Electric Wheelchair wanted for Cancer patient

Hi All

We would like to hire short-term/long-term or to buy an electric wheelchair.
Of course if you wanted to donate it to us, we would also pass it on as a donation :)

My wife's father has terminal lung cancer and we are looking for an electric wheelchair to help restore some of the independance he so deperately misses.

If you can help or know of someone who could help, we would really appreciate it.


Thanks for reading
BFF

    Have you tried your local Salvation Army or Red Cross? They are usually very helpful. Apart from that possibly you could put an advert in your local shop/paper asking if anyone has one for loan?
  • Thanks for the suggestions. He's in hospital at the moment so Red Cross can't help until he is no longer an in-patient.

    Am trying to contact Sallies this afternoon.

    Thanks for your help :)
