Spina Bifida-Mobility Needed for School
Donation protected
I have a birth defect (spina bifida) that didn't show up until I was 37, when balance and exhaustion from nerve damage began crumbling my world. I shifted my reality from successful pastry chef and baking teacher to full time student, and now, 6 years later, I am a sculptor and writer applying for grad school in London to become an art teacher. I walk with a cane and use to have an electric scooter to get around town but it died. Since then my choices are more limited and I really need to replace it to live my life fully.
I have always wanted to travel and last year I got connected to my sister that I never knew who lives in England. I look at the changes and challenges in my life as opportunities to experience new things at a slightly slower pace, one which I can truly witness the beauty in the world. This travelscoot is perfect for going on planes and to take me around to see all the lovely art in Europe. It is light, I can lift it over several stairs, and strong.
I live on disability and student loans, so it is daunting to think about raising the money for a mobility device myself. I could really use the support, and I promise that I will pay it forward.
