A powered wheelchair for Isabela: help Isabela move freely
Help Isabela get a powered wheelchair so She can join the school sports day.
🇧🇷 Belém, Pará, Brazil1,485 views
Isabela lives with an amputation below the knee. The occupational therapist at the Belém Rehabilitation Centre has assessed her and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $2,050.
Her current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 3 weeks.
With the right equipment Isabela 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $2,050 goes:
• powered wheelchair: $1,850
• Fitting and training sessions: $110
• Delivery and set-up: $30
• First-year servicing plan: $60
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Belém!
Thank you. If you're in Belém I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Fair thing to want to know.
Hang in there. Get well soon. Love from Fayetteville.
reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Pokhara.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Keep going, Fernando. Get well soon. Blessings
