A powered wheelchair for Elin: help Elin move freely
Help Elin get a powered wheelchair so She can get to the shops and visit friends.
🇸🇪 Sweden2,520 views
Elin lives with a spinal cord injury. The occupational therapist at the Gothenburg Mobility Clinic has assessed her and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $6,500.
Her current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 10 weeks.
With the right equipment Elin could get to the shops and visit friends. 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 $6,500 goes:
• powered wheelchair: $6,000
• Fitting and training sessions: $300
• Delivery and set-up: $200
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Good news. Because of your gifts ($546 in total) we've started the first stage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Take care. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't give up. Take care.
Hope it all works out. Wishing Elin a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I'll check back for the next update
Stay strong, Leif. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best.
Take care, Leif. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
Hope you get there. Greetings from Kasarani
Good luck. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings.
