A powered wheelchair for Andrew: help Andrew move freely

A powered wheelchair would give Andrew independence - we are $4,900 away.

Andrew lives with multiple sclerosis. The occupational therapist at the London Rehabilitation Centre has assessed him and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $4,900. His current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 4 weeks. With the right equipment Andrew could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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 $4,900 goes: • Fitting and training sessions: $240 • First-year servicing plan: $210 • powered wheelchair: $4,450 Thanks for being kind about this. - Madeline

    hope it all works out, Madeline. Get well soon. After 24 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.

            Sending good thoughts, Madeline. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Tangier.
