St. Clair Shores woman with rare skin disorder hopeful for life-changing power chair
Rachel Buyle, a St. Clair Shores woman with Epidermolysis Bullosa, a rare skin disorder, seeks a power wheelchair to reduce pain caused by her fragile skin. Her insurance classifies the chair as recreational, so she and her husband are fundraising via GoFundMe to cover the $23,000 cost.
