Mobility Chair for My Dad
I'm raising funds to purchase an affordable and light weight motorized wheelchair for my dad so he can join me on outdoor 'walks' and be more independent. He is a big guy and pushing him around in his standard wheel chair on uneven terrain and then lugging it around is incredible challenging and not to mention doesn't give him much independence.
My dad suffered a massive stroke in 2016 which left him paralyzed on his right side - he only has use of his left side and he can not speak. He has been living in long term care for 4 years and recently contracted COVID-19. He is now recovered and is in complete isolation in his home and with too many unknowns I have decided to bring him home to live with me.
It's just my dad and I and I have been trying to save to get him a more lightweight and affordable motorized wheelchair. These funds raised would go directly to a Travel Buggy Electric Portable Wheelchair which is $3899.00+ tax plus a leg extension as he is so tall and the standard size will not fit.
I have a large backyard and am close to parks where it would be nice to take him and walk the dog. He also enjoys going to the local pub for a beer! He still has so much quality of life left and I would love to be able to help him feel more independent not to mention make it easier on me to do more fun things with.
I know its hard times and appreciate any support. Thank you for considering helping.
