Mobility equipment for Single Lady

The figure above includes the cost of fulfillment.
I am a single female living alone. In 1956 I contracted polio and walked with crutches. I had been able to manage and take care of the house and myself until April 2009. I fell in my kitchen and broke both bones in my left leg a few inches above my ankle. I had surgery to put in a titanium rod, but my knee has not figured how to stand straight. In order for my shoulders not to bear all my weight when I walk, I use a motorized scooter. This works well when I go out, but I can't get it out of the trunk of my S.U.V.
I pray a lot for someone to come along and help me. The equipment I am asking for is a crane type of device that, once attached to the frame in my trunk, will attach with straps to the frame of the scooter, lift and place it in the trunk. This will give me independence and safety, and I won't have to ask strangers (although they have been kind thus far). My monthly SSI is $1266, rent is $800. The cost of the crane and installation is $1045. This equipment will allow me to get to the store and to church safely. Thank you for your consideration.
