Handicap Transport and You: The Story of Little Nesha Rosic and the Bryce Family of California

Tuesday, September 9th, 2008

Little Nesha Rosic, an adopted Yugoslavian orphan suffering from the rare Alper’s Disease which may cause developmental delay, progressive mental retardation, dementia, low muscle tone, stiffness of the limbs and even cirrhosis of the liver, lived with his American family in the beautiful California mountains. Each day Nesha’s family would drive him into town for a quiet walk in the park and his favorite activity of feeding the ducks. However on little Nesha’s 9th birthday things became much more difficult for the Bryce family. When his father Robert came to awake his little boy with a sweet song of “Happy Birthday to You” he found that Nesha was unable to get out of bed himself. Robert Bryce scooped little Nesha up into his arms and quickly took him to the family doctor who told him that little Nesha would need a wheelchair from that day on.

The Bryce family had no idea where to purchase a wheelchair, let alone take the necessary steps to insure their son would have a lively and enjoyable lifestyle. However, that night, after Robert had tucked little Nesha into bed, he and his wife Roxanne determined that they would do whatever it takes to give their little boy a happy life. Roxanne began frantically searching the internet for the best possible wheelchair for Nesha.

After finding a wonderful wheelchair to order on-line, Roxanne saw something that made her shout, “Robert come quick, look at this!” Robert rushed over to the computer and was as excited as his dear wife Roxanne was seconds earlier. There on the monitor was a selection of both new and used wheelchair vans at amazingly low prices they could afford. Of course, no price would have been to high for them if it meant little Nesha’s happiness would be increased.

They found a used wheelchair van that looked just perfect for their family. It was a 2007 Dodge Grand Caravan conversion with a lowered floor, rear entry, manual fold out ramp, 4 point manual tie downs and all the extras you could hope for, all for under $30,000. Now this was a van that would suit little Nesha!

As Robert and Roxanne were preparing to email the website to arrange purchase and pick up of the wheelchair van, something else caught Robert’s eye. “Roxanne, look at that one!” Roxanne looked to the right of the screen and quickly clicked on the picture to see more details. There on the page before them was a brand new 2008 Ford E-150 with a Mobility Works conversion, full 6” lowered floor, handicap conversion interior and once again, all the extras one could hope for. Now this was a vehicle that little Nesha would truly love, and if he felt like a prince in the family’s old station wagon before, he would feel like king in this luxury wheelchair van.

Today, Robert and Roxanne Bryce can be found driving their luxury wheelchair van to their favorite park, wheeling little Nesha around while he shouts with delight, and, all three of them feeding the ducks Nesha loves so much.
