There goes Speedy Gonzales!

Jenny has suffered from Rheumatoid Arthritis for 13 years — it affects her whole body, particularly her shoulders, arms and legs. She is in constant pain and sometimes her joints simply lock and she cannot move. Jenny needed a powered wheelchair with variable seat height but a supplier had quoted a very high price. We found her a better chair at half the cost and fully funded it for her.

Jenny has had many problems, but her powered wheelchair has given her a new lease of life and she faces it with an enthusiasm, that is an example to us all. She says the following:

"I now see a future full of new hope, new friends and new beginnings - in fact seeing into the future never looked this good. My new chair has given me confidence and freedom that I never thought possible, thanks to Mobility Trust. Without them many people would be left with a bleak future and little hope"

Jenny’s neighbours say "there goes Speedy Gonzales".
