WGT Wheelchair Rental

Ive been looking at all my options to make it to WGT.

See I live in Leipzig. I moved here to be a regular part of this. It was one of the dreams for me because how much this music scene means to me.

So as some are aware Ive been dealing with mobility and health issues. I havnt been able to get what I need yet to get whats needed. Dealing with drs, insurance and beaurocracy and its complicated as a immigrant.

As it is I can barely afford a ticket. And well I am uncertain about what Im to ask. Because I know in the end of day its a privelege to attend any festival. This WGT was supposed to be my 10th. I went to my first 10 years ago in 2015

The only way I can attend is renting a electric wheelchair. That will cost 320€. I can link the site I found this option on but it is in German. Ive looked into all options to rent or buy things. The cheapest option that will allow me to attend independtly without relying on assistance from others is renting this and I can not afford it with the WGT ticket.

I have scoured local and regional disability resources and looked at marketplaces for second hand and other options.

I really am not good setting up go fund mes and campaigns. I also feel really awful asking for help. Especially financial. I know loads of people are struggling. I know this is pretty much considered a luxury. I just want to be able to go see bands and friendly faces. Ive spent 99% of the past year in my flat in my room. It would be devastating psychologically to be here in Leipzig and have to miss WGT right out my doorstep. Im struggling and so as much as this hurts my dignity and I feel gross to ask.

Perhapsthe Sadgoth community could help me. If I could get enough to cover a electric wheelchair rental so I can get myself around. I dont have anyone that can handle pushing me in my regular wheelchair and its really difficult to on the streets here. Its not the kind of lightweight chair for people who are permanently disabled. It was a cheap secondhand one for temporary use.

I really dont want to miss out. I can offer anyone who helps me some art and tote bags I made with rude cartoon animals I designed. I hate asking for help with nothing to give in return as I always been about earning things myself. But the past couple years have been really hard and I lack support.

I feel quite embarrassed about asking and please dont say theres always next year. We never know what will happen. I had hoped by now my health and mobility would have improved. But thats not the case and I dont know what will happen in future. Not to mention it can always be last or only chance to see certain bands perform.

If its ok to ask for help here I guess its my hope something can be sorted out and no one will judge me harshly for asking.
