I live with an amputation below the knee. My occupational therapist at the Yekaterinburg Rehabilitation Centre has assessed me and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,200. My current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 5 weeks. With the right equipment I could attend work interviews. 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 $1,200 goes: โ€ข powered wheelchair: $1,000 โ€ข Fitting and training sessions: $95 โ€ข Delivery and set-up: $45 โ€ข First-year servicing plan: $60 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
