Wanted: Wheelchair wheel

Posted on Mar 20 2015

My name is Jim and I need your help. Apparently, the right front wheel of my son’s wheelchair sprouted legs and walked off. This is a huge problem as we cannot order parts for this chair. I contacted the CAREX company and they told me that they cannot order individual parts since the wheelchairs come complete from China.

The wheel went missing several months ago and I have given up trying to locate a used wheel. Our only hope for using the wheelchair without constant tipping and crashing is if somebody finds that missing wheel. Since a single wheel is useless to anybody for any purpose, I figure it must have been pitched out somewhere, maybe in a field or a dumpster. I will pay $40 NO QUESTIONS ASKED (I’m not kidding when I say I do not care about the details) for the return of this wheel. Please email Jaybyrd740@yahoo.com with any information you may have—I can send you photos of the missing wheel. Without this front wheel, the wheelchair is very hard to use and tips over all the time.

Thank you and God bless.
