Tiffany's Power Wheelchair Fund
Donation protected
Hi! My name is Betina. My friend Tiffany is 35 years old and three feet tall. She has a condition called Osteogenesis Imperfecta type 3, or brittle bone disease.
Because of OI, Tiffany can't walk and her bones break very easily. She was born with broken bones, and has broken bones over 200 times since then. She has had surgeries to put rods in both of her legs and a spinal fusion. She has never let OI slow her down, though! She is one of the most outgoing people I've ever known, and she has always done anything she can to help a friend in need. She is a single mom to Jasmyn, who is 8-years-old and just as spirited as her mother! Jasmyn has learned to help Tiffany with everyday tasks that most of us take for granted. Tiffany has always found a way to do anything, but it warms my heart to see Jas help with things like getting Tiffany's wheelchair into their van.
Now for the part where I ask for help! Tiffany has a manual wheelchair, which works best for going out in public, as it's easy to get in their van that does not have a wheelchair lift. However, power wheelchairs are really best for her because they help her to reach higher surfaces like countertops, the sink, the stove, and the washing machine. When Tiffany breaks an arm, finger, or dislocates a shoulder, she can't push herself in her manual wheelchair. A power chair is vital to her day-to-day life. Unfortunately, hers has broken and she has exhausted all avenues of getting a new one through insurance.
I'm asking for your help to fund a new power wheelchair for her. Here is a link for one that would work great: http://www.sunrisemedical.com/power-wheelchairs/quickie/rear-wheel-drive/s-6-series
It's $6,040! If you can help in any way, even if it's just a dollar or two, it would be so very appreciated. Also, please share this page!
Let's help Tiffany get the wheelchair she needs!
