Donate for Shawn's Essential Wheelchair

Dear Friends and Family,

I am reaching out in the hopes of receiving some assistance. I am in urgent need of a lightweight motorized wheelchair that I can easily load into and out of my truck. I’ve found one that weighs only 30 pounds and costs $599 plus tax. Although my doctor has prescribed a scooter, Medicare will only cover a power chair that weighs 320 pounds, which would require a lift that Medicare unfortunately does not cover.

Recently, my health has declined. I now require oxygen 24 hours a day, and Medicare is providing me with a portable oxygen concentrator. My heart has become weaker, and I am struggling with a constant irregular rhythm that makes breathing even more difficult.

I live on $1,100 a month from SSI, and though I have been working for DoorDash and Uber Eats to supplement my income, my worsening health makes it increasingly hard to continue. If you are able to contribute toward the wheelchair, I would be forever grateful. If you are unable to help financially, I would deeply appreciate it if you could share my request with others.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the love, kindness, and support you’ve given me over the years. I am truly grateful for each and every one of you.

With all my love and appreciation,

Shawn
