Her story
Living with POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome), fibromyalgia, and a connective tissue disorder among other issues has made everyday activities incredibly challenging for me. Tasks like grocery shopping, attending events, and even participating in at-home chores has become difficult due to pain, fatigue, dizziness, instability, and a high heart rate among other symptoms.
 
To manage mobility, I currently mostly use a cane and a rollator. I also use the electric carts to shop at the grocery store but I often have the issue where all of the carts are taken leaving me without and having to suffer through the shopping trip and ultimately cutting it short because I can’t deal with the pain and other symptoms. As time goes on my body has continued to worsen, to where a cane or rollator are no longer enough for some days. I also have a standard hospital style wheelchair but the physical strain of using such a heavy and bulky chair makes movement more difficult and requires someone else to push me. I previously purchased a used ridged chair but it ended in disappointment when the frame turned out to be warped and cracked making it unsafe to use and leaving me out on the money I paid for it. I have spent over a year trying to find a different chair that would work for me within my budget to no avail.
 
This is why I am raising funds for a custom wheelchair that will provide the comfort, support, and mobility needed to regain some independence. A chair designed for my specific needs will make it easier to live my daily life with less pain and strain.
 
While I have managed to save $200 toward this goal, the full cost of a custom chair is still out of reach. To help raise additional funds, I am also selling vinyl decals and other items. Every contribution, whether through the GoFundMe or by purchasing a decal, brings me one step closer to making this much-needed wheelchair a reality.
 
With these funds I plan to purchase a brand new custom to my needs paradox project wheelchair from the company Not a Wheelchair (funny name for a place to get a wheelchair from I know), pay for the shipping of it and the extras I would need for it.
Thank you for being part of this journey and for your generosity. It truly means the world.
