Community Heroes: Palm Bay Comes Together to Support Local Family’s Wheelchair Van Dream
In the heart of Brevard County, something remarkable is happening. Our community isn’t just talking about making a difference—we’re actually doing it. Right now, the Cook family needs our help, and Palm Bay is proving once again why we’re more than just neighbors—we’re a family.
Who are the Cooks and Why Do They Need Our Support?
Meet the Cook family and their son Quamaree, a local child with a disability who desperately needs a wheelchair-accessible van. But this isn’t just about transportation—it’s about freedom, independence, and showing what community support truly means.
The Challenge: More Than Just a Vehicle
A wheelchair-accessible van isn’t a luxury for the Cook family—it’s a lifeline. These specialized vehicles can cost upwards of $50,000, placing them far beyond the reach of most families. But here’s where our community’s heart shines brightest.
How Palm Bay is Stepping Up
Local residents, businesses, and community organizations are rallying together to make this dream a reality. From fundraisers to social media campaigns, every effort counts. We’re not just raising money; we’re lifting spirits.
Key Ways Our Community is Making a Difference:
• Local businesses hosting donation drives
• Social media awareness campaigns
• Community fundraising events
• Personal donations from compassionate residents
Why This Matters More Than Money
This isn’t just about a van. It’s about showing Quamaree and his family that they’re valued, supported, and never alone. Every dollar raised is a message of hope, every shared post a testament to our community’s compassion.
How You Can Help

The Ripple Effect of Community Support
When we come together, we create more than just change—we create hope. The Cook family’s journey reminds us that in Palm Bay, no one fights their battles alone.
A Call to Action: Be the Change
Today, I’m challenging every Brevard County resident to do something. Even a small contribution can make a massive difference. Let’s show the world what community really means.
