Xtragr8ful needs a chair

I am in desperate need of a power wheelchair! 

I have to have my leg amputated and want to get the medical equiptment needs taken care of now.  I am immobile at present but my old wheelchair is not electric and is falling apart from age. I am unable to go anywhere or get out of house. 

I need a powerchair to keep up with my 7 and 8 year old grandsons, who I have adopted.  I cannot do anything with them currently and their youth is whisking by quickly.  I have missed so much already. 

I am on medicaid which does not pay for power chairs. If you could find someone possibly  donating a chair, I would be extremely grateful(xtragr8ful):) How can I thank you enough for being my angel when I really need one?  Words cannot express my appreciation for this gift of help that you bring at this time in my life. I thank you so much and may God bless you with health,and true happiness!

Xtragr8ful's question

Greetings everyone! I am new to this but I will try to tell you a bit about myself. I am a disabled, homebound, 53 year old mom/grandma to beautiful 7 and 8 year old boys. They are my grandson's, but I have adopted them to try to give them  a" better life".   I took them under wing at ages of 1 year and 1 week old, relatively. 

Up until now, I have been doing okay by them. I am in the process of getting settled into a rental in Georgia. I came from Michigan, which I now find had much more to offer the disabled or low income family. I moved to Georgia after I found I have to have a leg amputated. I need to be near someone who can take care and nuture my boys during my hospitalization and my recovery. 

However, since moving to Georgia, I have had to give up on many of the benefits I had in Michigan.  I have never experienced this type of poverty before!  Georgia is a state not inclined to help the poor or needy. I do not want to go on, talking about my woes, as most of you have heard so many crying out or have troubles of your own.  If you want to know more, please read my blog.  Thanks to all of you who have taken the time to read this profile page...please keep us in your prayers.                        

warmest regards~
