Here are a few words about this fundraiser:
“Hello wonderful people,
Robin and willow here to see whether you could help Robin pay for a UT Calf Support Kit for their new wheelchair! The new wheelchair is so fantastic and after having a follow up with the specialist a number of add-ons have been purchased already that have made it even better…BUT the calf supports are important for comfort and they’re expensive!!
What does that mean you ask? Well…
“Calf supports are angle and height adjustable pads that attach to the legrests. These padded calf supports are necessary to support the lower legs when the leg is elevated, or to keep feet from falling behind the footplates when in the neutral seated position. Calf supports are especially important when using a tilt-in-space power seating system and/or power articulating elevating legrests. The padding provides an additional surface to distribute pressure, and has a mild contour to accommodate the lower leg.”
These cost £300, so we’ve set the goal to £320 to cover the cost of the fees on here! Little side note to say how ridiculous it is that these are £300, but frustratingly this is how wheelchair parts be. They have no competitors because they are the only people who make them to fit their wheelchairs/sigh.
If you could help it’d be so so appreciated!! Big thanks from us and Ted, who is also loving the wheelchair x
(Small note: the page is under the care and management of my close friend and fellow community member, Willow.)”
