My parents had a '97 Dodge Caravan that they probably purchased around the same time you got yours. They got it because my mother, who had MS, used an electric scooter, and they were able to get the Caravan with a ramp that came out that she could drive it into the Caravan. After my mother died, my father sold it to my sister in law's cousin, whose kid has bad cerebral palsy, and when the engine and trans went, he junked it, as he didn't know Richard, or anyone like him. The job Richard did for you, and the sticker you put on the car for him are touching!
I used to kid my mother, calling the Caravan her hot-rod minivan, which delighted her (it was the most powerful car my parents had ever had by a substantial margin), and I also thought it was surprisingly good looking. (Somewhere I have a print of it.)
Just sent you photos as you requested. Wonderful story about your mother's hot-rod minivan. I bought the car at the Dodge dealer in Maynard MA when I lived in Sudbury and worked at DEC. Its even been driven in New York City. I have well over 200,000 miles on it. When it rolled over to 200,000 I stopped to take a photo and there was a herd of long horn steers in the field by the road -- a great background for the photo!

We have some similar motivations for one of our granddaughters. The minivan is much lower to the ground and easier to access for her.
that must make a huge difference for her.
