Details on what is needed:Imagine relying on your wheelchair for every moment of mobility. Getting out of bed, making meals, or getting to a doctor’s appointment, only to find yourself trapped at home because the battery has died. For many individuals living with disabilities, this is not just a possibility, it is a reality. Wheelchair batteries are not always covered by insurance, and they can be incredibly expensive, especially since most power wheelchairs require two batteries. Without functional batteries, people are essentially stranded. We have seen heartbreaking cases where individuals were stuck in their homes, unable to call for help because they could not reach a phone, only to be found days later during a welfare check. This is not just an issue of convenience; it is a matter of safety, independence, and dignity. Your support can make a life changing difference. By funding replacement batteries, you are not just providing power, you are giving someone their freedom, their ability to connect with the outside world, and their basic human right to mobility.

Your support is greatly appreciated!!
