Has anyone taken a wheelchair with them on vacation to donate to a resident in need?
Asking for Help

We have a child's manual wheelchair that our daughter has outgrown. We are travelling to the D.R. (vacation) in Feb. Would like to take this chair with us for someone who needs it. Wondering if anyone has done this before?
They don't weigh it when we are travelling with our daughter. I will contact them ahead of time and see what their policy is regarding donations. Hopefully, no charge.


Very good idea. It would go along with your check-in baggage. Hope the airline staff don't weigh it.

How can I find an affordable, wheelchair friendly hotel in Paris in the Marais for 10 days start April 12th?
Helping a wheelchair athlete in the 2011 London Marathon is not easy

I am wondering if there is a place I can post what we are looking for and get hotels to bid for our business. 10 nights Paris hotel, ideally in the 4th arrondisement, wheelchair accessible. Thanks!


You may find this list useful: http://www.globalaccessnews.com/paris_ap pendices03.htm

Inexpensive hotels in Paris in the center tend to be in quite old buildings with no elevator or with tiny elevators that are close to useless for a wheelchair user. The center of Paris is densely built and there is often little or no room for accessbility improvements such as ramps that meet modern standards.

Is it rude for someone in a electric wheelchair to run my feet over?
Helping a wheelchair athlete in the 2011 London Marathon is not easy

I feel sorry for handicapped people who are in a wheelchair but sometimes when I am walking by them or if I am on the bus, they would run my feet over with the electric wheelchair and not watch where they are going!!!!! So is that still rude of them?! I don’t care if they are in a wheelchair and handicapped or not, that doesn’t give them the right to not watch what they are doing?! Its called having manners.


It's rude if they deliberately did it and even ruder if they noticed but didn't apologise.
