Ugh, wheelchair tire blew and I have no spare

Ugh, wheelchair tire blew and I have no spareOk, that is no fun!  I'm sitting there then all of a sudden a strange hiss of air.  Looked down and my tire is flat.  Ok, yeah I know tires go flat, but there is something unsettling about a tire going flat in your wheelchair.  I don't have a spare and can't afford to get one.  

When a tire goes flat on your bike and you can walk it home.  Goes flat on the road...well you can still sit in your car comfortably till help arrives.  When it goes flat on your chair you can't sit in it, you can't move as easily as you could 2 minutes ago and suddenly your whole life is turned upside down.  This is a first experience for me and I don't like it. 

It's hard for me to use other chairs to sit in, transferring is extremely painful on my knees and hips.  I have great difficulty getting out of any chair, but with my trusty wheelchair I can push the chair towards my legs as I'm trying to stand so my legs don't wobble so much which reduces the pain and stabilizes my legs which reduces the risk of collapse. 

Wow...when a tire goes flat you really do realize just how much that piece of equipment has helped you and how totally lost you are without it.  Amy set me up with her office chair...I can't move the chair!  My legs can't push the chair backwards or pull it forward.  My insurance payment bounced this month and my trash payment is late again, yet again I planned on money that didn't come in so now I have late fees that will hurt my budget for July. We are eating ramen and veggies till payday cuz again I budgeted on money I thought was coming in and now my freaking tire blows out on me!  I did not need this.

Financial Problems

Financial ProblemsHi. I'm new to this. We are a family of 4. 2 kids under 3 yrs old and we are hoping for some help of some sorts. I lost my job back in November 2008 and haven't had any luck finding a new one. I have had interviews but they ended up denials. I'm trying hard to live  with the very lil income we have but no luck. People donate diapers and clothes and food to us but haven't any help with bills. Hope we can find some donaters out there to help with mainly our rent. Thanks for listening.
