Dear Fellow Sacramento Wheelchair User

Ever have a wheelchair break down in the evening or on the weekend? Last Friday night my chair popped a circuit breaker (accessible only to a mechanic) on a flight into Sacramento. Because wheelchair mechanics aren't available nights and weekends, it was Monday afternoon before I got my chair repaired.

Solution: Perhaps 20 Sacramento wheelchair users can work together to pay a wheelchair mechanic to be on call 6-9 pm week nights and 9 am - 9 pm week-ends. We (the wheelchair users) would pay $50 / month ($1000 total from 20 people). Of that, $800 of that would go to the mechanic just for being on call by cell phone. $200 would go to one of the users to act as administrator. In addition, users would pay the mechanic an hourly fee for actual repairs.

Right now, this project is just a concept. If you want to work with me to make it a reality, e-mail me at This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it et.
