trying to get it charged has been a problerm. He hasn’t used it since getting
the new chair.

While I
was at the PPMD conference last month, I ran into a women who is the South
African PPMD. She was telling us about how bad it is there when it comes
to getting powerchairs for DMD boys. They have to pay completely out of
pocket, there is no insurance to help.
I just
wanted to put this out to the groups. When your son gets a new
powerchair, what do you do with the old one? In the past, I have always
given Jason ’s to the MDA loaner
closet. This time, I’m giving it to Maxine in South Africa
. They will pay for shipping. Of course, if there can be more
than one chair, then the costs will be less per chair. I still have Jason ’s old chair from 3 year ago. So, is anyone
has a chair they are no longer using, would you please consider donating it
the PPMD South Africa.
