Hello! My name is Dawn and I am 26. This fund is to help me purchase an electric wheelchair so I can gain some mobility and independence for the first time in my life.

I have no family, friends or community to help me or help spread this page, so if you're reading this please share it!

I suffer with over 26 diagnosed conditions, most of which are genetic and have spent the first 16 out of my 26 years in and out of hospitals and clinics. Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome, Juvenile Arthritis, Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, to name just a few. I struggle to mobilise and therefore can only leave my house once a month to visit my doctor or hospital. I do not qualify for NHS wheelchair funding as I am not paralysed or an amputee, the NHS cannot currently help me as they do not help with outdoor only chairs. I have tried various charities, but with no luck. I am on a low income, so saving up for a chair would be virtually impossible, and could take years. This chair is the cheapest I could find that met my requirements. This would mean quite literally the world to me and I would be incredibly grateful if you could help, or share this with your friends.
