Help Amari Get a Wheelchair and Accessible Van

Donation protected
I'm fundraising for an electric mobility aid and a wheelchair accessible minivan. I have fibromyalgia, anemia, and CPTSD and I'm exploring diagnoses for peripheral neuropathy, postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome and chronic fatigue syndrome. More specifically, I often struggle to stay standing for extended periods of time and lately walking short distances causes flares ups for my dizziness, nausea and muscle weakness. My symptoms have reached the point where I would really benefit from an electric mobility aid. I know that with a power wheelchair I could spend more time gardening, going for walks and spending time outside with my pets.  Without official diagnoses I cannot access provincial supports or funding for people with disabilities. I am on social benefits and I'm not reliably able to work so I won't be able to take these expenses out of pocket any time soon. I'm reaching out to community for aid. While I wait to qualify for support, my symptoms are still becoming more disabling.  Because I can be most active while sitting, I'm hoping to raise funds for a power wheelchair as soon as possible. For many reasons, I am the main driver for my family so I also need to replace my car with an accessible minivan. How your money helps:     Buying a wheelchair driver accessible van for the wheelchair users in my family     Buying a power wheelchair for my own independence and increased mobility The goal of this fundraiser is to help me get moving comfortably + improve my quality of life by accessing support through community aid. I am grateful to all those who share and donate as I will need all the help I can get!
