IMMEDIATE NEED for ELECTRIC WHEELCHAIR BATTERIES

Donation protected
We are reaching out to you on behalf of GARFIELD BUCKTON (66), a double-amputee elderly gentleman who relies on his wheelchair as his only mode of mobility & independence to attend events, appointments & remain engaged in his community.

During the cold months wheelchair batteries lose their charge much faster, so to ensure that Garfield can safely navigate through the winter, he urgently needs a pair of new batteries as his current ones are dieing. This will cost at least $1,000.00 which is far beyond his financial means. Garfield’s only income currently is Old Age Security & although ODSP previously covered this expense, sadly OAS does not.

Garfield spent a year & 1/2 in hospitals enduring ordeals that none of us should ever have to go through. However, his brave fighting spirit has returned him to living independently in subsidized housing. Despite all of his difficult circumstances he continues to inspire others with his upbeat outlook & attitude that reminds all of us that “I was complaining that I had no shoes, when I saw a man who had no feet”

Your generosity - whether financial or in the form of resources will make a significant impact on Garfield’s quality of life & mobility to meet the challenging conditions of the winter season which is upon us.

Please donate whatever you can or if you need more info contact me. Every bit of support makes a difference & is deeply appreciated by Garfield & those of us who care about his well-being.
Thanking you in advance for your support.
