Forearm crutches for Rain to get around campus in less pain

Posted Oct 1, 2024
Rain, a determined college student living with severe lupus and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, needs a reliable set of forearm crutches to navigate campus more comfortably. These crutches would provide much-needed support, helping Rain move around with less pain and greater independence. This would make a significant difference in Rain's ability to focus on education while managing their health challenges.

Rain is 21 years old and lives in PA

Rain is a resilient college student who has faced tremendous challenges, including being homeless four times before the age of 18 and spending most of their life sleeping in a car. At one point, Rain had to sleep in a detention center due to a lack of available beds in foster care agencies. After finally finding stability in a group home, they transitioned to college, determined to pursue their education despite severe health issues. Rain battles both Lupus and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, which pose significant barriers to their studies and daily life. Currently, they rely on a cane to navigate campus, but their perseverance remains unshaken. Rain is a history major, minoring in archival studies and anthropology. Rain is interested in the paranormal, the Reconstruction era of history, and playing video games.
