Please help re-gain independence and mobility

Donation protected
My name is Molly, I have cerebral palsy and I am reaching out for help to regain my life, freedom and independence in October of last year I moved into my own specially adapted council house after living at university. It took months of fighting but I’ve done it. Now the wheelchair I have is broken, it’s no longer practical for me anyway anymore and when I have looked at repair short term the parts are ridiculously expensive due to the chair now being discontinued when I was told it was brand new two years ago. I know the exact chair I need however due to the financial crisis paying it off with the wheelchair shop is incredibly tough due to also being in debt after university.

I’ve fought to be independent for years physically and I’ve had several surgeries since 2009 in Oswestry, Gabowen for specialist treatment after the authorities believed I should just stick to wheelchair full time as i’d end up that way anyway. I've fought against this for my independence however because I made that choice it now goes against me in later life as I'm sewn as ‘Not disabled enough’ 

The funds will not only go to the chair but to specialist ongoing physiotherapy healthcare that I can't get through the NHS on an ongoing basis. I want to be as mobile as possible for as long as possible.

The physiotherapy will help decrease pain and aid mobility, giving me a better quality of life. 

All my love,

Molly




Any funds will be grateful and appreciated at a time when people are struggling so much
