Hi I’m Liz, I’m in desperate need of a folding powerchair. I feel trapped by the one I have now as it doesn’t suit my needs any longer. I have been diagnosed with quite a few physical conditions, the main one is Ehlers Danlos Syndrome which is a very painful condition that affects the connective tissue within the body. It make me prone to painful dislocations and partial dislocations of the joints. Secondary to that I have erythromelalgia and fibromyalgia aswell as arthritis and asthma.
I was diagnosed in 2005 and my health has gone dramatically downhill ever since.
Over the years I became reliant on a wheelchair, I started with a manual one but now it’s far too difficult to use that now. I have a powerchair now but it is extremely heavy and no longer suits my needs.
I have tried to get one on the NHS but the only supply the very basic of chairs which is not any good.
I have found the perfect chair which is sold by Careco but sadly it’s £3000 and the don’t do finance so this is my only option.
I thought long and hard about setting this up but decided to swallow my pride and my need outweighs my pride. I am extremely embarrassed that I have to do it.
I desperately need to downsize my car as I can no longer afford the one I have which is impossible with the large heavy unfolding powerchair I have now. Any help would be fantastic. If you are unable to donate but can share the campaign I would be very grateful for that aswell. It will all help.
Thank you
