Electric mobility scooter needed

Donation protected

Dr. Patti Jo King, a respected Cherokee historian, educator, and journalist, suffered serious injuries in a car accident last year.  She sustained a broken neck, severe nerve damage to her arm, and an embolism in her leg.  Even after rehabilitation and surgery, she is unable to walk more than a few steps.

Her medical debt is overwhelming; her insurance has denied her request for a power chair.  Because of her pain, she can't use a manual wheelchair.

Without a power chair, Dr. King can't get to her office on her own - and once she's at her office, she can't go anywhere unless a student or colleague is around to assist her.  Without a power chair, she is virtually trapped.

Please help Dr. King restore her mobility as soon as possible!
