Hi Everyone,
I do some web work for GM and thought it might be helpful to let you all know about the GM Mobility page on Facebook. They offer a really good program that helps people continue their day-to-day activities by helping pay for adaptive equipment on new GM vehicles. Check it out when you have some time http://bit.ly/c1efdX .
