RAISING FUNDS FOR VERY FIRST WHEELCHAIR ❤


Hi my name is Rachel and I'm 40 years old I am a single mum of one 16 yr old son with Autism and sensory disorders and I am trying to purchase my very first manual wheelchair to help  due to my health conditions theses  are only going to decrease over time and a wheelchair will stop me putting so much pressure on my already replaced knee joints, I have  Lipoedema ( is a bilateral and usually symmetrical limb swelling mainly affecting the legs and thighs and can be arms and occurs as a result of abnormal accumulation of fat cells within the tissues under the skin ) so my legs are larger than should be and very painful and tender, I also  have Fibromyalgia, Regional Pain Syndrome, Sleep Apnea, Restless Leg Syndrome,  Osteoarthritis (2 partial knee replacements) , Drop Foot so I wear knee leg splint and Lower Back Condition and there is few other things which limits me to earning my own money to purchase this much needed essential item.

I am being very positive about my health changing and always wake up to a new day, the  type of wheelchair enclosed below would give me options to get out and live a normal life for me and my son or I can on a bad day have the chair to use in my home, make days out with my son so much easier, I am unable to have anyone to push me so a lightweight chair is my best option and wouldn't put additional stress on my body trying to push my own weight due to an array of conditions and standard wheelchairs. 

i am unable to purchase such an essential piece of Equipment unfortunately myself and this is why I'm asking for help.......

Thankyou for taking the time to read my crowdfunder.

Oh I'm  bald as I loose my hair all the time to Alopecia so I done a charity fundraiser and shaved so out of a personal battle I made it into a positive x
