Jen has MS and is looking to purchase a wheelchair/firefly mobility attachment to gain independence.
Nelson / Tasman
Jen has been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) for 14 years.
We are looking to fundraise to purchase a Wheelchair, Rio Mobility Firefly attachment, roof rack and complete some mods to the house for wheelchair friendliness.
Details of the Rio Mobility Firefly are here: http://riomobility.com/en/powerhandcycle/firefly-features.html
Jen is a wonderful mother to two lovely children aged 12 and 10, her walking has deteriorated lately leaving her unable to get out with her kids as much as she would like to.
She's been using nordic walking poles to assist with walking for the last 5 years, while these are great she's still left fatigued from walking and lately has been struggling to walk even with the poles.
We're looking to get a quality of life to Jen so she can join the family on activities outside of the house and give her independence to be able to get to the Dr's and to local shops, as she has been unable to drive for 8 years due to her condition.
We thank you in advance for your generous donation to this cause.
I'm Ian, Jen's husband of 15 years, I've watched Jen suffer with MS symptoms for the last 14 years, it's been incredibly difficult, but she's an amazingly strong woman who I adore and admire.
I just want Jen to be able to join me and the kids outside of the house without getting too fatigued.
