Would you please help me buy a mobility scooter?

I'd love to be able to go places with family & be more autonomous; less if a burden. I'd love to be able to go places and do things with all my nieces & nephews. I want to be with them & my family & experience all I can with them. I don't know how much time I have left because I have a lot against me. I want to be more autonomous. I have multiple serious medical issues, despite my relative young age. Unfortunately they aren't the kind which improve. My spine has more issues than I can remember. I have grade III diastolic failure, 3 leaky valves, & thickened muscle in my heart. I have hepatic encephalopathy from cirrhosis, due to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. The nerve damage in my hands is moderate-severe. My arthritis is awful, but pales in comparison to the trigeminal neuralgia which is incapacitating. I just found out my vision in one eye quickly deteriorated resulting from heart issues & I have macular degeneration. Heart, liver, back, neck, head, eyes, & hands- they're all wrecked. #HeartFailure #HeartAttackSurvivor #StrokeSurvivor #DiastolicDysfunction #CAD #Cirrhosis #HepaticEncephalopathy #NASH #NonAlcoholicFattyLiverDisease #TrigeminalNeuralgia #CarpelTunnel #TransientIschemicAttacks #TIA #NerveDamage #Retrolisthesis #ChronicPain #CPP #Accessibility I'm only 49. Several years ago I was strong, athletic & felt like I was on top of the world. They all went away so quickly, & then it was just one thing after another. I'm a shell of my former self. I've found a scooter that accommodates well my issues & a matching car lift. If I owned them, I could be more independent; I could go places & do more things with family & friends- than this weak body will allow. I've never before asked for help. A close friend told me to have faith, and reach out to the goodness of others. This is a big step for me. I'm very guarded-- and frankly ashamed of the state I'm in nowadays. I've had strangers make fun & it's absolutely demoralizing. Thank you for your compassion. Thank you for your time reading. If you can help financially I'm very grateful. May your days be filled with happiness and satisfaction. Thank you so much reading, sharing, & financial support.
