@babbles89 we're so lucky to live in the uk, but we do gave a postcode lottery (your zip code equivalent) but as a general rule we can get wheelchair repairs quite quickly, and charities tend to step in if we really struggling. Do you have any charity involvement in the USA?, will neighbours help, does your equivalent of the MS society offer any help. Been through the no money situation last Christmas when I was totally without funds apart from my basic benefit when our famous government took all my disability money away when their assessor deemed me 'not disabled enough' to warrant my payments which I had had for 25 years at the highest level! Work that one out, had it all returned 6 was later (it turns out it was their mistake) but having no money for 6 was was no joke. I gave an electric wheelchair, a through lift (don't do stairs any more) a huge ramp at the front if the house, all good clues but the government is trying to save money and we're a soft target, they hope we won't appeal and will crawl in a corner and die quietly. I have found making as much noise as possible helps, get your equivalent of Your MP involved, get the local papers involved, anyone and everything you can think of I'm 62 and have found, as one of our Shift gurus says, it's the squeaky wheel that gets the oil🥊😍

Hey @Babbles89! I’m so sorry to hear you’ve had a rough week. I see that you were diagnosed this year and I was too. I had a rough summer and couple of months after. I also live in Arizona in Scottsdale and am currently unemployed waiting to see if I get approved for disability. Do you have any insurance or are you on AHCCCS? They’re pretty good about covering things. I have ahcccs and they covered my walker this summer when I was in the hospital and needed one. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
