My name is Joel and I am 29 years old . I am setting up this giving page because I would like help to buy a much needed mobility scooter.

i have a rare medical condition called leukodystrophy (ALD/AMN) which affects my brain. I was diognosed with this condition around 4 years and since then I have deteriorated rapidly. Because the condition is so rare and I have been diagnosed as an adult, my consultant is unable to pin down the exact reason to why this has developed.

i was recently a victim of fraudulent activity on my bank account in which my life savings were transferred and taken out. This money was set aside for a rainy day also to do some maintainence to my new adapted flat. Because this money has gone, it has left me VERY upset and depressed. Barclays bank have refused to compensate me and this has left me with no money.

My condition has now left me to rely on crutches and I am unable to go out much. I have to wait on my mother or friends to pick me up and take me shopping. This has caused me to loose a vast amount of weight so my dietician has put me on speacial protein food supplement drinks.

Please help me to buy a mobility scooter.
Many thanks
Joel xxx
