Charity support to purchase Segway

newgen · 10-16-2008, 02:05 PM

I live in Northern New Jersey. I have a severe back injury, and cannot walk long distances. The Government wants to be generious and purchase me an OLD man's scooter, but a scooter doesn't serve my needs for and terrain, curbs, etc. The Segway would be the best vehicle for me to travel around town, but financing is a problem. Are there any agencies that reconize the Segway as a handicap device and not just a luxary toy.

Check out www.draft.org, it's only for returning vets, but is a good place to start. Also check out your local Elks, Lions, Odd Fellows, they do good work and may be able to help.
