Is there any financial resources available for a paraplegic to get a specially equipped vehicle?

Question

My sister's best friend is a 34 year old mother of two and is totally independent except for she does not have a vehicle. She has a spinal cord injury and has a wheelchair. She has only 2 more semesters left before she can graduate with her teaching degree, she was finishing up her internship when she had her accident and is ready to go back and start a new life for her and her kids. Any information you could give me would be wonderful!

Answer 1

we live in california. my wife has been in a wheelchair for the last 30 years due to a spinal cord injury. i don't know of anything other than if the person has some kind of insurance. if you buy a new car from a dealer they will give you an allowance for handicapped equipment on the vehicle usually around 2500.00 dollars
