Can’t she get the powerchair through her disability program?

Tell her you’re going to take her to the park. Talk to her the whole way, and be silly if need be.
When you get her back, thank her and tell her you appreciated her company. Ask when you can do it again.
Maybe the next time could be at a mall. She’ll come around. She needs to feel someone cares. More than just the doctors and careworkers.

I think calean’s advice is good. She probably feels like no one would want to be her friend. Let her know you care by taking her out and enjoying her company.

thanks, David

My husband knows just what she is going through. He lost both of his legs in the last 2 years. When he lost his first leg it was difficult for him But then when he lost his other leg he lost his will to live. He’s muslim and we pray 5xs a day and when I noticed he wasn’t praying I knew he was loosing the one thing everone needs and that is faith.I took it upon myself to make him my total focus in order to get him back where he should be.I called all of his friends and informed them of what he was going through.and told them we need to bring him back. So everytime he would say something negative I would tell him to stop thinking like that and you must think posative because God will only give us what we can handle so you have to stay strong so please tell her this.Now if she is in need of a wheelchair then have her go through modestneeds.com they migh tbe able to help her.if not then take her to her church or mosque what ever her faith may be I’m sure they will be willing to hep her in someway. Just don’t give up and stay strong. I know personally from what I have gone through with my husband.
