We are Matt Salim and Sheryl Givens. We are wanting to get Katie an off road wheelchair. We enjoy traveling but it’s getting more difficult for us to push her up rocky mountain trails and across sandy beaches in her regular wheelchair. Katie enjoys the outdoors and traveling as much as we do. We need a powered mobility wheelchair that has the ability to climb over rocks, stumps, sand and water while we are traveling.
We need a device that has the certifications to be allowed anywhere a regular wheelchair can go. These off road mobility chairs are extremely expensive. The ones we have been considering that have water proof motors are nearly $30,000. Some chairs that we initially considered can not be exposed to any water. We have been caught in surprise rain storms on previous trips so would hate to ruin an $18-$20K mobility chair because it got wet.
We want one that she can use for at least the next 10 years on trips and other adventures with her friends. Anything left over will be saved in an account that will only be used for things Katie needs. Any little bit helps and we appreciate you helping us give Katie the outdoor adventures she desires.
