Urgent- Need Help!!!
 

A family member of mine recently suffered a back injury that has them in a wheel chair for the next 6 months. His Job is Technical, so he is still going to work, but his mobility is limited. All he has is a manual wheelchair. We tried to get him a motorized one through his insurance, but by the time the paperwork is done he will not need it. If anyone has access to a Motorized wheelchair, or knows anyone who does. We are desperately looking for a donation of a motorized wheelchair or a loaner. We really can't afford to buy one right now, used ones are about $1200 and New ones are over 4k!! Since he works at a computer all day he is seeking something similar to the image below. Hit me up on ICQ 197190113 Cristina...

You can't afford $1,200??? WTF? Kill your hosting, fold up the card table, get your priorities in order, and stop asking for handouts. Put the guy on a roller skate and push his ass to work :2 cents: I'm not insensitive, just laughing :1orglaugh

kneepads, or skateboard

There is a charity that loans stuff like that.......trying to find the URL

Being in a wheelchair myself I can tell you right now that a lot of medical supply places will get you one while the paperwork is being processed, and or they rent them for short term applications.

i'm sorry but if you're looking here for handouts you're in the wrong place. MAYBE if you were a well known and trusted industry member it could happen.

Ask your health insurance agent about it. you might be able to get the hookup from them

No one is asking for hand outs if you read the post... Your comments are unwelcome at a time like this. And yes, your comment are insensative. Truly nothing to laugh at, I hope someday when something happens to a loved one of yours that people will show the just compassion they need.

Actually we are trusted and known, ask LENS or SPANNOW...

Wow! Lololol

Seriously try what I said. The vast majority of these companies know how to rush through the paper work and will get you a loaner in the meantime.

Unless of course the person really does not need an electric chair and would be perfectly fine in a manual chair.

Lastly there are places like golden umbrella and other united way type organizations that do assist in such issues. Though I would not tie them up if the person either has insurance as you say or is capable of working. I would just hit up a medical supply place and get a chair rented for the time being.

always a new one asking for handouts....
How can we NOT consider you a scammer?
You have been on this borard for a short time, and yeat you feel enough "at home" to ask us for money? .. and that without showing us any credible info but your ICQ?

... shame on you preying on good people

Thanks Much, I've been trying those places, and am on a waiting list right now.. Dr. Did say he is indeed in need of one, b/c of the meds he's on that a manual woudn't do him good.

But he has TECHNICAL job - he needs to find a new one if his services are that unimportant... how's the bling?

Umm, as I said, we're known, and I'm not that new... ALSO READ THE POST, NO ONE IS ASKING for $$$, I'm asking for a wheelchair. READ! We have a 5 year streak of an impeccable reputation, so GFY.

You'll have to pardon me for being a tad confused here.

Hint, it does not matter what a doctor says it is what he will write down on the prescription. Litterally have the doctor put it down in writting on one and be very specific.

Also, We're Shooters for Lensman, so you can ask him if we're scammers or not..

Tad confused 'bout what my friend?

I'm not trying to be a jerk about it. You did ask for a donation, which technically is a handout. Then you said you aren't asking for a handout. Well which is it? Whether you're asking for a wheelchair, money, or a shiny new car....it's still a handout. Unless you are paying this person back.

I would sugguest that you hit up good will and the salvation army, As well as check out ebay.

Then barter some pussy shots for a fucking wheelchair if you are tight... not a bad suggestion, eh? Or were you waiting for this post :1orglaugh

Well if they want to donate it to get rid of it out of their garage or something, great. if they want it returned I'd do that too... If they donated it, and wanted some content in return, I'd do that as well, but I'm not asking anyone to go out of their way and give something away they want or need. So, I consider it more a favor than a handout... I'm not asking for $$...

I'd be more than willing to barter some content...
