I urgently need your assistance. My name is Robert Carver, i am disabled I have many debilitating conditions including, Fibromyalgia, a heart condition, Colitis and I am a paraplegic, with no use or feeling in either of my legs. I started suffering from a disease five years ago which is so rare that a formal accurate diagnosis but investigations are still ongoing, but is most likely to have been caused by a brain virus and is almost certainly TOTALLY IRREVERSIBLE.

For the past two years, I have been unable to walk or use my legs and I'm still in a second floor temporary accommodation flat, with a steep and narrow staircase which is clearly totally unsuitable for my needs. My social worker and many council professionals have witnessed this first hand that I have to lower myself using my arms and bouncing his bottom down said staircase falling quite often, It can take anything from an hour or more with assistance to pull myself up, step by step. How can that be fair, safe or reasonable?

My flat is tiny and cramped, none of the doorways are suitable for wheelchairs so I have to pull myself around on the floor, dragging my dead legs behind me,

My current NHS provided wheelchair is wholly inappropriate for my needs and just causes my body yet more damage.

I am hoping to raise enough money so I am able to purchase a wheelchair which is suited to my needs and will give me greater independence I recently appeared on local news in relation to my current living situation and deteriorating and debilitating conditions please see link below
