Reddit, I'm broke and need a new wheelchair. If I sold ad space on my current wheelchair and took pics, would any of you be interested?

I've had this wheelchair since my first years in high school. I'm 28 and still using the same frame which doesn't fit me anymore. My seat cushion is busted and provides zero support. The feet plate are bent up and the material used for the seat/back is torn up. I have private insurance but I can't even afford the deductible ($1250) nor the %20 I must pay once the deductible is met. I live on my own, so my mobility is key which is why I really want an ultra lightweight wheelchair but the lighter you get, the higher the price. I estimate that my out of pocket costs will end up somewhere in the $3,000 range after all customizations/features are taken into account when getting a new chair. My back is killing me and at this point, would love nothing more then to get a new chair. I had my eyes on this model in particular. I'm flat broke so I thought about selling ads space on my wheelchair. So reddit, if I went through with it, would anyone on reddit be interested?

For the curious, here is a picture of my antique chair. The bitch in the picture is my roommates dog, snatch. The most awesome pit bull in the world.

Update: For anyone curious as I'm sure this will come up..This is me and I have cerebral palsy. A quick shout out to Zach! You are awesome!

Update #2: This seems to be moving up rather quickly so just in case this keeps up, I am looking into a paypal account for anyone interested in helping. I'll post an update with the information when I figure out what I'm doing. Thanks everyone!

Update #3: I was going to setup a new paypal account for the sake of my own privacy, but what the heck, I'll just use my [personal paypal account](deleted and no longer needed thanks to reddit!!!). Since this is reddit and things can get crazy, quickly, let me apologize if I don't get back to you right away. I'm getting lots of comments/PM's and I am trying to get to everyone. Thanks to all of you for your help. Reddit really has me stunned and amazed right now. You have no idea. You rock!

Update #4: I've got to take a break for an hour or two but I will be back to reply to everyone. I promise I will personally get back to each and everyone who was so kind to help. So far, $400 has been raised!! Reddit, you truly are a miracle to behold. I can't say thank you enough. Be back shortly!

Reddit, I'm back! It's starting to look like I'll need a small army soon. This is so amazing. So many comments, PM's and emails to go through but I'm slowly getting through the backlog. You can bet I will be snapping a few pictures if this new chair becomes a reality. You are all amazing!

Update #5: Reddit, I'm in shock. $1800 so far! I can't believe this! I'm almost in tears... I'm still trying to get back to everyone. Please be patient. I just took a flexeril, my bones and muscles kinda hurt so if I don't respond, I've probably passed out for the night but I will be back as soon as I can. Bless all of you!

Update #6: I just woke from my slumber and its 2:00AM CST. Holy S*@$*&!. Stop sending money please. You've all collectively sent $3463.17. More then enough to get a dream wheelchair. I never expected this in my wildest dreams. I know how many posts reddit churns through everyday and how much content is probably never seen. But what started out as a silly thought, something of a daydream that I thought no one would pay attention to turned into something real. Only a handful of you (and I mean a handful) asked for ads which really blew me away and I am in shock....I'll be calling a PT tomorrow to get the ball rolling and I'll be sure to post pics of the new chair soon and keep everyone up to date on things. Reddit, again, thank you. You are amazing. I honestly can say this is the best thing that I've ever had happen to me. Back to bed. I'll continue responding to everyone in the morning! Goodnight reddit!

Update #7 Awake to a new day! I went ahead and removed my paypal account as so many of you were able to help so much more than I could have ever imagined. I called my family and told them the news. I also requested a 1/2 day off from work today so I could spend more go through everyones emails and fulfill any ad requests and start calling/contacting the proper medical peoples to get the ball rolling on a new chair. You can be sure pictures of the new chair will be posted. It may be upwards of 6-8 weeks from start to finish but I'll make sure to keep everyone updated on its progress! I love you reddit! I love you reddit! I love you reddit! I love you reddit! Again, thank you so much!

For those who would like some reassurance that I am who I say I am, I'll gladly contact whoever is in charge at the reddit batcave. Is this possible?

Update #8: Because mom's will be moms, here are some childhood pictures for your enjoyment! About 1/2 way going through all the emails/PM's. Hopefully I'll be able to finish up responding to everyones messages by sometime tomorrow. Thanks again reddit! And yes, I was a major nerd.

Click here, here and here! Notice my current wheelchair in the first picture, when I was around 15. The chair really is that old! I really can't wait for a new one!!! :) Oh, and the good looking lady in picture 3 is none other than my mother, better known as IKnowHimWell.

Update #9: I ended up spending most of the day with mom so I apologize for the lack of updates and responses to all your emails/PM's. It's been such a wild ride but I wanted to spend some time relaxing with friends and family over the weekend. She and I both are still pinching ourselves! Hopefully over the next week I'll have some accurate measurements to post up for those who kindly offered additional assistance in getting demo chairs for me to try out. Reddit, thank you again from the bottom of my heart.

** One last note. I saw this article and wanted to bring it to reddits attention. Unfortunately, I was in this poor girls shoes as well many times throughout school so I feel her pain. Bullying happens often, but is rarely acknowledged or resolved via school officials. I'm sure my mom would find it surprising that I had to deal with bullying quite often and until this post she probably never knew about it. Please educate your children and be active in PTA/school board meetings about these kinds of issues. Reddit, you've done so much for me already, but if you could help push this to the front page I would greatly appreciate it!**

Update #10: It was a busy Monday at work but I'm back to give everyone an update! I've got appointments setup to be measured for the new chair so I should have more details for everyone by early next week. My insurance company (or at least the rep I spoke with at UHC) was so nice to point out that I may not be able to get the exact chair/features I want strictly because UHC reserves the right to approve or deny coverage based on what is most cost-effective so I am preparing myself for that if that should happen. It's sad isn't it? It's things like this that make me wish I was born in another country but thats a whole other can of worms :P I received a few thousand emails/PM's combined (no joke) so please, if I haven't gotten back to you yet I apologize. Just email me again and I'll respond as soon as I can. More updates soon! Thanks reddit!!!
