Help me Get my Life Back… Help me get some wheels!

Hi Guys!  So, I’m finally ready to admit my crutches… aren’t enough.  I’m missing out on so much because my mobility is so limited by my pain and exhaustion.  I bought a manual wheelchair a couple of months ago- but the days when I need it most… I can’t use it because my hands are in so much pain that I can’t grip or maneuver the wheel rims.  

.

So, I need help.  I found a relatively lightweight power chair that can be folded to go in my car’s backseat or trunk, and that I should be able to get in and out on my own.  The battery life is pretty good, and… it’s actually cheaper than a lot of custom-built manual chairs.

.

But it’s still well out of my reach financially.  So, I need your help!  Please, if you can, consider donating to my youcaring fundraiser- or, share this post so other’s who can afford to can donate.

.

Right now it’s a challenge even for me to get to class 2x a week, and forget about trying to actually DO anything else.  This chair could finally give me my life back.  And the less energy I expend on just… getting around, the more I have to get back to work on PSA and other projects.  Not to mention- it would be nice to feel like I have the freedom and energy to see friends and family again more regularly.  

.

I know a lot of ya’ll here at PSA have your own medical financial challenges.  So even if you can’t donate… please consider sharing this post?  My insurance sucks, and this is the only way I can see to actually get my mobility back.  I want my life back.  Please help me take it back.

You can donate HERE and really, every little bit helps.
