Wheels For Rigo
Donation protected
Hi my name is Rigo, Anthem Blue Cross has denied me an electric wheelchair several times. I have Cerebral Palsy, I'm a quadriplegic, and cannot walk at all. I have injured both shoulders and cannot use a manual chair. My current electric wheelchair was donated to me over ten years ago and has become a safety hazard. My chair is malfunctioning and is extremely dangerous, it spins and changes direction with no warning. A few times my chair has sent me towards traffic and has jerked enough to cause me to tip over off the bus ramp. I have exhausted all insurance avenues and am hoping through fundraising to be able to purchase a newer wheelchair.
With a a new chair I will gain more freedom and be a lot safer. With my current chair l limit my outings to only the necessities.
Thank you for your support,
Rigo Gaona
