“I cannot thank you enough for helping me become more independent as I transition into university. As a manual wheelchair user I felt limited in where I could go without the help of a carer, I had to rely on others to commute to class or go out and socialise with friends. These limitations are now gone, and all without the need for a typical powered wheelchair which comes with its own limitations in terms of the space it requires during travel and its versatility. There have been so many small steps or curbs that I wouldn’t have been able to cross without the agile control these powered wheels give me. After the past couple months, I cannot imagine my life without them and I feel more confident because of them.”
