Hi, I’m Tyler, the admin of the MG Hope blog. I have MG among many other chronic illnesses and I use a mobility scooter to get around on my college campus.

I’m a part time college student studying for a B.S. in Computer Information Systems & Technology. I started college in 2011 as a full time student before my diagnosis and kept going while trying to get a diagnosis. I am determined to finish and my mobility scooter is my lifeline to get to and from classes and meetings as a student leader. Without a new scooter, I will likely be unable to finish school.

My current scooter needs about $500 – $600 worth of parts and it is 15 years old, bought used. I need a new one as I can’t see putting money into something that may or may not last, but I lack the funds to buy it. My insurance won’t pay for it as I don’t need or use it within my home to complete my “daily living activities.”

I greatly appreciate any help you can provide and I hope you’ll consider sharing this link.
