Electric Wheelchair for Stephanie..cancer survivor

Im Stephanie's best friend Laura and I've set up this GoFundMe because she has been through more than anyone I know... and she is in need of an electric wheelchair to enable her to get out with her kids, family and to gain some independence and confidence. This her story ...I've taken extracts from her blog and Facebook page.. I was diagnosed with tongue cancer I was 30 . This is a particularly cruel cancer, it took so much from me, the treatment was horrific, I had half my tongue removed and a skin flap from my arm used to cover the wound, then skin grafts on the donor site. Then I had 35 sessions of radiotherapy, and it was a mad mad journey with highs and lows … the lows were very low. I had severe burns externally and internally. So much about me and my life and have changed forever I look different, my speech is effected (I speak with a slur, in a very deep husky voice, not good for phone calls). I have CRPS (complex regional pain syndrome) in my arm where they took the flap, my jaw dislocates regularly, I have neck pan and stiffness and I have a PEG feeding tube. This is all along side my other longstanding medical issues - BUT I always try and see the silver lining and to have a giggle.  I also have mobility issues caused by Ehlers Danlos Syndrome and the issues that come with it. I use crutches to get around but this is becoming increasingly difficult on my shoulders but I dont want to stop doing things and going out especially with the kids...Daisy is 8 and Kieran is 14 NOVEMBER 2019  I GOT VERY SICK, WITH SEPSIS. ...  Thinking you might die, like theres a real possibility is life changing I've decided to try and get an electric wheelchair (the scooter is hard to use on my arms and isnt designed to fit in cars) and to use it....I mean get out more ...no more excuses of too far for me to walk or bad pain day... I want to *walk* my girl to school so she can ride her scooter or bike which she asks for all the time.. not sure how we will manage it but I know we will some how, the NHS wont fund as I can walk with crutches which is fair enough. I'm looking around for ex display and reconditioned ones which halves the price..... from £5000 down to just over £2500... I know it's a lot but if your in a position to help I would forever grateful and hold you in my heart forever.    Any who I hope everyone had a great Christmas and a very happy and healthy new year to you and your loved ones.    Feel free to pm me any time I love your messages and helping if I'm able, alternatively I'm pretty good at signposting)    Still smiling xxx
