Question: I am trying to find a program to help get my 32-year-old brother a wheelchair-accessible vehicle. He is on long-term disability due to a car accident 2 years ago that severed his aorta, put him in a coma for 21 days and left him paralyzed from the waist down. They have a Ford Taurus right now and really no room in the vehicle. They have 2 sons aged 1 1/2 and 2 ½, so the car seats take up the back seat. He has great difficulty getting in and out of the car and does not go out much due to these issues. ~Pam
