most of you know i have severe degenerative hip disease and use an electric wheelchair outdoors the chair is my lifeline i am in early recovery from an addiction To drugs and i use my chair to get to my narcotics anonymous meetings and my new voluntary job as a recovery coach helping addicts who are still struggling, my chair was second hand to begin with but has had it the brakes are broke keep needing fixing tge battery doesnt last always have to plan my route and stop and charge my chair just to get me from place to place, also the front wheels are losing their tread, i need a new wheelchair desperatley For my independence but more importantly for my recovery i’m worried i am going to be without a chair then god knows where i will be! I have said £1,000 to fund a new one not second hand as theres just problems with second hand products
