Disabled & In Need Of Mobility Scooter
Donation protected
Hi! My names is Vanessa, I'm setting this fundraiser up because I'm severely disabled and at a point where walking with a walking stick and walking aids are no longer helping me get to where I need to go. I struggle with Multiple Sclerosis which doesn't get any better sadly, but with age it slowly creeps up on getting worse and worse! I've also learned that I need a full hip replacement which became the final straw in realising I need a mobility scooter (& probably a stair lift) if I want to leave the house. Currently, even just walking up and down the stairs or just getting up to put the kettle on causes issues with my body and the pain I go through every day is getting unbearable. I miss going to the nature reserves near me, taking our dog out for walks and just being outside when I want to - not when my body allows me. I unfortunately can't see my father either without the use of a scooter, as he lives internationally and getting abroad is a huge struggle for me, again a scooter would help tremendously with this.
While I do work, it's very intermittently due to my illness and disabilities, and I only get so much from benefits that barely cover food so I have had to resort to GoFundMe so any help is greatly appreciated and will go directly to the purchase of a mobility scooter so I can be outside properly again!
The funds will ONLY go towards the Mobility Scooter, which for one that would be of benefit to me is around £800

Thank you <3
