A powered wheelchair for Ananya: help Ananya move freely
A powered wheelchair would give Ananya independence - we're $7,000 away.
🇺🇸 United States589 views
Ananya lives with multiple sclerosis. The occupational therapist at the Tacoma Rehabilitation Centre has assessed her and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $7,000.
Her current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 8 weeks.
With the right equipment Ananya could join the school sports day. It would change everyday life for the whole family.
We've applied to two charities already and received small contributions; this campaign covers the rest.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $7,000 goes:
• powered wheelchair: $6,250
• Fitting and training sessions: $370
• Delivery and set-up: $165
• First-year servicing plan: $215
Every share and every dollar helps.

Sending good thoughts, Swati. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest
So sorry you're going through this. Shared it with a few friends. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Tampa.
