Help Shaun purchase a new wheelchair

Donation protected
Let me introduce you to someone truly special, Shaun Barker. Here is Shaun's story in his own words:

I am a young man with cerebral palsy, I am dependant  on my wheelchair, to live an independent life. 
I am a very sociable person, who enjoys spending time with people. I like to do as much as I can for myself, but do rely on my wheels to get me about.
I certainly do some miles in my chair, so you can imagine it's like having a car and when that gets old and starts to misbehave it's time to change. Well this is the same with my chair, and it's time to upgrade.
Unfortunately my chair is not like a car, and you can't part exchange. It has to be a completely new model to fit my needs, trust me a car would be cheaper! 

I've had quite a few power chairs throughout my life, which can be very costly. As the government have drastically reduced, or taken away benefits , disabled people are struggling to find it anywhere near possible to afford chairs to suit their needs.

Yes you could be thinking, why not get one sorted through your local authority right? 
Well, let me tell you... those are basic chairs for basic needs, alright if you're elderly and don't need it to do much! 
For me, I need something that will help keep my independence, A chair that raises up and down so I can reach a light switch. A chair that reclines, so I can sit myself up. A chair that can turn with minimal space! 

I'm not asking for someone to completely pay for my chair, however I would really appreciate it if you could make a small donation, every little helps.

Thank you, Shaun.
