brain to tell the computer what to do! He likes to design cars for NASCAR drivers and did so last year for JJ Yeley! My wish is for him to have the money he needs to fix his handicap van or a brand new one that doesn't need fixing. Scott fought for our country and now he needs our help! He is an INSPIRATION to us all to NEVER GIVE UP! I can't think of a better way to thank a Vet than by giving back! Him and his family NEED and DESERVE it! http://www.ernhrtfanracing.com/mobility.html#.T7UCkBxPYdA.twitter I know they would be so very grateful and thankful! Please HELP! I thank you very much!

    Thank you for serving our country. My Fiance is in the Army and I know what everyone you love has gone through! I know it isn't much (I am currently trying to pay for a wedding) but if I can I will donate more!

Charles from Handicapped Vehicle Services Unlimited may be able to work on the van for Scott and said he will be calling him. As a Wish Ambassador for Wish Upon A hero, I was trying to find someone that was willing to fix Scotts van as a donation or for a discount. Please let me know whatever you decide. Thank you.

We are donating an additional $1650 on top of what was donated on the wish. We were going to continue to push this wish but you hve marked it granted. Did you raise the full $5,000?

MarnieDulian 11 months ago

I have question, shouldn't the total amount of the wish granted be different then?

MarnieDulian 11 months ago
