Help Michael Get His Wheelchair

Hi everyone

I’m setting this go fund me up for my uncle who unfortunately is unable to walk nor get out of bed anymore. The wheelchair that he requires is a specialised wheelchair that needs to be fit to his body, unfortunately this is going to cost a lot and our family is just unable to raise the costs as we are paying for his other medical treatments and bills.

For the last 15 months my uncle has been bed ridden due to being neglected by mental health professionals and health care professionals. My uncle was found on his apartment floor three days after falling and being unable to get up. We were told he was a day away from passing when he was found. Thanks to his neighbour, he was brought to hospital. We were told he only had a few days left to live, fortunately this was not the case. Due to him suffering from mental health problems and extensive medical conditions the hospital didn’t seem to value him or his life. He was basically left in the hospital bed to die.Thankfully he survived and is now in a nursing home but is unfortunately unable to get out of bed and walk nor is unable to shower and care for himself as his arm is deformed due to an injury he had a few years ago.

Anything you are willing to donate will be much greatly appreciated and will not go unnoticed, thank you so much for taking the time out of you’re day to help and listen to my uncles story I really appreciate it so much.

UPDATE 

Hi all, 

 I would just like to thank you all for the lovely donations for micheal toward funding for his wheelchair. Micheal and our family are overwhelmed with how much support we have received. While we were waiting on OT supports for michael to be assessed the HSE has since stepped into take over michael's care. This meant that the HSE has since provided micheal with his well needed wheelchair. So with this been said we still have all the lovely donations we received in the go fund me account for michael that we do not need to fund. So what we would like to do is that Michael's family will be donating their money to michael future care needs. But that still leaves money everyone else has donated. So to all the lovely people who donated and supported michael we would like to refund you all if you could contact and let us know the best way to set up any refunds to you. So we can close down the go fund me page, Again thank you so so much. Michael is so happy and grateful to finally be able to get out of bed.
