A powered wheelchair for Danica: help me move freely
A powered wheelchair would give Danica independence - we're $1,350 away.

I live with a spinal cord injury. My occupational therapist at the Bacoor Rehabilitation Centre has assessed me and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,350.
My current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 6 weeks.
With the right equipment I could join the school sports day. It would change my everyday life and my ability to work from home.
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 $1,350 goes:
• powered wheelchair: $1,200
• Fitting and training sessions: $50
• Delivery and set-up: $25
• First-year servicing plan: $75
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
