Inoru<p>Outside of living costs, my wheelchair batteries are slowly approaching end of life due to... idk planned obsolescence bullshit with lithium-ion batteries and how much you can charge them and get out of them per charge as they get older and-- a lot of shit I don't understand but the point IS, they're slowly dying on me.</p><p>My wheelchair is how I go places without a million exhaustion Every Time. The optimal OEM replacement is $500 (plus whatever shipping); I can't even figure out what non-OEM option might work, plus I'd rather not risk fires and explosions. (Mind you, I don't know why a 24v 20Ah (480Wh) battery is $500 but that's fucking disability markup for you. 🙃🙃)</p><p>(Also, I need a better/different cushion. My tailbone hates my current one - it worked great for my old chair but... lmao.)</p><p>We have a vague plan to ask a local-ish medical supplies store if they carry or can get this battery and if so, how much (aka will it be a better price than ordering it ourselves) but we'll still need to be able to *pay* for it.</p><p>So... if anyone is able to help out, that's great. 💕 (If any of y'all know someone who can absolutely spare a whole $500 at once, stick this in their face and be like "come on help them keep their independence" lolol.) </p><p>For real tho, passing this along to a wider circle is A++, the more eyes the better, and if that's all you can do: thank you!! I appreciate it! If you can manage $1, or $5, or $10, $25, whatever increment you can spare: thank you!! I appreciate it!</p><p>My cashapp is $Inoru<br>Spouse's venmo (because I don't have venmo; pls specify "for Inoru's chair"): <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://blorbo.social/@californiummm" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>californiummm</span></a></span></p><p>Ask <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://kolektiva.social/@camilla" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>camilla</span></a></span> for PayPal/zelle info if cashapp or venmo don't work for you. 💕 (please also specify "for Inoru's chair")</p><p><a href="https://blorbo.social/tags/transcrowdfund" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>transcrowdfund</span></a> <a href="https://blorbo.social/tags/transcrowdfunding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>transcrowdfunding</span></a> <a href="https://blorbo.social/tags/disabledcrowdfund" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>disabledcrowdfund</span></a> <a href="https://blorbo.social/tags/disabledcrowdfunding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>disabledcrowdfunding</span></a> <a href="https://blorbo.social/tags/deafcrowdfund" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>deafcrowdfund</span></a> <a href="https://blorbo.social/tags/deafcrowdfunding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>deafcrowdfunding</span></a> <a href="https://blorbo.social/tags/helpfolkslive" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>helpfolkslive</span></a> <a href="https://blorbo.social/tags/HelpFolksLive2025" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HelpFolksLive2025</span></a> <a href="https://blorbo.social/tags/mutualaid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mutualaid</span></a> <a href="https://blorbo.social/tags/MutualAidRequest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MutualAidRequest</span></a> <a href="https://blorbo.social/tags/moneyhelp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>moneyhelp</span></a> <a href="https://blorbo.social/tags/wheelchairuser" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>wheelchairuser</span></a> <a href="https://blorbo.social/tags/powerchairuser" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>powerchairuser</span></a> <a href="https://blorbo.social/tags/wereallwegot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>wereallwegot</span></a> <a href="https://blorbo.social/tags/passingthesame20bucksaround" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>passingthesame20bucksaround</span></a></p>
