Help Bernard Giddings Get a New Conversion Van


Bernard Giddings story

Attention all Van Sharks supporters and van life enthusiasts!


Meet Bernard Giddings, a towering figure standing at 6ft 4in with a heart as big as his stature. Bernard has always been an active and beloved member of our Houston community, known for his warm spirit and resilience. 



Unfortunately, Bernard recently suffered a stroke, which has dramatically impacted his mobility and ability to live independently. The need for specialized transportation has become urgent to ensure he can attend medical appointments and regain some of his lost freedom.


To address this critical need, Van Sharks, in partnership with UH “H” Association, is stepping up to support Bernard by organizing a BBQ Plated Dinner Fundraiser. 


This event is not just a chance to enjoy delicious BBQ, but it’s a heartfelt opportunity to make a real difference in someone’s life. Bernard needs a custom conversion van tailored to his medical requirements, and with your help, we can make this happen.
