HMF a VCR for my younger cousin with cerebral palsy!

My cousin is 20 years old with cerebral palsy and has some habitual tendencies. Since he was a tot, his favorite thing to do is watch his VHS tapes (Barney, Beethoven, Big Daddy, etc.), and today his VCR broke. Again. Except this time we are having a brutal time.of finding another one and he is in a meltdown. We have tried DVDs, but it isn't the same to him. He has had the same VHS tapes His entire life and the entire family has contributed to his collection, they are very sentimental to him. He could tell you which tape is what movie without even reading the label. His mother died shortly after he was born so my grandmother cares for him and she can't afford to pay much to replace it. We have been looking at thrift stores but have yet to find a working one. Any ideas or suggestions would help so much!!
