May I please have five dollars?
I am disabled, thanks to spinal nerve root injuries and leg muscle damage from Cushing's Disease. I need to use my donated wheelchair to get around, and since my mobile home is not accessible, I am forced to spend nearly all of my time at home bedridden. It is a depressing and unhealthy way to exist.
I would like to make my home more accessible, to repair my donated powerchair, and to purchase a used wheelchair-accessible van to get around town easily. However, I have very little income.
I was thinking about how hard it is to ask people to donate larger amounts of money. But almost everybody could spare a fiver, right? So that's what I am asking. Can I please have five bucks? I intend to use it to get functional mobility equipment, get my home's entrances made accessible, and get an accessible van. Any money that I receive beyond those basic urgent needs will go toward other accessibility expenses--renovating my bathtub with grab bars and a seat, getting my self-propelled wheelchair repaired and upgraded, and all the other expenses that go along with disability.
I will, of course, provide updates and photos as we hit each goal. I hope you will consider joining in. It's only five dollars to you, but it's the difference between being simply being alive and truly having a LIFE, to me.
Thanks so much in advance!
