Wheelchair brace
The challenge
As an attorney, writer and disability activist, Ariella travels often. Unfortunately, on many occasions, her wheelchair is damaged or lost during air travel. She is looking for a way to continue traveling the world without worrying about being stranded without her wheelchair somewhere far away from home.

Ariella was diagnosed with Spinal Muscular Atrophy at the age of three and lost the ability to walk at the age of eleven.
