Single mother with terrible psoriasis on her feet requires wheelie walker to help her mobility
GIVIT
Our single mother is in desperate need of a basic wheelie walker to assist with her mobility. This lady is suffering through terrible psoriasis- the thickening of skin on the soles of her feet. This skin cracks deeply, bleeds and is prone to infection. This condition has extended to both hands and is now forming on her back. To save money on bandaids, she is using pantyliners on both feet, and then wearing socks to keep them in place. She has sought regular medical attention regarding this, as she is also diabetic and is at risk of potentially losing her feet should fast treatment not be received. The walker would aid her in helping her walk her children to the bus stop for school, and for helping her go to medical appointments. She is currently using a shopping trolley that she takes from the supermarket adjoining the medical centre. The walker would also provide her with somewhere to sit to rest her feet when needed.
