Hello Friends-
My name is Michael. I am a 70 year old quadriplegic in a power wheelchair. My existing wheelchair is in dire need of replacement. It has serious mechanical and computer issues. As it essentially functions as my legs to move around in it needs to be dependable and safe. It is neither.
So utilizing my Medicare I began the many layered system to acquire its replacement. My insurance plan required Dr appointments and evaluation, occupational therapy evaluation, and a home evaluation. These have all been completed and approved. That brings me to the reason I’m here.
I’m looking for help with the $3748.00 copay to start production of my new chair. I live in an 50 year old mobile home with my nephew who functions as my caregiver. Utilizing a power lift he gets me up and ready every day. I spend 12-16 hours a day in my chair so comfort, reliability and safety are crucial.
We are living solely on my only income from Social Security. So making it just month to month can be challenging and it takes every penny to pay rent, electricity, Dr visits, food and utilities. I worked 38 years trying to be a productive person and would really like to finish out my years in safety and as much comfort as I have left in this well used old body of mine
