Story
I am a 24-year-old living with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (EDS) and several other conditions that significantly impact my daily life. As a manual wheelchair user, I face constant challenges in mobility. My condition often leads to painful dislocations, particularly in my shoulders, making it increasingly difficult to navigate the world around me.
Recently, I received a quote for a specialized wheelchair that would greatly improve my quality of life and help me regain some independence. The cost is just over £5,000, an amount that feels insurmountable for me at this time. Without this chair, I find myself relying heavily on my roommate for assistance, which adds strain to both our lives.
I am reaching out with urgency and hope, asking for your support in raising the necessary funds to purchase this essential equipment. Your generosity can make a profound difference in my life and help me reclaim my independence.
Thank you so much x
