A wife who had used a wheelchair for 14 months following a spinal injury. A two-story home where the bedroom was upstairs. A residential elevator quote of $18,000 — insurance classifying it as home improvement rather than medical necessity. A 541 credit score. Three offers in 26 minutes.
Apply Free — Home Elevator Loan →David and Sarah had lived in their two-story home for eleven years. After Sarah's spinal injury fourteen months ago, David had converted the living room into a bedroom — a temporary solution that had become a semi-permanent arrangement because the upstairs bedroom, their bedroom, the one where they had built eleven years of their life together, was inaccessible to a wheelchair.
They had explored ramps, stair lifts, and platform lifts. The stair configuration in their home — curved staircase, narrow landing — made standard stair lifts incompatible. A residential elevator was the right solution for their layout: a 36-by-48-inch shaft installed against the existing stair wall, serving both floors, rated for wheelchair use. Quote from a certified installer: $18,000 installed and permitted.
Their homeowner's insurance and health insurance both classified the elevator as a home improvement — neither would cover it. Their savings had $2,400. David's credit score was 541.

— Why current income tells a more complete story than a credit score aloneHealth insurance and homeowner's insurance both typically classify residential elevators as home improvements rather than medical equipment — regardless of the clinical situation that makes them necessary. A personal loan based on income history removes the insurance classification from the equation. A personal loan from Money247.com funds accessibility modifications on a human timeline rather than an insurance coverage timeline.
Sarah's elevator was installed and permitted six weeks after the loan funded. She has used it every day since. David has made 8 monthly payments of $501. His credit score moved from 541 to 571. The living room is a living room again. They sleep in their bedroom. Fourteen months of a temporary solution are behind them.
