There Is No Shame Is Owning/using/needing Different Mobility Aids For Different Days, Situations, Etc.

there is no shame is owning/using/needing different mobility aids for different days, situations, etc.

i own two canes and two rollators, and i’ve only recently (just of today!) that walking with my two canes (like makeshift forearm crutches) is more helpful on some days than my rollator.

initially, i felt guilt because we spent a lot of money on my rollator but my canes allow me more range of movement and less pain (not zero but still less). but then i realized i shouldn’t feel guilty for something out of my control, especially since i still get good use out of my rollator. and, if i no longer need it, i can give it to someone else!

i found a rollator someone wanted to throw out

if you use or know someone who uses a rollator, don’t throw them out!!!

give back to the community. if you don’t need it anymore and you can afford not to sell it, give it away! mobility aids never belong in the trash because someone else can always use it

punks give back

‼️please help me get a wheelchair‼️

hello, my name is leo, or more commonly known as ‘lav’ on here.

i’ve been dealing with debilitating chronic pain for over 10 years and i really need a wheelchair. i haven’t gotten much help from my healthcare system, being fat and afab has really fucked me over while trying to seek medical attention..

i am still fighting to completely figure out what’s wrong with me, but for now i know that i have several bulging discs in my lower back, as well as scoliosis. (as well as medically recognised POTS).

my pain is getting worse and worse, and i barely leave my home since walking and being upright in general hurts so much. a wheelchair would improve my life immensely, both physically and mentally.

i am currently on disability benefits, which pretty much is the lowest income group in sweden, and saving up for a wheelchair myself would take a very long time.. i will of course also be saving up as much as i can and putting into an account meant for wheelchair funds.

so i’m asking you to donate if you want to and if you are financially able to, and if not, please reblog this.

i have found a good chair that is also accessible to a fat person, and i need 7111 SEK (around 650$) to cover the cost of the chair & the shipping. i have started a gofundme that i’ll be sharing in this post, and i welcome all help, donating just a little helps, and reblogging and sharing the gofundme in general helps immensely too.

thank you so much for reading💜

YEOWCH!!

i feel like disability advocacy and homeless advocacy go hand in hand. like overlap aside, if you can't be normal about homeless people then you probably can't be normal about disabled people either

able-bodied ppl please get your shit together. i’m tired of having to remind y’all every other second that, yes, ambulatory wheelchair users do in fact exist.
