Sheila Carr, from Leominster, has pledged all profits from her book, April and her Adventures, to Age UK Wyvern.
The book follows the story of April, a little girl who relies on her dog for confidence.
This was a particularly difficult process for Ms Carr, as she has quadriplegic cerebral palsy, which impacts her ability to move.
She said: “I have to double tap every letter on my tablet in order to type.
“It’s a long process and it’s frustrating as sometimes I can’t get down my thoughts quickly enough.”
“I was so happy to finish it, and I thought to myself, ‘Wow, I’ve really done it'”.
She also volunteers for the charity, ringing an older person on a weekly basis for a friendly chat.
Malcolm Craig, from Age UK, said: “We can’t thank Sheila enough.
“Not only has she raised much-needed funds through her book, but she also volunteers for our befriending scheme, ringing an older person on a weekly basis for a friendly chat.
“Our organisation couldn’t run without the invaluable support of people like Sheila.”

Letters should not exceed 250 words and local issues take precedence.
Over 200 people every week receive calls or visits from volunteers from Age UK’s befriending scheme.
However, demand for the service is extremely high and volunteers are essential to keep it going.
She is now working on a second book, which centres around a disabled teenage girl and deals with the stigma faced by many people living with disabilities.
