Hello, my name is Ricardo, and I am fundraising to help David Brown restore his Genie V2 standing wheelchair.

David lives with advanced Multiple Sclerosis and is paralysed from the neck down, with very limited movement in his left arm. His wheelchair is much more than a mobility aid. It is essential to his daily comfort, positioning, dignity and quality of life.

After approximately 16 years of use, David’s wheelchair urgently needs a complete up refurbishment. When medically appropriate, supported standing may help with circulation, muscle stretching, pressure relief and other aspects of his wellbeing. It also allows him to experience the world around him from a different position and interact with people more naturally.

EasyRise has provided an official quotation of £10,500 to refurbish David’s existing wheelchair. A brand-new Genie V2 would cost £18,570, making refurbishment the more affordable option.

I want to help David, but I cannot cover the full cost alone. That is why I am asking for your kindness and support.

Every donation, no matter how small, will bring us closer to restoring this essential wheelchair and helping David maintain his comfort, dignity and quality of life. ❤️

If you cannot donate, please consider sharing this fundraiser with your friends, family and colleagues. Every share could help us reach someone who can make a difference.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading David’s story and helping us give him the support he deserves. ❤️
