Asking for help.

Rather than writing up a whole other thing, this is what @dadhoc wrote for the fundraiser:

Hello friends!

As many of you are aware, Mandy’s been having a heck of a time with their KD Smart Chair.  It’s been fritzing out on us at conventions and events, and finally sparked out and died quite dramatically at HLG Con in Atlantic City a couple weeks ago.

To make matters worse, we were struck by another vehicle on our way there, and are going to be stuck paying the deductible since no witnesses stopped and the other driver is refusing fault.

After talking with the fine folks over at Wheelchair and Scooter Repair for an estimate and tossing on the cost of the insurance deductible, we’re going to be out of pocket about a grand.  This is, to put it mildly, not money we have right now.

Mandy needs their wheeled legs back, as we depend upon their mobility at conventions and shows in order to make a living.  Once we’ve got the money,  we can order the repairs and have their chair back and running in short order.

Every little bit helps!  Thank you in advance, so so much!

So, …yeah. Our car needs repairs and my chair completely died and it’ll cost at least this much to get the car fixed and have a tech assess if my chair can even be repaired.

Hopefully it can because otherwise we’re looking at funding a whole new chair.

Anyway, here’s the fundraiser. Please help if you can and share if you can’t. Losing my mobility has been emotionally crushing.
