Twigg family gets life-changing van - Delmarva Daily Times
Twigg family gets life-changing van After losing out on a national contest for a wheelchair-accessible van, the community and an anonymous donor have provided the money for Danielle Twigg to buy a van for her 9-year-old wheelchair-bound son. com/story/news/local/delaware/2015/06/25/twigg-family-gets-van/29271849/ Chelsea Hudson wasn't sure the GoFundMe campaign she started to help raise money for her friend, Danielle Twigg, to pay for a wheelchair-accessible van would become fully... She began another round of reaching out to local businesses, then she got the message that would change her longtime friend's life. He came across the campaign and wanted to help. After Twigg lost out on a National Mobility Month contest to win a van, Eve Slocum of Ocean City reached out with an offer to purchase her van at a reduced price. Twigg has been in need of the van to help transport her 9-year-old son, Layne, who is wheelchair-bound and growing to the point where carrying him started to put a physical toll on her. Slocum used the van for her wheelchair-bound son, who died in September. As a result, she no longer needed the van for its unique functions, but needed money for her own vehicle. Hudson couldn't believe it. At one point she thought it was spam. Twigg does not know who the mystery donor is, but she does have a message for him: "I would give him the biggest hug in the world and just tell him that thank you is not enough," she said, fighting back tears.
