    Arti Rani

    from New Delhi, National Capital Territory of Delhi

"I was born to run-until life broke my spine. But not my spirit."
 
At 5, Arti moved from Noorpur, Hapur to Delhi, chasing an urban dream for a better life with her family. After class 12th, she left school to work, to support her family’s economic burden. A few years later, in 2017, a split-second accident in Agra shattered her spine, confining her to a wheelchair forever until there’s a miraculous recovery.
She spent the next few years of her life confined in bed with copious tears as her constant companion thinking where and why her life had hit this tragic turn.

She drowned in her sorrows and watched her family drown with her along with additional issues
  •  Father’s unstable job.
  •  The brother who was unemployed for the longest time only set up a cold-drink cart recently-his only income and his own kid and wife to look after.
  •  Mother’s helpless tears.
  •  Her own medical bills: ₹7,000/month- which included a special pipe just to urinate; just to exist.
  • Dealing with being a cripple and additional societal scrutiny and sympathy  
"I don’t need legs to move forward. I just need a better chance to look at the world everyday more and enjoy my remaining life" 

Arti finally took a call and decided to give her life another shot. In order to become an independent woman who can not only earn her own bread but also contribute to the family’s income, she turned her wheelchair into a makeshift battery-run vehicle-clunky, unreliable, but her only shot at freedom. Now, she delivers food, fights for scraps of work, and faces employers who hesitate to hire "someone like her."
But every day is a battle:
🔋 Battery and maintenance issues with the vehicle, costs somewhere around 30-35k, sometimes fails mid-delivery and she has all strangers on the road
💊 Medicine costs steal her earnings.
🏠 Rent, household needs, family—on her shoulders
🕊️Desire to be independent, responsibility weighs heavy.
But she doesn’t want pity. She wants wheels.  
A proper mobility scooter (₹80,000) will cut her maintenance costs, boost her range, and finally let her work without fear. No more breakdowns. No more humiliation. Just independence. She is not even dreaming of having a life partner, she wants to be her own partner and provider!
YOU CAN BE HER FREEDOM
💰 ₹500 fuels her for a day.
🛵 ₹5,000 gets her closer to reliable wheels.
🌟 ₹80,000 changes her life forever.
Despite all the odds she is an active member of the Gig Workers Assocaition (GigWA) and trying hard not to be a cog in the wheels.
So don’t let her wheels stop where her legs did.
Donate now. Share her story. Be the hope she’s fighting for.
