Half Pints Vital Electric Wheelchair

Donation protected
I am raising money for my other half, Pearl Kelly who suffers from a rare genetic condition called "Neurofibromatosis". 20 year old Pearl has severe Scoliosis on the back of the "NF" and hasn't grown an inch since she was 8 years old when an operation to straighten her spine put a stop to this. As a result she is nicknamed Half Pint!Standing at just 4'1", Half Pint gets around everywhere on her crutches, including to her voluntary position at The Brain Charity. In August 2016 She was taken to hospital with severe pains in her abdomen, an X-Ray was taken and she was cleared and discharged. For two weeks Pear resorted to her wheelchair which she hadn't used for years and later found out she had a broken hip and it had been overlooked by the hospital and even when they found out about her hip, they failed to notify her of the injury. Pearl always goes the extra mile for people and uses her manual wheelchair to get around when she is in too much pain to use her crutches. It has been decided an electric wheelchair is the way to go, but she can't get funding and needs a special child sized chair because of her size. Together, I'm sure we can fund a child sized electric wheelchair for Half Pint!
