These were provided to people with reduced mobility to their upper body and arms, as well as legs, based on an functional assessment conducted by the regional Motivation teams and on social surveys. With the support of\u00a0 their newly received equipment, the users\u2019 lives have changed for the better, due to the mobility they regained and the independence to do activities that for some may seem common place \u2013 getting out of the house, going shopping, participating in family reunions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"cmsms_row_69e0a6f0e38223_72605184\" class=\"cmsms_row cmsms_color_scheme_default\">\n<div class=\"cmsms_row_outer_parent\">\n<div class=\"cmsms_row_outer\">\n<div class=\"cmsms_row_inner\">\n<div class=\"cmsms_row_margin\">\n<div class=\"cmsms_column one_first\">\n<div class=\"cmsms_text\">\n<p><strong><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/motivation.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG-20200827-WA0011-e1603113341769.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/>Carlo P. <\/strong>is 12 years old and he is diagnosed with muscular dystrophy, which means that his strength is progressively affected. His brother got in touch with us through Facebook in June and asked us to help Carlo by providing an electric wheelchair, so he could get out of the house and be able to independently perform activities. At his age, curiosity and the need to explore and move around by himself come naturally. Unfortunately, we could not help him then, due to the lack of an electric wheelchair. Instead, we engaged to provide an appropriate manual wheelchair that would ensure Carlo\u2019s correct positioning and prevent postural deformities. Just before we were able to do this, two events that would change Carlo\u2019s life for the better happened: we received an electric wheelchair fit for him and also help from a good person, Mrs. Ica Rancea, who helped us deliver it to the boy&#8217;s house in Olt County. After its delivery, our first thought was to teach Carlo how to use the electric wheelchair in order to move around by himself, so he would not need to call his mother at every turn. Very few explanations were required because as soon as he received the wheelchair, Carlo knew exactly what to do with it and how to use it so he could be free for the first time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"cmsms_row_69e0a6f0e39016_32629481\" class=\"cmsms_row cmsms_color_scheme_default\">\n<div class=\"cmsms_row_outer_parent\">\n<div class=\"cmsms_row_outer\">\n<div class=\"cmsms_row_inner\">\n<div class=\"cmsms_row_margin\">\n<div class=\"cmsms_column one_first\">\n<div class=\"cmsms_text\">\n<p><strong><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/motivation.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG-20200901-WA0012-e1603113123292.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/>Panainte P. <\/strong>is 42 years old and has been using a wheelchair since 2008, as a result of a car accident. Since then, Mr. Panainte\u2019s mobility and sensitivity have been severely affected in his legs, but also in his arms and upper body. As a result, it is impossible for him to independently maneuver a manual wheelchair. Both for moving around and for getting in and out of the wheelchair, he has to ask his wife for help. An electric wheelchair was a mobility equipment that he had been dreaming of for a long time, but could not afford.<\/p>\n<p>Our colleagues from the Motivation team in Buzau donated such a wheelchair for him, and now he can get involved more in his family\u2019s life and provide more support. He can spend more time with his 12 year old son, whom he helps with homework and he can now move around without asking his wife for help. Once he received the electric wheelchair, his future plans changed and they now include getting out of the house more often, enjoying more time in nature, go to the store by himself and outside and greet his neighbors.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"cmsms_row_69e0a6f0e39ca3_62195869\" class=\"cmsms_row cmsms_color_scheme_default\">\n<div class=\"cmsms_row_outer_parent\">\n<div class=\"cmsms_row_outer\">\n<div class=\"cmsms_row_inner\">\n<div class=\"cmsms_row_margin\">\n<div class=\"cmsms_column one_first\">\n<div class=\"cmsms_text\">\n<p><strong><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/motivation.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/121979024_365029087947545_2917422555060659823_n-e1603117599700.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/>Marius N. <\/strong>is 34 years old and has been using a wheelchair since he was 11, due to a medical intervention that resulted in complications. He lost his mother to an incurable disease, while his father also suffers from serious health issues. Now, Marius counts on his brother for everything. Because of the mobility disability that affect his legs, upper body and arms, he can\u2019t use a manual wheelchair. The only chance he has to lead a more independent life is an electric wheelchair.<\/p>\n<p>Because of the lack of funds to buy one, Marius had to pay a tax in order to rent an electric wheelchair from a neighbor, just so he could enjoy freedom of movement for a short time. It was even more difficult for him during the pandemic, in the state of emergency, when even this deal became a luxury. It all changed for the better for him, once he received an electric wheelchair from Motivation\u2019s team in Prahova. With its help, he can now move around on his own. Besides that, his family doesn\u2019t need to face other financial challenges in order to rent an electric wheelchair for him.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"cmsms_row_69e0a6f0e3a6a8_96098011\" class=\"cmsms_row cmsms_color_scheme_default\">\n<div class=\"cmsms_row_outer_parent\">\n<div class=\"cmsms_row_outer\">\n<div class=\"cmsms_row_inner\">\n<div class=\"cmsms_row_margin\">\n<div class=\"cmsms_column one_first\">\n<div class=\"cmsms_text\">\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/motivation.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG-20200902-WA0003-e1603116232670.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Paul G. <\/strong>is from Brasov and he works in a car service.

His mother is constantly supporting him and helping with everything that suddenly became difficult for him, overnight. In time, Laurentiu took part in various programs organized by Motivation and received a manual wheelchair from us. However, his condition prevented him from using it. In some cases, it would be difficult even for his mother to handle the manual wheelchair, especially in inaccessible areas, where there are high boardwalks or thresholds.<\/p>\n<p>The Motivation team from Bucharest Ilfov donated to Laurentiu an electric wheelchair that can be handled by his mother. For him, an electric wheelchair with a joystick would not have been of too much help, as he would not have been able to control it, because of the lack of mobility in his fingers.
