My Story:
Hello, and thank you for taking the time to read this.
My name is Val. I’m 23 and living with multiple chronic illnesses that have severely limited my mobility, independence, and overall quality of life. These conditions affect every part of my day. I also live with major depression, which only deepens as my physical health declines.
Over the past few years, I’ve watched my body weaken without answers. I’ve been in and out of emergency rooms, had test after test done, and still received no real help. I’ve done everything I can to keep going, but even basic tasks like leaving the house or running errands are now incredibly difficult. My legs give out easily. I feel faint and nauseous after short walks. I rely entirely on others to get around, and that dependence has made me feel powerless and stuck.
Still, I am fighting. I wake up each day and try again. I am doing everything I can to stay strong, stay hopeful, and keep moving forward despite everything working against me. I do not want to give up. I want to live. I want to regain even a small sense of freedom.
That is why I am raising 15,000 dollars for a Q Runner mobility scooter.
Why the Q Runner?
The Q Runner is not a typical mobility scooter. It is a fully enclosed electric vehicle designed for people with limited mobility. It has doors, a roof, windows, and extra space for carrying personal items. It offers weather protection and comfort that standard scooters just cannot provide.
This would allow me to safely leave my home, go to appointments, buy essentials, or simply get outside without needing constant assistance. It is ideal for someone like me who cannot physically handle long distances but still wants a way to navigate the world with some comfort and security.
Why This Matters:
This is not about luxury. This is about reclaiming my life.
Right now, I feel trapped. Being stuck indoors has made my depression worse and taken away any sense of control I had left. The Q Runner would give me back the ability to move, to make choices, to participate in life without relying on someone else every step of the way.
Regaining that independence would help me mentally and emotionally. It would allow me to attend appointments on my own, take care of small errands, and connect with the outside world in a way that currently feels impossible. I want to keep fighting, but I need the right tools to do that. The Q Runner would be life-changing.
How You Can Help:
My goal is 15,000 dollars. This covers the Q Runner, shipping, taxes, and any needed adjustments to make it work for my body and daily needs. I know it is a lot, and I would never ask if it were not truly necessary.
Every donation, no matter the size, brings me closer to the freedom I have been missing. Every share helps more than I can say. If you are not able to give, just spreading the word means the world to me.
Thank you for reading my story. Thank you for caring. This mobility scooter could give me back the freedom, peace, and hope I have been holding on for. I may be struggling, but I am still here and I am still trying.
