Donation protected






Hi my name is Scott. I am the full time care taker of my Mom Mary Coghill. On September 14th while driving her electric wheel chair into the house there was an accident and her 400 pound chair rolled over with her in it. Needless to say her hip was fractured in multiple places . She has had prior issues with hip but didn't realize how bad it actually was until all the xray's and mri's came back. Aside from the multiple fractures she it was found she had no femoral head on her hip, which basically means it's only being held in place with muscles. Surgery could not be done because of the multiple other health problems and the odds were not in her favor to pull through surgery . After 3 months of therapy mom is no longer able to stand or walk and everything has to be done using a transfer board which is extremely difficult and very painful for her . She had a kidney removed 3 years ago do to a cancerous mass and is on dyalisis 3 days a weeks. It takes 2 people to get her in and out of the car for treatment whichbagain is very painful for her as we have to manipulate her legs to get her i to car. My only options are a nursing home or is to get a wheelchair van and I am not doing a nursing . Vans cost 39-60 thousand dollars . I have found a basic used van in a group on fb asking $6500. It's not pretty buy at this point all I care about is getting her to and from dyalisis. I am now asking for help with getting a van to help keep her alive through dyalis and help improve her quality of daily life as we are not able to get a loan for it at the moment. Please help give mom a better quality of life . Thank you for all your prayers.
