Mobility is everything

Jeanette is a newlywed that has recently moved from downtown Hamilton to the west end of the city.

She has both an assistive walker and electric power chair.

"In the wintertime I don't use my power chair outside, just around the apartment.

Once the summer gets here I will be out all the time."

"The wet and the salt in the winter conditions gets on the battery and all over the chair, my chair is this much (whispers the amount)…. that's a lot of money."

"I like the walker because it's easier and convenient to get around, I use it in the kitchen to sit on when I'm cooking."

 What if you had a spot on your power chair to store your walker, that way you could bring both.

 That would be excellent.

"My message would be if people have an illness go and get a device… I didn't want to get one, right… But if you need it don't be ashamed."

Mobility is everything.
