After being on a waiting list to get a lift for more than three years, I am still waiting and still can’t safely get in/out of our house and it’s taking a toll on my mental health. That’s why I’m reaching out to all of you for help.

Hi. My name is Jane Hash and I am a Healthcare Advocate/Content Creator/Mermaid with a disability called Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI) , which is a connective tissue disorder.

There are many types of OI and I have one of the more severe types that is characterized by my short stature, extremely fragile bones and loose joints that pop frequently. In my 51 years I have broken bones hundreds of times from doing things that most people would not consider dangerous, like:

I’m sharing these details of how fragile I am to help you understand why it is dangerous and terrifying for me to be carried down and up these stairs every time I leave my house. Chances of me surviving a fall down these stairs are slim.

Fortunately, there is a solution to this problem....

A Bruno Residential Platform Lift. Here is a video to show you what it looks like.

I have used these lifts before and in my experience they are incredibly user-friendly, low-maintenance and safe. I contacted a reputable vendor nearby called Essential Mobility and they will install one for me as soon as I reach my fundraising goal.

I feel really weird asking you to donate to this campaign because as a Healthcare Advocate, I interact with people all the time that are struggling with far more serious issues than this. Also, as a Healthcare Advocate, I know I need to find a solution before it becomes a more serious issue.

Like, share, donate, cross your fingers and toes...anything you can do to help will be deeply appreciated. Thank you!
