[Blind-Rollers] A friend in need of a wheelchair who is told no because she is blind

[Gary Wunder]

I have a blind woman who has so much pain in her upper body that she finds
it difficult to use a manual wheelchair. She wants and can afford an
electric chair. Her doctor will not prescribe one because he believes a
blind person in a power chair is unsafe. She says that even a distributor
she has talked with will not sell her one because they believe she will get
hurt and sue them.

 

Is anyone here using a power chair or can you put me in touch with someone
who is? Thank you very much.
