An ABC News exclusive, tells the story of Ryan Gotto, a 21-year-old with cerebral palsy is pleading for the return of his specially-equipped, handicapped accessible van.

"It's a real hopeless feeling," said Christy. "It's overwhelming because we rely on our community. We are out and about. And it's scary to think if Ryan had to go to the doctor, he needs to go to therapy tomorrow, we're stuck."

The report states that "So specifically tailored to Ryan's needs, the minivan with modifications cost more than $60,000. It looks like a 2012 White Toyota Sienna, with a ramp for Ryan's wheelchair."
