Hello,
As most of you know I am paralyzed from the chest down due to a 3-wheeler accident. Luckily, I have some arm movement, mostly in my right arm. That movement along with some adaptive equipment and my speech recognition allows me to use my laptop. Thank God! Because I spend most of my time in bed and I would go crazy without my laptop! And I can't imagine not being connected to my family, friends and the world!
I've had this same laptop for almost five years and now two of the USB ports that I plug my speech recognition headset into are broken and the third one has a short but luckily it works most of the time. It also has software issues or a virus or something because it goes really slow, sometimes doesn't respond to my speech recognition commands and has even suddenly signed me out several times... That was strange! I have tried several different virus/malware removal programs, none of which helped so I have to restart it quite a bit! It definitely has problems and they are getting worse!
Because Medicare/Medicaid here in Missouri won't pay for the type of wheelchair that I need my family is paying for a used one. They have also put my van into the shop to have several hundred dollars worth of repairs done otherwise getting me a laptop wouldn't be a problem.
Anything you can donate will be a huge help and it will be greatly appreciated! Like I said, I can't imagine not being connected to my family, friends and the world! And because I spend most of my time in bed I would go crazy without my laptop!
