New mobility scooter
Donativo protegido
I am asking for your help raising money for a mobility scooter. I had an accident over 8yrs ago and have developed CRPS (Chronic Regional Pain Syndrome) in my whole right leg and into my low back. I also have a couple of broken vertebra (that happened while in a manual transport wheelchair) that causes back muscle spasms. I can use two canes to walk but with the pain I'm limited to about one hundred feet. I now have developed Carpel Tunnel in both arms from the constant cane use. I use my Manual wheelchair which isn't meant for continual use and doesn't fit me well.
I was gifted an old electric wheelchair, which has been a blessing but it is designed for someone smaller then me. I have had to make many repairs to it, replacing batteries and wheels and even having my brother do some welding repairs. Currently one of the two motors is making grinding noises so it may be on its last few miles. It has no suspension and is designed for smooth surfaces. The jarring and rough ride irritates my nerve pain and usually causes severe pain flares.
The scooter that I am raising funds for is a Pride Baja Wrangler 2. It has a comfortable seat and suspension system that would help me tremendously with a smoother ride and less irritation. It would give me the ability to go, not only on rough sidewalks, but also hiking trails and hunting/fishing areas comfortably. It would give me more independence and ability to go more places.
This scooter would also be much more reliable. I love to enjoy the outdoors like fishing, camping, hunting, or just going on a ride. This chair would help me do that again.
