Iʼve raised £1,376 to help get the amount of money I need for the fitting of my automatic wheelchair clamp & some extra equipment to after my hand transplant
- Funded on Sunday, 20th November 2022
Don't have time to donate right now?
Story
I‘m asking for this money because I want my independence back, as i’m currently waiting for a double hand transplant & would love to do more volunteering & get a job again too.
Motability will provide a clamp in the driving position but not the passenger position, this means i have to have straps to secure me, having this in place just makes things a little easier!
I lost all 4 limbs due to a urine infection that developed into sepsis I work tirelessly raising awareness of sepis & really would love to do more for the Sepsis Trust, I also volunteer for another amputee charity too called Steel Bones & could do more if I could drive i’d also like to get a job too, i‘m still young enough to work & really would love to so please help if you can.
i‘ve received a call from Sirus who are supplying my vehicle they will supply my clamp I have to pay for the fitting, this is fantastic news but i need a little extra because there some equipment i need so I’ve adjusted my amount from £3,000 to £1,232 i’m so close I also need some other equipment for my assistance dog to travel with me once shes fully trained & for my hands after my transplant
Thank you x

2 years agoThis is the automatic wheelchair clamp I’m fundraising for it’s a Q’Straint QLK 150 personal wheelchair docking station. I was told they’re £3000 I’m almost at my first £1000 so thank you so very much, I have to get the money before my vehicle is in stock so I can order this to get fitted before it goes in for other adaptions! It will save my husband’s back from having to strap me in manually as he’s struggling with doing now, bless him. Hopefully seeing what this is will help you understand, I will have this bolted to the floor of the vehicle!
