HELP GET A NEW POWER WHEELCHAIR

Who this will help
Hi, my name is Jo-Anne and I have Multiple Sclerosis. I need a new power wheelchair. My current one is around 22 years old. I was told around 6 years ago that it's too old and parts can't be ordered anymore. Different things are now breaking apart. I use my chair going to the washroom, going to meals, and also going out. I live in a Long Term Care Facility and am low-income. I can still transfer from my chair to the bed but I really need it for everything else. I know that soon, I won't be able to do this and will need to stay in it all the time. I can raise my legs and also tilt in it. I have a special back on it with "wings", this is for support of my core muscles, to help me sit straighter. I really need this help and so appreciate any support I may receive. This would help until I can't operate a power wheelchair, hopefully another 10-20 years. If I need something else before this, I would donate this one to another person or organization. Thank you for your help.
