πŸ’™ Help Us Support Cole Garland πŸ’™Β 

Cole is 20 years old and lives every day with Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB) β€” a rare, painful skin condition that makes even the smallest tasks difficult. But Cole? He’s a fighter. A true warrior who shows strength despite constant medical appointments, procedures, and daily pain.Β 

Right now, the Garland family needs our help.Β 

Cole now uses a new wheelchair that better supports his needs β€” but their current van can’t transport it. That means every outing involves lifting Cole in and out by hand and using a chair that isn’t safe or comfortable. It’s exhausting and dangerous.Β 

They need a wheelchair-accessible van with an internal lift or major modifications to their existing vehicle. These vans can cost $60,000 to $70,000, but the family plans to trade in their current van to help with the cost. Even with that, the gap is more than most families can manage alone.Β 

This isn’t a luxury β€” it’s a lifeline.Β 

They travel out of state for Cole’s care, and safe transportation is critical for his comfort, safety, and access to medical treatment.Β 

We are their community, and together we can help lift this burden.Β 

πŸ’™ Every donation counts.
πŸ’™ Every share matters.
πŸ’™ Let’s show the Garlands they’re not alone.Β 

Let’s make sure Cole can get to his care safely, live with more dignity, and feel the love of the people rooting for him.
