Help Mr. Jett Buy a New Electric Wheelchair – Washington Heights


We are neighbors of James Jett, whose electric wheelchair was stolen from in front of a Washington Heights pharmacy. (<a href="https://newyork.cbslocal.com/2021/07/02/stolen-electric-wheelchair-washington-heights-pharmacy/)" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><a href="https://newyork.cbslocal.com/2021/07/02/stolen-electric-wheelchair-washington-heights-pharmacy/" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://newyork.cbslocal.com/2021/07/02/stolen-electric-wheelchair-washington-heights-pharmacy/</a>)</a> We had the opportunity to meet him and hear his entire story and learn what he needs. Mr. Jett saved up for a year for the wheelchair, which he had only had for a few weeks before it was stolen. The wheelchair allows him to travel up and down the local hills and to go further than two blocks from his home. Without the wheelchair he has to use a walker and struggles to navigate the streets. He still owes $800 on it, a debt he is unable to discharge. We have set up this fundraiser to collect $3000 to replace Mr. Jett’s wheelchair, to cover his debt, and to purchase insurance for the new wheelchair. Please donate whatever you can afford. The money will be given to Mr. Jett directly. Thank you neighbors and the Washington Heights community!


 


Estamos vecinos de James Jett, cuya silla de rueas eléctrica fue robada frente a una farmacia de Washington Heights (<a href="https://newyork.cbslocal.com/2021/07/02/stolen-electric-wheelchair-washington-heights-pharmacy/)." target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><a href="https://newyork.cbslocal.com/2021/07/02/stolen-electric-wheelchair-washington-heights-pharmacy/" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://newyork.cbslocal.com/2021/07/02/stolen-electric-wheelchair-washington-heights-pharmacy/</a>).</a> Tuvimos la oportunidad de conocerlo, escuchar su historia y aprender lo que necesita. Sr. Jett ahorró durante un año para poder comprar la silla, que solo había tenido durante unas semanas antes de que fuera robada. La silla le permite subir y bajar los cerros locales y recorrer más de dos cuadras de su casa. Sin ella, tiene que utilizar un andador y lucha moverse por las calles. Todavía debe $800 por la silla de ruedas eléctrica que fue robada, una deuda que no puede saldar. Hemos organizado esta recaudación de fondos para recolectar $3000 para reemplazar su silla de ruedas eléctrica, cubrir su deuda, y comprar un seguro. Favor de donar lo que pueda pagar. El dinero se le entregará directamente al Sr. Jett. ¡Gracias vecinos y la comunidad de Washington Heights!
