My Wife Needs A New Power Wheelchair
Donation protected
As you may already know, my wife has a hereditary neuromuscular disease. It's known as HSAN Type 1 (Hereditary Sensory Neuropathy Type 1).
As a result of the effects of this disease, she has relied upon using a wheelchair, for the past 16 years.
8 plus years ago, she was able to purchase a power chair that definitely increased her mobility & also her abilitiy to do some things around the house.
Over these past 8 years, much has happened, including the need to replace that chairs electrical computerized controls on 2 occasions, as well as replacing other electronic switches.
The actual life expectancy of a power wheelchair is 5 years & we've been fortunate to extend that life to 8 years.
But, now it's time to purchase a new chair.
She's been through the medical processes & has finally received the approval from her insurance company.
Now, here's where this Go Fund Me page comes in.
The insurance company will not pay the entire amount to purchase a new chair.
We are still in need of $3124.
In order to expedite the ordering process, we've placed that amount on a credit card, so her new chair has already been ordered & we expect that it will be delivered in about 2 weeks.
If you'd like to help us, by contributing toward our financial goal, we would greatly appreciate your assistance.
No amount given is too great or too small & I thank you in advance for your generosity.
