On Letterdash we have blogger who is an inspiration to all. This is a man who suffers the consequences of a disease that has made him gave to rely totally on his chair – something for more than just a replacement for mobility.
I don’t normally react to on-line appeals for help as so many are scams. But I and lots of others have grown to know this man, he is real, a person facing so much and yet he remains rational, sane and retains a sense of humour. He sometimes is able to play along with us in the weekend theme, so I know he is real.
He is a man of kindness and openness, he deals with difficulties that would make me curl up and be dreadful, in ways that make me ashamed of how I deal with difficulties. He’s an ardent rugby fan, but these days couldn’t get to a game.
He blogs quite prolifically, it gets him mentally out of the house and the confines of his chair and into the outside world.

Now he is in dire need of a new chair, and that cost is out of his reach. He is asking for any contributions, small or large. I have never asked for money for anyone before (we have had a few scams here that are embarrassing to watch, but having blogged with him for many months now I believe he is genuine in his plea for some help). Details are on these 3 blogs. Go and read for yourself.
If you can help him from afar here’s a link to see what your donation would be towards his R70,000 need. http://fx-rate.net/ZAR/

Thanks for spreading the word, Sidey.
Here’s hoping that he is the “real deal” and that he gets some real wheels.
Nancy he is the real deal, and if we can each send a bit, I think we can get what he needs. As he says if he has some money he may be able to negitiate for a second hand one
I hope this guy is helped by someone. I would if I could… Thanks, Sidey, for publishing this.
I’ve done my bit, spread the news, made a payment
