On January 14th I was given a gift I had dreamed about for the last several years-keys to a ramp van that I will be able to drive. Many of you know the story and were essential in transforming this idea into a reality. NMEDA hosted a celebratory party and many friends and family joined in the celebration. I have had my first driving lesson-and although I feared that I would careen into oncoming traffic, I managed through the 2 hour lesson and felt exhausted but empowered! Before I know it, driving will just be part of my life.
I will always remember to feel gratitude to all the collective energy that put me behind the wheel. I was utterly blown away with the enthusiasm engendered from friends and family-YOU made this happen! The votes, the money raised to cover the taxes and the donations from NMEDA, Honda, VMI, MobilityWorks and other vendors just shows that there is generosity and good in this world and I will do my best to be deserving of it and spread it around. Thank you all so much for your unwavering encouragement and support!
