Emergency fund raising for a life saving wheelchair
Donation protected
Hello
My name is Mauritz Pagelz. I am almost 28 years old and come from Sweden.
I have Spinal Muscular Atrophy and am forced to use an electric wheelchair for any kind of mobility
To make a long story short; I have lost my assistance after having been lied to by the Social Insurance Agency (they pay my assistants, accessibility aids, etc)
For health reasons, I have spent the winter in Spain, where it is warm and sunny. Every year I was informed that you could be away within the EU for 12 months (I was in Spain for 7 months and in Sweden for 5 months per year)
But now after 4 years, the Social Insurance Agency is demanding money back, SEK 11 million (~€960´000 $995´000)
They also demand back SEK 85,519 (~€7´500 $7´700) in extra cost supplements (medicines)
As well as SEK 463,712 (~€40´000 $42´000) in activity compensation
Unfortunately, there is not much we can do about it as I have no income and will not be able to have any income, so unfortunately I will end up at the Swedish Enforcement Authority (a debt collection agency). I also have no family that can help me financially as they've lost their jobs and my sole parent is recently disabled due to a car crash.
Now Sweden also demands my wheelchair back (you borrow wheelchairs for free in Sweden) and without it I cannot survive.
Therefore, I am now desperately appealing for help in being able to finance a wheelchair so that I can live without being forcibly bedridden 24/7.
A new Permobil wheelchair costs about €20,000 plus shipping of about €1,000
It's quite a long delivery time so I'm in a hurry as my old one is due back on February 19.
I am fully aware that it can take time to get this much money together but it will have to take the time it takes.
I hope you can help me live. Every donation is of great importance, small or big, as it will help me towards my goal.
With love // Mauritz
