Aim

I would like to raise enough to get a sort of decent custom wheelchair. My legs stop working randomly now so I can't put it off anymore.


I've struggled with pain and fatigue my entire life, I have hEDS, POTS, dysautonomia, joint pain and instability and chronic fatigue, and now maybe FND. 

I've known for a couple of years that a wheelchair would make my life more manageable, but I've been putting it off for too long.

I really miss being able to just go out of the house, walk the dog, spontaneously do things without having to factor in how bad I can cope with for the next few days. 

I now use a very heavy, hard to push wheelchair, and it improves my life, but I tire easily. I trialed an 'off the rack' wheelchair, but I have tiny arms and a phat ass so it just doesn't work. I can only go very short distances with that chair, and it takes so much out of me. I can't face the way the dog looks at me when I have to turn back after such a short walk. 

If really appreciate if you could spare any money you can afford, being able to get out of the house more without terrible fatigue and pain would improve my life significantly.
