What happens when a bright childhood of Noah Mischiek is taken away by a paralysis attack leaving his right side of the body functionless? Hear the story of Noah Mischiek of how it was before and after he was the owner of his personal handicap accessible van.
�The kids love it! We use it every time we go in the van. As soon as we get in, it's �can we watch a movie?� They�ve already seen Noah's favourite movie Cars several times�.At three years old, Noah started wearing a serial cast on his right leg to help him walk. The cast is removed for a day then put back on for gradually longer periods of time. The brave pre-schooler also gets Botox injections three times a year in the back of his right leg. The injections are to help relax his leg muscles that were damaged as a result of the stroke, with the eventual hope of Noah walking on his own.�Olivia was getting to the point we couldn't put her into our vehicle anymore, so we had to get something that would allow us easier access. With the new wheelchair accessible van, its much easier to transfer Olivia to and from the van. My husband showed me how to do it in five minutes, and that was it�, noted Anna.But why just cell phones? If the real intent of the law is to eliminate distractions from our roadways, why not ban them all? Summers could justifiably expand the proposal to include a ban on smoking in the car, adjusting the radio or inserting a Britney Spears CD, eating fast food, scolding the rug rats in the backseat, talking with your spouse, shaving or applying makeup, doing the crossword puzzle, using a laptop computer, calling for on-screen directions to Starbucks, and rehearsing your excuse that explains your tardiness to the boss.Now that he owns a wheelchair accessible van, Noah would love to visit Marineland Canada next summer� and they just might do that, thanks to Liberty Motor Company!Before the law is done with revisions, no common person will be able to read and understand it, and mainly, drivers will just continue to take their chances.Mainly, that is because no lawmaker wants to look like a slacker, especially so soon after an election. It�s bad form. As a result, we get some hideous proposals that I would chalk up as an effort to hide behind some broad good intention while looking meaningful, or at least busy.This law is rife with problems, from practical application to the higher concerns of individual liberty.Over two years later Noah�s family is able to take vacations in between trips to the hospital and medical treatments because of their wheelchair accessible van conversion from Liberty Motor Co. In fall 2009, the family travelled to Cape Breton on Canada�s eastern coast to visit relatives.Olivia is quick witted and has been able to spell her name since she was two and a half. When the family recently visited the Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation hospital in Toronto, Ontario, where Olivia has appointments every six months, she named all the towns the family travelled through in their wheelchair accessible van.Now when the family takes the van for a drive, Olivia often asks, �Are we taking my van or yours?�Wheelchair Accessible Van Provides Easy MobilityWhen Jamie saw Frank drive up with the van, she was very emotional, �I just bawled my eyes out. Frank had put a personalized plaque inside the van ... it was overwhelming.�Call me strange, but I rather prefer a Legislature that goofs off and under produces new laws. I�m convinced we have enough of them already, and agree with Mark Twain, who famously said that no man�s life, liberty, or property is safe while the Legislature is in session.I know four friends, right off the top of my head, who would gladly pay up to $25, as a cost of doing business. They think this highly of each and every one of their calls. $25 is no kind of deterrent for these people.In order to meet their daughter's dynamic and changing physical needs, Olivia�s family purchased one of Liberty Motor Company�s handicap conversion vans. Before they purchased their white 2004 rear-entry Ford Freestar, with a power wheelchair lift, transporting Olivia had become very difficult. With the help of the technicians and specialists at Liberty Motor Company, the family enjoys more travel because Olivia can enter and exit the van safely and in comfort.�They told us he would never walk. He's like our miracle baby!� notes Jamie Rolland, Noah's mother.Despite his disability, Noah was always very independent and wanted to do things for himself. While his parents were told he would never walk, Noah demonstrated the ability to take steps, which came as a great surprise for many.
Now that he owns a wheelchair accessible van, Noah would love to visit Marineland Canada next summer� and they just might do that, thanks to Liberty Motor Company!
