GoFundMe Campaign For Wheelchair Van In Pleasantville

PLEASANTVILLE, NY — A Pleasantville family is conducting a fundraising campaign on GoFundMe. They're hoping to raise $160,000 to cover the cost of a wheelchair van and modifications for their house.

Chris and Dianna Ryan moved to Westchester to be close to Blythedale Children's Hospital, after New York City hospitals fought to keep their baby Emma alive.

Now five years later, Emma usually has a big smile when she comes home from the hospital's day program. But legally blind, unable to talk, sit up, crawl, or reach. she is about to outgrow her car seat. And they need a lift in her bedroom for when she's too big to pick up.

So far the Ryans have raised almost $70,000 toward their goal.
