Regarding financial assistance, there are several options you might consider:

- **Financial Assistance Programs**: Organizations like the National MS Society have been known to provide financial help. Additionally, some car manufacturers offer refunds for adding hand controls if you purchase a new car.
- **Health Savings Accounts**: If you have an HSA or FSA, you might be able to use these funds for vehicle adaptations.
- **Local Nonprofits and Government Aid**: Local nonprofit organizations and government agencies might offer financial support for vehicle modifications.
It's worth exploring these options to reduce the dependency on others for transportation.
