Try Facebook, looking for groups local to you, somebody may have or know of someone else with one they don't need.

4 years ago I had a fall and broke my ankle (yes it was Ataxia related) and needed a wheelchair. I got it through the Red Cross (Fleet, Hampshire branch) and payment was whatever I could afford - in my case I gave them £30 having had the chair for 3 weeks. Your nearest branch will I'm sure be able to help. Good Luck! Derek.
