hi everyone!! my name is grainne but i go by grace! i’m from scotland in the uk and i have cerebral palsy, this year i’ve been offered a place at university!! but my university is built on a lot of hills and i would struggle to get to classes on my own. i really really value my independence so i am looking to buy an electric wheelchair attachment to help me get around – a SMARTDriveMX2!! it’s a wheel that attaches to the back of your wheelchair to give you more power going up hills.
i can’t stress how much this would improve my life, not only for university, but just in general as getting around on my own can be really difficult. if i was to get this it would be like a weight off my shoulders, i could go to university, i could go travelling, go shopping ect just normal things without having to worry about being tired or sore!! the freedom that abled bodied people get doesn’t seem so far away!
the only problem is that the SMARTDriveMX2 is £5750 and i start university in september!! i really hate to ask anyone for money but there’s no way i can afford this on my own – so if you can please please donate!!
my justgiving (my mum made this page so it’s in her name)
if you aren’t able to donate i totally understand – but please share this page and message far and wide!! thank you so so much!! xx
i’m sorry i’m always reblogging this but i’m really worried i won’t get the funding in time!! thank you to everyone who’s helped out so far ❤
i cant donate myself but if anyone else can please do!! xx
