Gary, You might also suggest to her that she listen or call in to the Yard
Sale on KTRS AM 550 Saturday mornings between seven and 9 A.M. I have heard
of those type of lifts being for sale on the show before. The call-in number
is 314 969-KTRS or 314 969-5877 they give out the number when the show comes
on the air at about 7:05 and several times throughout the show.

>> Good evening folks.  Some of you who are long-time members and
>> particularly
>> those who live in the St. Louis area will remember our friend Debbie
>> Kozolowski.  In addition to blindness, Debbie now has multiple sclerosis.
>> She has contacted me to ask that we assist her in the raising of $25,000
>> for
>> a modification to her van so she can get in and out of it independently.
>> You and I both know the difficulty involved in this request: a monetary
>> request which far outstrips our ability to match it, a questionable
>> relationship to blindness, and even the lack of participation, at least 
>> in
>> recent years.  Nevertheless, not knowing all there is to know about
>> resources available, I told Debbie that I would be glad to put this
>> question
>> to our lists and see if there is any way we might be able to help her.
>>
>> If any of you know of resources we might direct Debbie to, please send me
>> a
>> note and I will pass the information along to her.
>>
>> Warmest regards,
>>
