Hi my name is Llaria.

im 41 years old. Disabled and a wheelchair user.

I spend all day everyday sat in my room in my bed because my sofa is to low for me to sit comfortably and safely. I’m unable to get off it on my own which results in falls. I live on my own so this risk is higher.

OT tried to raised the legs but due to the style this wasn’t possible.

I’ve recently tried to get help with funding for a recliner with assisted standing but failed and wasn’t approved.

At times it feels like being disabled we are labeled and can’t get the help and support we need. There just ain’t enough support.

I’m very reluctantly reaching out to get help for a recliner chair so I can sit in my living room instead of on my bed 24/7.

Any help towards this would be greatly appreciated no matter how small.

This is the very last thing I wanted to do. And took a lot for me to admit I needed help.

thank you for reading
