My name is Carl West. I suffer from Ankylosing spondylitis & stiff man's syndrome. It has left me paralyzed, and I've spent most of my 30's in a hospital bed. I lost my house and all my earthly possessions.

I want to escape the nursing home and get back to my life. They take all my money & keep me in the bed. The only thing that stops me is my immobility. I need a customized wheelchair so I can live my life to the fullest.
