WaterWheels - Floating Beach Wheelchair - Kaitlyn
Donation protected



This is my 10 years old daughter Kaitlyn . She was unfortunate to be born with a Muscle wasting condition that affects the legs and arms, called Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy .
Over the years she has lost most of her ability to walk unaided, and now she requires her wheelchair and Kay-walker to move around( as per the pictures above).
Even though she has this condition , my daughter is the happiest girl in the world , very funny, cheeky and it is a joy to be with her.
She is my sunshine , my everything.
It has taken me a long time to take my pride away and come via this site, to request for your kind support , no matter how small it is.
But for Kaitlyn's happiness I will subject myself to almost anything .
Last year I struggled a lot to take Kaitlyn to the beach, but I wanted to provide her with the same experience as other kids her age , a day in the beach and go to the water and swim with her. I was only able to take her once as it was really hard to take the wheelchair in the sand and then to the water .
A trip to the beach is the hardest thing there is with a wheelchair as there is no accessible beaches for people with wheelchairs. ( i have not come across one yet) . Although there were some kind people that helped me to take her to the water (we were only able to go 2 times).
Even though she wanted to go more times to the beach, we both decided to do other trips like to the Zoo , museums, cinema and parks to compensate.
However recently after researching the internet I came across this website that provide tools for those that want to experience trips to the beach like the WaterWheels - Floating Beach Wheelchair, which will save me from struggling to the sand and to the sea and Kaitlyn can enjoy the experience like the others -www.accessrec.eu/en/
I therefore appeal to your kindness, if you can help me buy this WaterWheels - Floating Beach Wheelchair to provide Kaitlyn with plenty trips to the beach. As the holiday has started.
Thank you for your help.
