Who is in need of a mobility scooter to increase her quality of life?

 Carla Spooner is working hard to help her long-time friend Heather Kinch, who has multiple sclerosis and is in need of a mobility scooter to increase her quality of life.

Spooner said she first became friends with Kinch four years ago when their daughters were attending Palsson Elementary School in Lake Cowichan together. https://morescootersnow.blogspot.com/2021/06/who-is-in-need-of-mobility-scooter-to.html

She said Kinch had MS then and was unable work, but was still able to drive and physically get around with a walker or a cane.

“But I’ve watched Heather steadily decline since then and now she’s been isolated in her home, a rented single-wide trailer on the outskirts of Lake Cowichan, since before the start of the Covid-19 pandemic,” Spooner said.

“She and her husband managed to get some funding for a stair lift to at least get her down the stairs from her house to ground level. Before that she couldn’t even leave the house after a series of falls and a broken ankle.”

Spooner said, despite the difficulties in her life, Kinch continues to remain positive and really wants to get back to being active in the life of her nine-year-old daughter Phoebe.
