Summary: Johhny and crew, I’ve never been good asking for help, but I really need support with getting freedom back in my life for wheel-chair lift for the truck. I have been fighting Parkinson’s Disease for 6 years now, and 5 back surgeries. Luckily the company I work for has accommodated me with working from home. BUT home has been my life for over a year now. I fought BCBS Insurance for over 6 months to just get my powered wheelchair covered. The problem is my BCBS insurance company does not cover any type of lifts for vehicles. I have priced lifts all over KC, the best price I found was at Mobility Plus Platte County and they are still out of my price range. The cost for just the lift is $3500 (trading in an old chair). It must be a special size lift to handle the weight of the chair. Model is AL425HD that handles the weight, I can’t use a hitch style. Story: I have giving up everything in my life, I just can’t even get out of the house now. I take 56 pills each day, yes 56, I can’t afford a lift. Not sure how much more life can throw at me. Then 5 major back surgeries and then Parkinson’s. Guys, I need help to gain some freedom again, any help please. I even tried looking at used but the few I tried did not fit or needed to many parts replaced to use. Love you guys, please see if you can help.
