A powered wheelchair for Danish: help me move freely
Danish needs a powered wheelchair that the health system won't fund; the cost is $950.

I live with multiple sclerosis. My occupational therapist at the Lahore Mobility Clinic has assessed me and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $950.
My current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 8 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $950 goes:
• powered wheelchair: $860
• Fitting and training sessions: $35
• Delivery and set-up: $10
• First-year servicing plan: $45
Thank you so much.

Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Paris.

Thanks for sharing this, Danish. Wishing Danish a smooth procedure and a full recovery. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Take care
keep going, Danish. This could happen to any of us. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Danish.
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. powered wheelchair comes first ($860) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Good question.
So sorry you're going through this, Danish. Looking forward to the next update!
