Help Kelley Pasmanick Gain Independence with a Wheelchair-Accessible Vehicle

Kelley Pasmanick is a determined and accomplished individual living with cerebral palsy, a congenital neuromuscular condition that affects mobility. To maintain her independence, secure full-time employment, and participate fully in her community, Kelley needs a wheelchair-accessible vehicle. Her goal is to raise $65,000 to purchase a specially-equipped Kia Soul.
Kelley holds a Master of Fine Arts in Writing and is fluent in Spanish. Her skills span business, technical, scholarly, and creative writing. With professional experience in communications, nonprofit management, healthcare advocacy, and public assistance programs like SSI, Medicaid, and SNAP, Kelley is known for her attention to detail, strong work ethic, and resilience in the face of challenges.
While Kelley values her independence deeply, she recognizes that achieving this next step requires community support. As she often says, “It’s either chutzpah or stupidity, but I never give up.” She invites others to match her determination by contributing to her campaign. Every donation is tax-deductible, and no amount is too small to make a difference.
