Grieving for loss of Mobility

$105 donated
Given by 4 generous donors in around 4 months

I am desperate for a Mobility scooter as I am unable to walk/stand unaided for more than a few seconds due to pain and I am very unsteady!

Auckland

Hi, my name is Linda I'm 58 years old I am on a journey that I never expected I would take!

My health has detriated in recent years and now I can only walk a few steps unaided and can only stand for less than a minute unaided!

In recent years I have have had a Gall Bladder operation, Prolapse repair, Hernia Op, and Total Knee Replacement plus have had 2 Anaphylatic Shocks which I was near death!

I have battled Cervical cancer and last January Melanoma!

I have Asthma, Type 2 Diabetes, Angina, Fibromyalgia, Ehler Danlos Syndrome, Osteoarthritis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, and Raynauds Syndrome! Last year it was revealed that I had fused discs and a split in my Spinal cord (both birth defects)

Due to these conditions I fall easily and I'm in severe pain 24/7 and suffer from Depression!

My partner (who helped me with shopping etc) sadly passed away in August!

At the moment I am using a walker but finding that I can barely get to the supermarket and mobility is rapidly going down hill!

A mobility scooter would make a big difference to my life and give me my independence back! Could you please donate it would get me out of my home and hopefully my Depression!

Thank you Linda

To buy a much needed mobility scooter!

I cannot afford to buy one I am on the Assisted Living Benefit and only just getting by!

I would be happy with a second hand one as long as it works!
