Bob Larimer was born with cerebral palsy but has long lived an independent life in his own home. As a strong self-advocate, Bob knew it was important for him to have a vehicle to get to medical appointments. The van would need to be accessible and include a side-entry ramp for his wheelchair.

Bob partnered with Care Coordinators, both from Person Centered Services, to write appeal letters for a vehicle through West Herr Auto Group. Because of his advocacy team’s determination and thoroughness, Bob was ultimately selected for the donation of a BraunAbility wheelchair-accessible van

“I want to thank everybody who has been involved with this,” said Bob. “There are too many to mention!”

West Herr Subaru of Orchard Park generously gave the van’s keys to Bob and his self-directed staff on November 20, 2024. Bob can now access the health care he needs to thrive and enjoy a newfound freedom to travel.
