Molly has complex special needs and until now we have managed fine with our large VW Sharan. She is now much to big to lift in and out of the car. Despite having a specialist car seat which has a three point harness, and a seat belt, if she is angry and doesn't want to travel, she has learnt to undo all the straps and wriggle out. This makes journeys a nightmare with many stops to re-strap her in. We have applied for a car through the governement Motability scheme. To get a car large enough to fit our other two children in, we need a large WAV and needed to find a down payment of £2495. We applied for a grant to cover the deposit however we could only get a grant to cover £1695 and are £800 short.

We had hoped since submitting our application that a miracle might happen and we manage to find the money in the time needed but the documents have come through and the miracle has yet to surface.

Without the car I can't get Molly in and out, if she is non-compliant we also get bitten and scratched. The new car has a ramp at the back so I can just wheel her in and she can travel securely in the back.
