Terry Davis, an internet sensation thanks to his unforgettable “Put It in Reverse Terry” video, urgently needs a new wheelchair-accessible van. 

According to a recent GoFundMe page, Davis’ old vehicle is beyond repair, and he needs a new one to maintain his mobility. 

Davis became an overnight sensation after a YouTube video posted on July 5, 2017, went viral, showing him lighting fireworks in his wheelchair on the Fourth of July. 

As the fireworks went off, Davis struggled to move his wheelchair out of the way, while a man recording the video yelled, “Back up Terry! Put it in reverse Terry!”

Davis’ Accident and Spinal Injury

Terry Davis, from Tennessee, suffered a serious spinal injury over 15 years ago, and since then, he has been using a wheelchair to move around. 

Terry is a kind-hearted and positive individual, despite the severe challenges he faces daily. Terry is admired and loved by many social media and internet users for his positive and enthusiastic spirit.

Earlier, Davis’ loyal followers had helped him replace his portable ramp and wheelchair, which was a great help to him. 

Winnie Wright, a news personality, stated on Facebook that, despite numerous efforts, Davis has not made a cent from merchandise sales with his name or image.

Urgent Need for a New Wheelchair-Accessible Van

Davis’ old wheelchair-accessible van is now beyond repair, and it is a major problem that needs urgent attention. 

Davis lived with his mother, who acted as his primary caregiver, and his old vehicle was essential for their mobility and daily routines. 

The vehicle used to take Davis to medical appointments, therapy sessions, and other essential and nonessential outings for Terry’s mental and emotional well-being. 

Without a new one, he could not maintain his mobility or meet his daily needs.

The GoFundMe Campaign and Davis’ Appeal for Help

His mother started a GoFundMe page with the goal of raising $25,000 to buy a new van and replace the old one.

Although the campaign has already raised $6,200, Davis and his family still require an additional $18,800 to reach the goal.

Davis is asking for assistance in purchasing a new van so that he can regain his independence and mobility.

He requires a vehicle that can be made wheelchair-accessible on the side or back, has room for his wheelchair, and can be made to meet his requirements.

He hopes that viewers of his video titled “Put It in Reverse Terry,” which has already received millions of views on YouTube, will assist him.
