The Garcia Family

Project Completed March 2022. Thank you to everyone who supported the Garcia Family!


AIDAN'S STORY

Aidan, aged 12, and his father need our help. Aidan, a youngster at Oak Middle School, is getting bigger and busier by the day. His single father loads and unloads his heavy chair multiple times throughout the day and lifts Aidan to and from that chair. It is difficult and exhausting.

To support his son's care, Mr. Garcia frequently has to miss work to get Aidan to school and doctor's appointments. With the much-needed purchase of a wheelchair-accessible vehicle, Aidan's father can bring more normalcy to their hectic day and Aidan can use his power wheelchair more often. 

The Ali Family

Project Completed December 2021! Thank you to everyone who helped with the Ali Family on their journey.

The Ali Project

Meet the Ali family. Young men, Hamzah, and his little brother Massoud, are in need of (and deserve) better transportation. Both have been diagnosed with cerebral palsy and will most likely require lifelong care. 


Muriel's Angels, with the help of Aero Mobility, has found the perfect wheelchair-accessible Dodge Grand Caravan for the Ali family. But we need more help with funds. Can you contribute to these young men and their parents today?

In August 2021, Andrew Porras was presented with a gently used wheelchair-accessible minivan at Hope School, where he is a student. His friends, family, and even his Principal took part in the gifting process.

Andrew's reaction was the exact face of surprise everyone was hoping for during his secret delivery at his high school.

The Ramirez Family

Project Completed May 2021. Thank you to everyone who supported the Ramirez Family!

In May 2021, the Ramirez family, including three chair-bound children, received a much-needed full-sized wheelchair-accessible van provided by Aero Mobility and funded by Muriel's Angels. 

Transportation for a family of five is no easy feat so imagine traveling with three chairs. The Ramirez's are such a kind, loving family and we are enjoyed being a part of their newfound freedom. 

The Perez Family

Sandra Ramirez, a smart as a whip 12-year-old girl, was born with Spina Bifida. It's a condition that requires an adaptive accessible vehicle to travel comfortably with her family of four. Muriel's Angels provided funding and support for the family to get a wheelchair-accessible minivan from Aero Mobility.

The Santos Family

Project Completed October 2020. Thank you to everyone who supported the Santos Family!

In October 2020, Muriel's Angels, with support from Aero Mobility gifted a customized wheelchair-accessible van for the Santos Family. Both Maria and Samantha Santos suffer from Muscular Dystrophy, confining them to their wheelchairs. The Santos' new mobility van is customized to accommodate both wheelchairs being able to travel together in comfort and with room left for the whole family. Aero Mobility is honored to partner with Muriel's Angel in seeing this family back on the road.
