Help ghost get his independence back

Hi, Im ghost

Ive just turned 18, i live in the uk.

Since the age of 7 ive been dealing with physical disabilities, I have been in and out of treatment yet nothing has seemed effective so far and my condition has now worsened to the point where i cannot go outside unless its for medical appointments due to extreme pain, weakness and fatigue. I cannot cook , clean or do most of my hobbies nowadays due to it, it is incredibly isolating.

Ive had to drop out of college, stop visiting my partner and stop doing even basic things like grocery shopping due to this.

I really want to get a job, I want to have my independence and start living my life on my own, without relying on other people. I used to be an incredibly active person, with one of my favourite hobbies being spending time in my local nature reserve, i miss that more than anything. These wheels when paired with another piece of equipment would mean i would be able to do that again

This go fund me is to help me raise funding towards getting a set of power assist wheels, and help negate the costs of a chair that fits my needs, I as of current have no significant form of income and it would be completely unobtainable without the help of others. My current budget is roughly 8.6k, this gofundme will hopefully cover the power wheels in full.

I have had a chance to demo this equipment and cried due to how freeing it felt, i am so excited at the concept of being able to live life like everyone else, but so terrified at the cost of it all. I wish i was able to get help with my local WCB, but due to my housing situation i do not qualify. My family have helped where they can, but none of us are particularly well off. I want to be able to make them proud by getting a job and getting back out again.

I currently use a wheelchair given to me by NRS, but it is heavy and not made for self propelling, i have to rely exclusively on my partner or my mother and they are both disabled as well which means it isn't ideal for anyone. I experience weakness in my shoulders and hands meaning that due to how horrid most British sidewalks are, I'm unable to push myself safely or confidently with the current equipment.

Anything you can spare would be appreciated more than words could ever say, and would help me get a chance back at starting my life and feeling like a person again. If you cannot donate, simply sharing this to a friend or story would mean the world.

Thank you so much for reading this and for your time
