Help a chronically ill solo Mama buy a bike
Help a chronically ill solo Mama buy a bike after hers was stolen.
Nationwide
I have chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, and long covid. I'm now unable to work due to my health, although I'm hoping to be well enough to explore volunteering in 2025.
I can't walk very far these days but was hoping the bike would be a gentle way to spend time with my kiddo. He's struggled with my illness and my being able to do much with him (we used to enjoy beach and bush walks), but he loves riding so I thought a bike would be a good solution.
Unfortunately my bike was stolen before we got the chance and I'm devastated. It's been such a hard year, mentally and physically, and this didn't help.
Use of funds
A second hand woman's bike so I can take my son on gentle rides by the river and get out of the house more.
Being home all the time due to my health is very difficult mentally but my finances are too tight to buy a bike myself.
