femmecrip: femmecrip: Help me get a new wheelchair so I can become a teacher! Hello, my name is Stevie (or Bee). I am currently in grad school to become a history teacher. I also work as a tutor with student-athletes on my university’s campus. I am starting my first semester of student teaching and I am very excited. As of August 21, I will be student teaching as early as September. I need a new chair by September to help me access my field schools and work. I have a genetic connective tissue disorder called Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. It causes “double-jointed” hypermobile joints, pain, fatigue, easy injury, and balance issues. I have recently started using a wheelchair to help and it has freed me to move and teach with less pain and less fatigue. However, my chair is cheap and bulky and heavy. I have to lift it in and out of my car, which is dangerous for me and can cause injury. It wasn’t made to be used daily as I currently am doing. I am asking for donations to help me cover the costs of a new, more streamline, and lighter chair. I’m asking for $550 to cover the cost of a used chair I have found that should fit my needs better. If you can donate please send money to my paypal: amy.s.94@gmail.com. Any donations help. You’re donations will go directly to helping me be more mobile and will allow me to teach and work with the many students in my life. I still need a little over 300$ and I start teaching at the end of this month. -- source link
