A powered wheelchair for Anderson: help Anderson move freely
A powered wheelchair would give Anderson independence - we're $3,100 away.
🇧🇷 Paraná, Brazil4,665 views
Anderson lives with a rare neuromuscular condition. The occupational therapist at Londrina General Hospital has assessed him and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $3,100.
His current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 12 weeks.
With the right equipment Anderson could attend work interviews. 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $3,100 goes:
• powered wheelchair: $2,950
• Fitting and training sessions: $65
• Delivery and set-up: $35
• First-year servicing plan: $50
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Thinking of you and your family, Cláudia. Wishing Anderson a smooth procedure and a full recovery
Hope things get better soon, Cláudia. Hope you get there.
Sending love. Shared it with a few friends. Love from Bristol
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too
best of luck. Get well soon. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best.
keep going, Cláudia. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My husband and I read this together.
So sorry you're going through this. Hope you get there. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Fresno
you're not alone. Hope you get there. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Londrina.
