Freedom on All Terrains: New Rollator Needed
Donation protected
Hello!
I have been using a rollator off and on for a long time now, but I have been consistently using my rollator for most outings for 2 years. It has brought back so much of my freedom and independence, and I rely heavily on it for shopping trips.
It is a standard Medline rollator, however, and is not built to handle most terrains, including Seattle sidewalks and most parking lots. The damage to the wheels has affected the stability of the frame, and the capability of the wheels limits the places I can go.
This past weekend, I attempted to go to a swap meet, but it was hosted at a venue that was all grass or gravel, and my rollator literally could not move through either, leaving me only able to make it to two booths before we had to leave.
I am hopeful to raise enough funds to cover the cost of an all-terrain rollator, to allow me freedom to attend whatever events I'd like to this summer! My dream is to attend Ren Fair, but this is absolutely impossible with my current mobility aids, and testimony from staff and attendees. I'd also love to go to parks and pride events this year without having to fight and half-carry my rollator through uneven grounds.
This rollator is the best budget model I've found, and I feel confident in my choice to go with it. Any contribution helps a ton! And if you have me on Facebook, you can message for Amazon or other options.
