Gregory lives with a spinal cord injury. The occupational therapist at the Manchester Mobility Clinic has assessed him and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $6,350. His current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 6 weeks. With the right equipment Gregory 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. I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered. Where the $6,350 goes: • powered wheelchair: $5,750 • Fitting and training sessions: $280 • Delivery and set-up: $145 • First-year servicing plan: $175 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Nathan
