A Zebra's Journey To Independence

So today I have made a page on Facebook called 'A Zebra's Journey To Independence'. The reason behind this is because I have been using a self propelled wheelchair for just under a year now and my health has started to deteriorate rapidly just recently with increasing pain in both of my knees, frequent dislocations and a lot of falls. 

This has resulted in me loosing a lot of my mobility and independence. I started to get really down and depressed as I am only just 24 and unable to get out and about. 

The wheelchair that I currently use is lightweigh but unfortunately it is still to big and heavy for me to use causing my shoulders/ wrists and thumbs to dislocate and I am no longer able to self propell. 

Wheelchair services are very helpful but they are unable to supply the kind of wheelchair I need which needs to be a super lightweight carbon/titanium wheelchair. The price range is around £3000 upwards. I will need to raise the money to be able to gain back my independence. 

I know this is not going to be easy as there is not a lot of fund raising events I can do due to not being able to get out and about but I will do everything I can. 

I have learnt myself to crochet and have made some owl phone cases which I would like to try and sell to put towards the funds. 

If anyone has any fund raising ideas that I will be able to do then please let me know.

I understand that there are a lot of people in my position that do not have a great deal of money but if anyone would like to make a donation then you can contact me via my blog or my Facebook page: www.facebook.com/rebeccaeds3 

Thankyou for taking the time to read xx
