Help Anthony get a powered wheelchair so He can join the school sports day.

Anthony lives with cerebral palsy. The occupational therapist at the Seattle Mobility Clinic has assessed him and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $2,950.
His current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 12 weeks.
With the right equipment Anthony 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $2,950 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $145
• Fitting and training sessions: $330
• powered wheelchair: $2,475
Thank you for reading my story.

Hope things get better soon, Natalie. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from San Nicolás de los Garza.
