A powered wheelchair for Ekkachai: help me move freely
A powered wheelchair would give Ekkachai independence - we're $1,700 away.
🇹🇭 Thailand741 views
I live with a spinal cord injury. My occupational therapist at the Phuket Rehabilitation Centre has assessed me and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,700.
My current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 3 weeks.
With the right equipment I could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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 $1,700 goes:
• powered wheelchair: $1,550
• Fitting and training sessions: $85
• Delivery and set-up: $20
• First-year servicing plan: $45
If you're reading this, thank you.
