Having a wheelchair emergency! PLEASE SHARE! gofund.me/c42584cef #disabled #disability #disabledcrowdfunding

I'm having serious wheelchair problems. My chair is 5 years old and, thankfully, due for replacement. Unfortunately it's trying to die on me before I can get said replacement.

I'm having motor issues, and if the motor goes out I'll be stuck wherever it decides to break down. As I have to drive my chair a mile each way to work each night in the cold , that leaves a LOT of potential bad spots to break down, some where I might not be seen or found for hours. I'm taking a huge risk every night I go to work, and really any time I go out.

So get the motor replaced, right? If I do, there's a good chance Medicare then rejects my replacement chair because it just replaced a motor on the current one. And yes, that has happened to me before.
So I'm in a really bad position. I'm hoping to raise $4k, enough to cover my costs of living for 2 months so I don't have to drive this chair into the ground working in what is my worst time of year for work, anyway. I really can't risk being completely immobile for the month+ it takes to get a new chair and have no better options.

I'm so sorry.

hoping for aid. been resting. I have an important date coming up that I need to prepare for, which involves filling out a written assessment and then, when the day comes, talking briefly on the phone...

this'll all take a lot out of me.
