Text: This is Rams. For the past 4 years, Ramelle has been living with severe Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS)
— a debilitating neuroimmune illness that has left them mostly bedbound and dependent on full-time care.
Recently, medication has helped enough that Ramelle can tolerate a bit more movement and stimulation.
Their medical team believes that a custom power wheelchair would safely give them some independence back. Unfortunately, the wheelchair they been prescribed costs S28,745. Insurance will only cover $2,300, leaving $26,445 out of pocket.

The Text: We've spent months searching for funding options in BC - including charities, organizations, and government programs - but none have been able to help. So we're asking for help from the community.
If you're able to donate or even just share this post, it would mean the world to us. Every share helps bring Ramelle closer to regaining some freedom.
At the bottom, it says: GoFundMe link in bio
Hi all! My partner put together a fundraiser to help me get a power wheelchair so I can have some independence back! Our insurance barely covers a fraction and we exhausted all other options
Even $5 will help!
